K, Frederick: - Frederick K. was born in 1961 in Hertfordshire, England. At a young age, he enjoyed walking in the countryside, and there began his love of nature and wildlife. From here, this led him to walk many of the British national trails, such as the Pennine Way, Offa s Dyke, and many more. He also loved skiing and being in the mountains. After a short sales career, he eventually became a groundsman for a local school; it was here that he realised he had a love for writing.
