George Korankye is a radiographer in Scotland. He studied at South Bank University London, and Queen Margaret University Edinburgh. His books draw from his life's experiences. His humorous exchanges with patients inspired his first book Die Laughing (2008). This was a compilation of stories from the public of how humour helped them cope with adversity.
For his first novel, I can see clearly now the rain is gone (2009) he reflected on the experiences of the parents of Dunblane. He, his wife and their young children (5 and 6 respectively), had been in the audience when one of the children of Dunblane was interviewed in 1996. He also works in the hospital where most of the victims were treated. In 2008 his daughter became pregnant. This caused him to reflect on the feelings of the parents of Dunblane denied grandchildren. The novel was written from a parent's perspective.
His latest novel Team Twenty Ten... (2010) was inspired by the H1N1 flu virus of 2009.
