Alec Dunn

4/5 ( ratings)

Born in North Wales sometime during the 1970s, Alec Dunn spent his early years attending a state comprehensive and living in a happy family home along with his father, mother, brother and shaky legged, vomiting, travel-sick dog.
Attending Salford University with the financial support of a government grant and parents, Alec achieved an honours degree and a questionable balance between the knowledge he gained and the brain cells he lost.
Returning to North Wales to follow his dream of working in a variety of low paid menial jobs, he rejected any possibility of a career in favour of temporary and agency work, including working as a hotel porter, sanding car bumpers, hand stacking cheese slices and completing questionnaires on the mean streets of Mold. He once walked some miles home after being bussed to a chicken factory, smelling it and refusing to work. Things reached an all time low when he was offered a permanent contract by a well known insurance company after temping in their office, filing. Having failed to reject enough claims and managing to give away a free fridge to a nice old lady he chatted to for half an hour, the insurance company closed the office.
Alec moved to Nottingham to live above a butcher’s shop in wonderful Dickensian squalor. He failed to shoot any rats with an air pistol and found temporary work for a tobacco company. After realising that he needed to make amends for his support of evil corporations, he successfully completed a PGCE in 2000, before beginning work in the Mansfield area, trying to teach the English language.
It was around this time he met his wife, also a teacher, and they married in 2005, having their first child in 2006. They moved to the beautiful country of New Zealand shortly after and greatly enjoyed living in the wonderful city of Wanganui in the North Island. They enjoyed it so much that their second child was born a little time later.
Returning to the UK in 2009 to allow their children to experience their rightful national heritage of twenty three hour a day cloud cover and miserable pale face, they settled briefly in the Peak District. Alec particularly enjoyed visiting the National Stone Centre on a regular basis. Still living in too pleasant an area of the world, he moved away from the Peak District to continue a career in teaching, using the opportunity of moving house to squeeze in having a third child.
Currently, Alec is juggling the time demands of a full time teaching job, three children and writing. Life is busy.
