Ken Kamoche was born in Kenya. His management academic career currently requires him to devote his energies, such as they are to Hong Kong, UK and Kenya. His collection of short stories, A Fragile Hope (Salt Publishing, 2007), made the Frank O'Connor long list and the Commonwealth Writers First Book short list.
