I have recently changed career to concentrate on writing fiction. I had always had an idea about becoming a writer but decided to follow that dream after losing my sister to cancer and battling against Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for a number of years. My stories have been published online (including Ether Books and Flashflood websites), in magazines (Take a Break Fiction Feast) and broadcast on the radio.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Boss Killers\u2019 is a dark crime comedy featuring socially inept detectives, greasy-pole climbing executives, feuding gangsters, downtrodden employees, unusual restaurants, a man with the world\u2019s hardest head and very bad coffee. It is available for Kindle download and paperback from Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep up to date with Keith\u2019s writing on his blog:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebosskillers.com\/\">http:\/\/www.thebosskillers.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also follow him\u00a0on Twitter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/keithgillison\">@keithgillison<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/alumni\/2015\/05\/10\/bu-graduate-publishes-first-novel-keiths-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alumni News.<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keith Gillison completed the CIM Postgraduate Diploma from BU in 2004 and, after a career in marketing, has just published his first novel.
