Russell Lyon is a farmer's son from Lanarkshire. At an early age he realized that a farmer's life was not for him and graduated from the Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine in Edinburgh in 1967. He left Scotland soon after to pursue his career in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. He was a partner and then principal in a very successful mixed practice for many years but also had a parallel career in writing. He is the author of eight books, innumerable magazine articles and has made regular contributions on radio. He has appeared on Grampian TV and the Landward series for BBC Scotland where he successfully demonstrated ancient horse whispering methods. After living and working in Hong Kong he has a continual fascination with the Far East.
