Although she lives in Atlanta, Margo was born "a stone's throw" from where Gordon was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and his accent reminded her of her father's. They immediately became friends. Margo is a hugely prolific writer and asked Gordon if he'd maybe read a few of her stories so they could produce a cd. Well, since Gordon is a seasoned sound engineer and has his own recording studio (www.scotchproductions.com) it was just a delight for him to add music and sound effects to enhance the wonderful children's stories which Margo wrote. Then, Gordon's twin brother George came into the picture when the goat which Margo had done such a good job of drawing, had to be "tartanised" made into tartan. George is a graphic designer in Edinburgh and he kindly donated his talents to the project. For some more interesting stuff about Gordon, go to http://scotchproductions.com/glamrock.html
Margo Fallis was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. When she was 7 years old, her parents, three brothers and one sister sailed on an ocean liner to Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Life was different there and her mother couldn't adjust to Christmas in the summertime, so three years later, at age 10, they moved again, via ocean liner, to Glendale, California. After 2 years in the Los Angeles area, a final move was made to Salt Lake City, Utah.
Margo graduated from East High School in SLC and got married shortly after that. She had 5 children, four girls and a son.
Because of her large family, Margo started writing stories to read to her children when she tucked them in at night. As time passed, she started selling her stories to magazines and got a job writing children's stories for the Ministry of Tourism of Egypt and also worked for a similar company in Jordan, helping promote tourism there.
Margo wrote articles for The SPectrum, the local newspaper of St. George, Utah and also did cover/feature stories for St. George Magazine. She began writing for several Arab magazines and traveled through the Arab world, interviewing people such as members of the royal family of Jordan.
