He hopes to write many more books before the darkness takes him completely.
You may well have noticed that many of my short stories, my novels and novellas, no matter how distinct from each other, have a theme of sorts. It is not Fantasy, Science fiction, nor even horror or ghostly tales. Rather a thing that they all have in common and that Is the weather of Scotland. It is a beast that torments and humiliates us; strange, stormy and forbidding, in the winter. Often even in the summer and it plays always upon the lives of those that live in "This Northern Land", so much so that I have decided to add a weather forecast to the site. I have set it to Ayr, but you can check anywhere on it.
I hope that you check it often and my blog along with it.
Also there are cool wee pictures.
