Rubbing shoulders with giants!

I am proud to say that I will be appearing alongside the cream of the Scottish literary scene in the 'Booked' festival, which will take place in May.

I will share a platform with William McIlvanney, the father of Scottish crime fiction; legendary writer and artist, Alasdair Gray; The Herald's Literary editor, Rosemary Goring;  historian and bestselling author, Trevor Royle; and last, but most certainly not least, former Booker Prize judge and recipient of the Saltire Society's Book of the Year award, the peerless, Allan Massie.

This select body represent the very pinnacle of Scottish literature - just meeting them will be a thrill. Coincidentally, and most fortunately, I have read and hugely enjoyed the work of all of the above. Indeed, without the inspiration from the likes of Massie and McIlvanney, it is most unlikely I would ever have put pen to paper in the first place.

I will have to be on form - maybe a dram from a small glass before I start! 

The official media launch will be in the next couple of weeks, and will be featured in the likes of The Herald, BBC and The Scotsman.

Meanwhile...
