About the AuTHoR

Jim Green

Jim Green grew up in Ferguslie Park, Paisley, in the 1950s and 60s, a community the rest of Scotland wrote off before most of its residents had finished primary school. He did not stay written off.

He went to university. He lectured there. He built a business, lost it to bankruptcy and rebuilt himself on a farm in Denmark before returning to work in some of the harshest offshore environments in the North and Irish Seas. He worked in security, brushed against organised crime, stood as a candidate for the Scottish Government and served as election agent and coordinator for senior Labour figures including Jim Maxton, former Secretary of State for Scotland under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. He visited No. 10 Downing Street. He attended the Queen’s Garden Parties.

He also married Elaine, raised three children and now has ten grandchildren. He lives in a country house six miles from Feegie. He has never pretended those two facts are unrelated.
Jim began writing Another Feg in 2004 while attending a creative writing course at the University of Glasgow. He finished it because he nearly ran out of time. A near-fatal heart attack in late 2024 made certain he got it done.
He remains, in his own words, without fear and unvanquished.
