NEIL K. HENDERSON was born in 1956 in Glasgow, Scotland. He is the son of artist and mountaineer Drummond Henderson (1900 - 1961) and maternal grandson of artist and illustrator Harry Keir (hence the middle K. in his name). Neil's idiosyncratically humorous works of bizarre imagination have been appearing in magazines of all descriptions in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, India and Cyprus since 1987. He has also written several novels, as well as comedy TV and radio scripts. He is currently writing flash fiction.

Neil K. Henderson attributes his success to the practice of always carrying about his person a small piece of cheese attached to a length of string. This causes many people to ask: "Success? What success?"
