Ross Heard writes from Manchester, England. His short fiction has been published in Aurealis Magazine and with Flash Fiction North, and he is currently adapting one of his stories into an audio drama with The Lost Poetry Club. Good and Decent Men is his first novel; he is now working on his second and, perhaps foolishly, his third. Ross lives with his wife and enjoys (quick) cryptic crosswords, video games, and diving into DIY with reckless abandon—some of which may even result in improvement.
