I was born in Edinburgh and resided in the capital's historic Royal Mile. (An influence for my third novel, Awakening) Working for a well-known brewer as a representative, I relocated to Aberdeen then Glasgow. Attending college and university, I achieved Chartered Marketer status which assists in marketing my novels. I now stay in a Victorian property in acres of ground which looks onto the River Clyde and this was the spark for my debut novel, The Time Jigsaw. Check out timejigsaw.com for all novels.
Scottish Book Week
On Saturday, 20th November at 1.50pm, there will be a talk which relates to the current novel, Georgina. A WW2 spy thriller set in Crete and beyond. Attendees will get an insight into the fifth book in The Time Jigsaw series due for release next October.
Pitlochry, Perthshire
Scene of the latest book promotion of Georgina. My thanks to the town’s iCentre and railway station book shop. (The latter has appeared twice on television travel programmes)
Book Promotion – Georgina
Following on from Tyndrum, other locations which received a visit included Dalmally, Taynuilt and Oban. When promoting a book, scenic landscapes add to the enjoyment.
Tyndrum, Scenic Scotland
The above location was visited yesterday to promote The Time Jigsaw books. Ideal, given that nearby Crianlarich has a scene in two of them. During my time in Tyndrum, I noted a small, but busy place. Perhaps why it is the only Scottish village to have two railway stations – Tyndrun Upper and Tyndrum Lower which serve two railway lines. One to Fort William, (Upper) and the other to Oban.
Awakening
Still a personal favourite, although all The Time Jigsaw books are special.
Public Libraries
It’s good to hear that libraries are starting to open. Not just for authors to visit and discuss their books, but also to serve their local community. Reading is good therapy and with recent lockdowns, library members have no doubt suffered. The libraries also serve as a community hub for children, as well as adults.
2i’s, Soho
A location for a scene from the forthcoming novel set in 1962. A place where pop groups and singers performed to catch the eye of an agent. Tommy Steele, Cliff and The Drifters plus Vince Eager, to name a few.
February, 1962
In keeping with the 1962 theme of the forthcoming novel, here are two iconic images from February of that year. The Beatles in London with short hair and John Glenn orbiting the Earth in his Mercury capsule.
Happy New Year
To readers of The Time Jigsaw books. Best wishes for 2021.
