Kevan Christie was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Raised in Craigentinny, Portobello and Leith he was politely asked to leave school at 16 and started work in a builder's merchant. He spent the next two decades working in the City's financial institutions where he learnt little about finance and a lot about alcohol abuse. He gained a degree in journalism from Napier University in 2006, working as a bookseller, youth support worker and taxi driver to help fund his studies.
His 14-year journalism career began with the Newsflash Press Agency before stints at the Daily Record, Dundee Evening Telegraph, Scotland on Sunday and The Scotsman where he wrote a weekly column. His favourite band is New Order and his place of worship is Easter Road Stadium the home of Hibernian Football Club. Kevan has been sober since August 2018.
To Be Frank is his debut novel.
