About Me

My photo
RICHARD GRAINGER
Manchester, Cheshire, United Kingdom
I'm a freelance writer, specialising in features which are mainly about Rugby. Amongst other things, I write a weekly column on-line column for Rugby World: http://www.rugbyworld.com/news/rugby-worlds-championship-blog-week-1-round-up/ My travel book "The Last Latrine" sold 1500 copies. I'm a bit of a perpetual student. Two years ago I completed an MA in Professional Writing at London Metropolitan University, and last year I took an MA in Journalism at the University of Central Lancashire I'm also currently working on a novel entitled Cowboys and Indians. It's a black comedy set in South Armagh in the '70s. Strange, but true; I was there; stranger still ot's a love story. I also write mildly erotic fiction: "romps" which are a huge amount of fun - for me, anyway! I enjoy running when my body permits, horse riding, music and keeping fit. I used to love drinking beer before I had to give it up.
