About The Author

John Kv Eunson

John KV Eunson was born in Shetland where he lived until moving to the mainland to study at the University of Edinburgh. John has spent most of his working life in bookselling and publishing but can also shear a sheep in just under twenty minutes, which provided the inspiration for his first book Sheep For Beginners published in 2005. He still hopes to write the sequel Sheep For Intermediates sometime in the future. John lives in Edinburgh and would be delighted to present a TV programme on Scottish history, but doesn’t really have the hair for it.
