Author Profile: Raymond Walker is the author of seven novels, two compendiums of short stories and two books of poetry (though they intersect somewhat). He was born in 1962 and raised in Argyll, Scotland, before moving to Edinburgh to attend university.
His love of the countryside, forests, mountains and the relics of his native Scotland are reflected deeply in his writing. His tales echo the dark past and history, the unknown places and wonders of Scotland at the point where reality dips into fantasy until nothing is quite as it seems.
He lives in Prestwick, Ayrshire with his long suffering partner.
Not one to be pigeon-holed, his books range from romances and ghost stories to historical fiction and fantasy. He is the winner of several writing competitions and his books have received critical acclaim worldwide. His new novel "The Secret Inside" was released on the first of June this year.
He is working on two new novels. "Written in the Stars" a Science fiction Romance and "Sommerled" which is a piece of heroic fiction or historical fantasy. He has not yet decided which it will be. Additionally he is working on a second volume of the critically acclaimed "A River of Tears" which will be released soon.
"The Secret Inside"
Everyone has "A Secret Inside", a place where no one goes, always hidden from others buried deep in the dungeons of their soul. A perversion that they will not admit to, a longing to take someones life. A lust that lies unfulfilled, a wish to dominate, A desire to humiliate and maim.
Sometimes these thoughts haunt their dreams, sometimes their waking hours. It comes crawling up from the darkest depths of their being, rising from its lair to hurt and damage destroy and maim.
