Changes

[[Category:Authors|Carty, Mac]]

Mac Carty is the pseudonym for an old politically incorrect git, who happened to be born in the seaside town of Margate in Kent. When my friend Mike died some eighteen months ago, I realised that I had no longer had anyone to share the fund of stories about growing up in Margate and playing for the cricket club, stories that we used to religiously revisit every month, normally over a pint. I had also always wanted to pay homage to one of the inspirational teachers we had at school, a man who was an exceptional hockey coach and now a good friend. The Vagaries of Swing is the result and is my first literary work, an attempt to record cricketing and occasional hockey tales from the sixties. Life then was largely about being irresponsible and revolved around sport, alcohol and girls if you were lucky.
