Alec Hargreaves
Alec Hargreaves, descendant of the writer William Harrison Ainsworth (1805–1882), was born into a family where storytelling was seen as the norm.
After a ten-year career in driver training, he took a keen interest in the human mind and went on to study counselling and psychotherapy, whereupon he was awarded the CPCAB Advanced Diploma.
He then went on to study with the Open University for four years, successfully graduating with a BA(Hons) in English language and literature.
He has travelled extensively throughout Asia. Whilst living in South Korea, he wrote and published a collection of short stories titled Approaching Midnight. He currently lives in England with his Korean wife, Kate, who is his life-long companion, inspiration and travelling partner.
