Gary McKay is a speculative fiction writer from Northern Ireland. He studied at the University of Ulster for four years, graduating with a first from a Bachelor of Arts in English and obtaining a Master of Research. He met a wolf on a skiing trip once; they don’t stay in touch. He also quit caffeine in 2018, but has no plans to quit his other major vice, book shopping.

 

He’s had stories published in Reflexion, Blowing Raspberries, The Purple Breakfast Review and Tidbits, and hopes many more publications will follow. One day, he might finally start writing novels. Gary can be found on Twitter at @garycmckay.
