Ken McClure doesn’t like being referred to as the 21st Century Nostradamus, mostly because Ken writes a lot of dark and gloomy novels. By the early 1980s, Ken McClure was heavily steeped in matters of medicine and biology.įull-time writing didn’t come into the picture until 2000. Suddenly encouraged to be all he could be, Ken McClure went to night school and slowly moved through the educational ranks until he got his doctorate in molecular genetics. But then he met Archie Wallace at the hospital that employed him and the great doctor pushed to embark on a journey of self-improvement. Ken was relatively content with his position in life at the time. But he abandoned that path and became a lab technician in Edinburgh.

Ken was initially part of the Merchant navy. It isn’t something he sought out at an early age. After all, the author did not initially care for writing as a career. It could be argued that Ken McClure’s encounter with these great men had an impact on his decision to pursue publishing. Going to Boroughmuir High School gave the author the chance to meet Sorley Maclean. Norman wasn’t the only literary figure that Ken had the pleasure of meeting at such an early age. When he wasn’t playing around the Union Canal, Ken was attending Craiglockhart Primary School, a fact about his history that would be easily ignored if not for the fact that one of his teachers was Norman MacCaig.

The author’s memories of life in Edinburgh are largely positive. Ken McClure was born in Edinburgh in the 50s. Ken has been referred to as a modern-day Nostradamus who writes novels that predict the future of medicine. Ken McClure is an author from Scotland that writes medical thrillers.
