My thanks to Ann, who organised the author talk at Astley Hall in Arisaig on Thurday evening. The village features in the forthcoming novel. Also, the Heritage Centre in Mallaig received a visit. My gratitude to them for suppling information about the previous novel (Georgina) which has its conclusion in Mallaig, circa 1947.
The above locations received a visit yesterday. The library and Argyll Bookshop in Lochgilphead, plus the Grey Gull Inn at nearby Ardrishaig. For those who have read books 1 aand 3 in my series, the inn is mentioned frequently. My thanks to people I met on a warm sunny day in scenic Argyll.
My thanks to the people of this Scottish town set in the highlands for their welcoming attitude. A successful visit in terms of profile-raising and book purchases. However, during my visit, the town’s high street was a lot busier.
The forthcoming novel is set in Berlin between 1912 and 1940. One of the main characters, a young actress, has a role in an iconic film released in 1927. Shot in the German capital, the actress is caught up in a scandal.

October 1962 turned out to be a poignant period in time. Not only for the planet avoiding a nuclear war, also the first James Bond film and debut single by a group from Liverpool. With the forthcoming novel set in 1962, Earthman will give you a flavour of that year.
In this month 60 years ago, medium-range missiles were shipped to Cuba and if armed, could reach America. Thus began the Cuban Missile Crisis which culminated in the above newspaper headline. The forthcoming novel is set before and during events and will be released in October to coincide when the crisis reached its peak. Details to follow.
