About the Author

Angus Shoor Caan is a prolific writer known for his diverse body of work spanning across various genres. With thirteen novels already under his belt and another in the pipeline, Angus has established himself as a versatile and imaginative storyteller. In addition to his novels, Angus has penned twenty-three volumes of McLimericks, capturing the essence of the beautiful West Coast of Scotland through witty and engaging verse written phonetically to reflect the local dialect.

Angus’s creativity extends beyond traditional prose and poetry. He has also crafted a hybrid collection titled “Other People’s Houses,” blending short stories and poetry in a style reminiscent of the great Australian poet, singer-songwriter, actor, and champion of the Aborigine, Paul Kelly. One of Angus’s unique projects is “Board Bill’s Hot 100,” where he takes the titles of 100 of his favorite songs and transforms them into poems, accompanied by insightful commentary on the artists behind the music.

The inspiration behind this book traces back to a nostalgic conversation with an old friend, Dave Thom, during a time when they were living in the moment. As they shared stories over a few joints or beers, Dave jokingly requested a mention in his first novel, a notion that hadn’t even crossed his mind at the time. However, as fate would have it, Dave’s request stuck with him, and as he embarked on his writing journey, he found himself weaving Dave’s presence into the fabric of his stories. In each of his thirteen novels, Dave appears in varying forms, a tribute to their cherished friendship and the memories they’ve shared. In “Violet Hiccup: 51 Shades of Pink,” Dave finally steps onto the pages as himself, embodying the essence of their camaraderie and the spirit of their shared experiences.
