Marty Dickson was born in a small market village called Sixmilecross, in the county of Tyrone, Northern Ireland and spent all of his youth living there. He started to write music at the age of fifteen and played his first live gig at the age of seventeen in the local farmers club. His love for rock music and motorcycles was to become his passion in life. In 1987, he moved to Cambridge with his then-girlfriend, Elaine, whom he married ten years later. He played bass guitar in numerous bands over the years, spending most of his time on the road touring or in a studio, waiting and recording music. He also became a keen restorer of old motorcycles, which he owned to his father, Cecil Dickon, an ex-road racer and a restorer himself. In 2015, he decided to give up on the constant touring and turned to writing books. His first book was released in 2018 through Austin Maculey Publishers, All for the Love of a Father. He has never forgotten his hometown and writes passionately about his love for it. In this second novel, Sixmilescross has yet again played a role in it.
