Thanks for stopping by. As you can see in the About page, I’m a writer aspiring to be an author. I’m also an avid reader so don’t be surprised to find some book recommendations in my Posts.
McX obviously isn’t my given name. I stole it from the title (and title character) of a strange little book by Todd McEwen. Something I first read McX when I was living in Manchester and spending most weekends in Scotland (often Edinburgh), and later I learned that McEwen was an ex-pat American living in Edinburgh when he wrote the book. While I wouldn’t say that I identify with the strange little McX of the book, the crusty wee fellow somehow worked his way into my heart and mind and though that was many years ago, I’ve often used McX as an alter ego in forums and websites.
I know it’s probably a terrible pen name and I’ll likely change it in the future, but for now, I’m McX.
