The illustrious Scottish-born artist James McBey (whose works grace the walls of museums & galleries worldwide) died OTD in Tangier, Morocco 65yrs ago.

A Dec. 1959 edition of the Tangier Gazette described the swashbuckling creative as “a striking personality whose wit & charm were legendary”.

I'mso delighted to be able to share this! My next book with Wildfire is a historical novel based on the true story of Madeleine Smith, the wealthy young socialite who in 1857 stood trial for the murder of her lover, in a case that shocked the world. But did she do it? @headlinebooks.bsky.social
