Duncan RoyDuncan Roy is the pen name of Duncan Hossack whose career leading independent schools in Canada and the USA gives him a unique insight into the world his fictional characters inhabit.

Duncan grew up in London and moved to Canada at the ageof 24 pursuing the woman he loved. Duncan and Janet live in a pretty village west of Toronto and spend summers at their old farmhouse on Prince Edward Island.

Duncan has wasted a lot of time watching cricket, sampling craft beer, and reading contemporary fiction in his hammock but periodically raises enough energy to hike in the rarified atmosphere of the High Andes or the Himalayas or to brave the sweltering heat of the Amazon or the dusty emptiness of the Kalahari in search of new experiences and the solace of the natural world.

Duncan graduated from the University of St Andrew's with a Master's degree in Mediaeval History and Fine Art and has pursued studies in education at the University of London, the University of Manitoba, Florida Atlantic University and Harvard University. Read More Read Less
