As the WorldCon ticks ever closer, here are my thoughts on a classic Scottish SF novel from the 1930s, Three Go Back by James Leslie Mitchell (aka Lewis Grassic Gibbon).

Publication day again!
A bittersweet moment for me, as this is not only the final volume in my second trilogy but also the last story set in a world, and featuring characters, I've been working with for almost 12 years.
Part of me is glad it's done, and looking forward to new projects. And part is sad to say goodbye to a cast of characters I've come to know so well.

When the hunter becomes the prey. ‘The High Road’ is a fast-paced contemporary thriller set mainly in central Scotland and the far north-west.
Achmelvich on the west coast of Sutherland is visited by the book’s two central characters as they get to know each other. The magnificent peak of Suilven, seen here from the north-west, is an important part of the background to the story.
