Ross Tuohy is a disabled writer living in Alvechurch in the West Midlands of England. His latest short story 'Voyages' appears in the July 2017 issue of NW magazine. He lives with his husky cross Lemmie and enjoys taking her on long walks when not working on his next story.
Tuohy seems to thrive in this setting and as a result his words paint vivid pictures and bring the reader into the setting, letting them see the motion of the characters, the wind rolling through the landscape, and smell the stench of cigar smoke stinging at their nostrils.
