Selwyn Morgan was born in Pontypridd, South Wales, into a coal-mining family. Pontypridd was famous for its coal production and distribution, but it is now more famous as the birthplace of Tom Jones; although Tom s singing of The Green, Green Grass of Home seemed a bit odd to Selwyn when having to live amongst the coal tips. Selwyn left Wales in the mid-70s to work in Kuwait and Jordan. Returning to the UK, he finally settled in Kemble and is a member of Cirencester s Somewhere Else Writers Group (somewhere-else-writers.org). The writing group s support and encouragement helped him to complete his first novel about the life and times of men and women from mining communities.
