This background has led to a unique writing style designed to be heard by the ear rather than read by the eye.
Upon retirement, he adapted his writing style to fit a weekly newspaper column. It soon became one of the most popular items in the paper as his topics deal with everything from politics to poetry, stories to statements and heartbreak to humor. Readers most frequently say…”I never know what you’re gonna’ have next… but I like it.”
That “never know what’ll happen next” element is carried over into “Tales of a Scottish Freewheeler”. The reader will discover a mix of Bar Fights – Castles – Scottish Scenery – History – Fact – Fable - Foolishness and a surprisingly heartwarming finish intertwined with a cast of Midgets – Witches – a Young Genius Inventor – Toothless Antagonist – Nasty Father – Stately Scotsman – Snobbish Englishman and the proverbial …much more. Crossbreed all that with a tasty helping of Scots and Gaelic dialog and you have an intriguing plate served up for most any palate.
Munro was native-born to Chicago, IL, but meandered to other locales before his fateful immigration to Indiana. There he has and will spend his remaining years. His fascination with Scotland has led to personal visits, tours and voracious readings which have culminated in this unusual effort.view less
