Mr Kavanagh said he had been writing short stories for about 10 to 15 years before he wrote the first of his books.

The Pipits Croft resident is married to Maggie, 50, and a grandfather of four.

He said: “The grandchildren aren’t quite old enough yet, but my three daughters, who are grown up now, are very proud of what I do.

“If it was not for my wife this would not have happened because, obviously, I have to shut myself away to write and she doesn’t mind.”
