Writer Mo Fanning grew up near Birmingham in the UK but left for pastures new as soon as he could legally drive, spending much of his grown-up life in the Netherlands, before returning home just before lockdown took hold. He has contributed to 100 Stories for Haiti and written for the Observer travel section. His first novel 'The Armchair Bride' was nominated for Arts Council Book of the Year, and his work was turned into a short play for BBC America. 'Rebuilding Alexandra Small' climbed the best selling lists in the UK, Canada and Australia.
