Post from a writer in Scotland – the West Highlands of Scotland to be exact on a soggy afternoon.

Not quite a technophobe but very close to that description I started writing with an AMSTRAD – remember them with their green text and dot matrix printers ? Still, we could delete and cut and paste.

I write historical novels – a story teller rather than a literary genius like Paul Lynch.. Simple not complicated.

Red because I’m angry – angry about injustice, about homelessness, about lack of rehab and support, about governments that don’t care.

FROM THE RIVERS TO THE SEA.

I’m only anti-semitic because Bibi declared Israel a Jewish state.

Born in Ireland and believe in a United Ireland – will we ever get rid of the bigots ?

BOOKS I LIKE – GRACE by Paul Lynch, SHUGGIE BAIN by Douglas Stuart, LONG ISLAND by Andrea Levy, REDEMPTION FALLS by Joseph O’Connor..

And my own – but not in the same league – SHIABA and THE SHEARER
