Name: Dauvit Alexander (The 'Dauvit' is middle Scots for 'David'). Address: dauvit@clanjamfrie.demon.co.uk Geographical location: Glasgow, Scotland. Interests: Hillwalking, mountain-biking, climbing, fencing (with swords), music and, of course, literature - Especially Scottish and 20th Century French. Job: I'm a manufacturing jeweller/silversmith and I teach those subjects too. About my writing: I started writing about four years ago, mostly rubbish then, but have recently had a few of my short stories published. My work is heavily influenced by ALASDAIR GRAY and GEORGES PEREC and I have recently been exploring the use of typography to further narrative, not an ideal format for publication through an e-mail system, though I have been experimenting with hypertext, which is very suitable for rendering the footnotes of which I am so fond. -- Dauvit Alexander
