  • FOR RICHER, FOR POORER, FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE

    Time to do it, enough putting it off, you’ve been gone six months now. As difficult as it is, there’s something therapeutic about clearing out your belongings. Especially in the garage. All the little knick-knacks you’ve kept over the years, never to be used. Some I can sort into boxes, some I can give to…

  • INVASIVE SPECIES

    The spores floated through the air. No one knew where they had come from. Some said outer space, some said underground, some said the remotest part of the Great Steppe.

  • IN PRAEPARATIONE

  • THE BARRA BOY BOOK TOUR

    Last weekend, I hit the road with my new novel, ‘The Barra Boy’. Two book events and signings were organised, one at Waterstones Oban and one on the island of Barra itself, at the Buth Bharraigh, the local community shop.
