Fiction and non-fiction
As a journalist turned author, I have published everything from experimental poetry to financial reports. My latest novel, which I’ve just completed, is about an imaginary religion called Indigo and is set in Calton, a fictionalised version of Glasgow. I’m currently working on a non-fiction book about the Isles of Harris and Lewis, which will be published next year by Birlinn.
