About Me

I'm an author and freelance journalist, venturing into the world of 'blogs' for the first time. Although I usually write from dreams, these are purely formed from my own opinions, observations and general silliness. If you're feeling brave, why not read a couple? Or if you want to go back to the safety of nice, familiar books, venture back to the main site.


A Sneak Peek - Posted on 11/3/2009


Well, I've finally done it. Here is a sneak preview of Grassmarket Blood in its rawest form; the printed manuscript. After much toiling and trouble and losing my sanity, I've finally reached the submission process.

It's a bit of a genre mash-up: I'd describe it as weird/funny/frivolous crime/thriller set around the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and I'd say my target audience is most definitely 'grown-ups'.

I'm not going to tell you much more about the story at the moment, but if you know of anyone in the industry/are a indeed a publisher who might be remotely interested in reading such a thing, then do not just close the browser and whistle off back to your lovely working day, please do get in touch! Would be most jovial to hear from you.

And as soon as I get over the paranoia of 'is it good enough?' the submission process can well and truly get on a roll... Wish me luck!
