Derek NivenDerek Niven is a pseudonym used by the author John McGee, a member of ASGRA, in the publication of his factual genealogical writings and Derek Beaugarde for his fictional science fiction writings. John McGee, aka 'The Two Dereks', was born in 1956 inthe railway village of Corkerhill, Glasgow and he attended Mosspark Primary and Allan Glen's schools. The late great actor Sir Derek Bogarde spent two unhappy years at Allan Glen's when he was a pupil named Derek Niven van den Bogaerde, thus the observant reader will readily be able to discern the origin of the two pseudonyms. After spending 34 years in the rail industry in train planning and accountancy John McGee retired in 2007. In 2012 the idea for his apocalyptic science fiction novel first emerged and 2084: The End of Days (c) Derek Beaugarde was published by Corkerhill Press in 2016. This was followed by Pride of the Lions (c) Derek Niven published by Corkerhill Press in 2017 and Pride of the Jocks (c) Derek Niven, foreword by Kathleen Murdoch, published by Corkerhill Press in 2018. The third book in the series is Pride of the Bears published by Corkerhill Press in 2020. Read More Read Less
