THE SNITCH

22/01/2021 ~ Iain Kelly ~ 6 Comments

'All you have to do is tell them exactly what I told you.' It was easy for him to say. I was a snitch, everyone knew I was a snitch, that's why they were using me, but I liked to think I was an honest snitch. I didn't tell the detective anything that wasn't true. … Continue reading THE SNITCH

ROGUE AGENT

16/12/2020 ~ Iain Kelly ~ 49 Comments

My wrists were tied to a wooden bar. The door closed and I was alone. A switch clicked and light flooded the room and spilled through the fabric of the sack over my head. 'Hello?' A hand pulled the sack away and I looked into his face. 'So you found me,' he said. 'What should … Continue reading ROGUE AGENT

LANDSLIDE

10/11/2020 ~ Iain Kelly ~ 26 Comments

The bright red blinking lights spread across the road, breaking the pitch black of the night. I stopped and rolled down the window, feeling the unpleasant cold rain hitting my face. A police officer in a rain smock leaned over. 'Road's closed. Landslide down the mountainside.' 'The Old Military road too?' This was the usual … Continue reading LANDSLIDE

PERTINENT

29/10/202029/10/2020 ~ Iain Kelly ~ 8 Comments

'There are only two pertinent questions: who stands to gain the most, and who stands to lose the most?' My old partner's advice circling around my head. At the start of every case, as I approach every crime scene, as I question every suspect - who gains and who loses? Up until now those questions … Continue reading PERTINENT

A SEARCH FOR THE SERENE

03/09/2020 ~ Iain Kelly ~ 36 Comments

I lit out for the coast searching for serenity. I had no idea if it would be there or not, but it sure as hell wasn't where I was coming from so I had nothing to lose. Hitch-hiking across the country wasn't for me. I'm not a people person and the thought of making small … Continue reading A SEARCH FOR THE SERENE

Spring Break
So it begins. And for the first time in 23 years, there are Scotland stickers to collect! Doubler swaps available once social distancing allows.
Productive day #cupcakes #easter #baking
3 books in 1 volume. My trilogy of novels are now available in a collected edition, exclusively from Amazon.
Pink Sky Spam
Almost spring-like
On iPlayer and CBeebies. Great fun making this last year. Perfect tonic to lockdown blues.
More snow pictures from the local walk because there has been nothing else for the last 6 weeks #enoughsnowalready
For the first time in 38 years.1983. Incredible.
It's always nice to see my book out there in the world! Thanks to the lovely @imemilytricker for sending these pictures of her copy of A Justified State. 🥰📚🙂
Maybe even better than the film.
Lockdown + Snow + @foliosociety Sale + No Resolve = New Book Stack
