#TheParisPeacemakers follows the young men who were part of the Scottish rugby team in 1914. Now the war is over, Rob can barely comprehend that so many of his teammates are dead. What was it all for?

Looking forward to this….

Thank you 📚 Ennis Book Club Festival | March 7-9 2025 📚 for such a warm welcome at a great book festival. Congratulations also to Eamon and Ronan.

This is such a lovely winning story by Susan Elsley. It features clouds, the Highlands, books & clever dialogue. Super-evocative as well. What's not to like!👏👏 ennisbookclubfestival.com/announcing-the…

This International Women’s Day, why not read What You Call Free by Flora Johnston, a moving tale of female-bonding. Set in 17th cent Edinburgh, the novel follows the journey of 2 strong female protagonists in quest of freedom in the face of religious persecution.

My novel #TheParisPeacemakers includes a storyline about the #WWI Scottish rugby team and comes out in April.
I reckon a Scottish Rugby Guinness Men's Six Nations championship win in March would generate interest nicely.
You heard it here first.... 🤣🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Delighted to get my hands on a copy of Crannog magazine. This is a really lovely magazine with some wonderful writing, including this beautiful story by my friend Susan Elsley.

You’ve seen all the gubbins and garbage all over the broken pavements. Now imagine what it’s like when you can’t. Two properly painful and many minor prangs last year dented my pride and my confidence. theguardian.com/world/2024/jan…

We went down to Holyrood! A Paperboats Writers climate action, with choir led by Karine Polwart and Stephen Deazley. Poems, songs and origami for a swift and just transition. We need cross-party action, and we need it now.
