Sandy was born in Ormiston, East Lothian, Scotland, where he grew up and then
went on to study mathematics at St Andrews University, Fife, before moving
to Wales and then England.
His interests include
the Scots Language and British Sign Language, and he has created and maintains
a collection of Scots literature at scotstext.org and has made a start on a British Sign Language site at bsltext.org.
He has had short stories and poetry, mostly in Scots, published in various
magazines, some of which can be read at his personal website at sandyfleming.org.
When not hunched
over a computer or vegetating in front of the television, Sandy may be spotted
in the various deaf clubs and goth clubs around the country, doing
whatever it is deafies and goths do at these places.
