David Garner
Riding The Tiger is David Garner’s fifth book, and his second of short stories. A widely experienced writer, he has written on subjects as diverse as wildlife conservation, autobiography, property and business. As a freelance writer, he wrote features for a London media company, sometimes diverting to write after-dinner speeches and other commissions.
A varied career including gamekeeper, paratrooper, sales manager and business analyst / debt negotiator has proved a rich source of inspiration for his short stories.
The short story looks deceptively simple, but must convey characters, setting and drama in comparatively few words, a writing challenge which makes the short story my favourite genre.
