Vincent O'Donnell is a retired school teacher, living in Glasgow, Scotland. He has written a number of short stories, including several which have been published in the Irish Christmas magazine, The Holly Bough. He has also self-published a short volume of poems, which raised over GBP500 for charity and has written a number of songs and hymns, some of which have been recorded and distributed locally. Vincent has created a series of picture book stories, written in rhyme, for his grandchildren, featuring the character Jungle Jim, whose adventures have taken him to rugby matches, local museums and the planet Mars. With the older children now beginning to read for themselves, it was time to write something more substantial for them and the result was Vincent's first children's adventure story - The Legend of Bellrock Castle.When not writing or looking after his grandchildren, Vincent enjoys reading, country walks, golf, football and playing his guitar.
