Lives in East Lothian, Scotland, writes scary books, takes a lot of photographs and thrashes guitars.
Some pics of Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian. Neither The Holy Grail or Tom Hanks were available for the shoot that day.

How not to publish your sequel: a thread 🧵
1. Pay for a book cover before you’ve finished your final edit.
2. Lose your designer to the void.
3. Forget you even need a page count for the spine.
Guess who did all three? 😂👇

Two pubs which appear in the new book, Accent Reds, which was released last week. The Aviary, in Dublin - which in reality was demolished in the 1960s - and Whistlebinkies in Edinburgh - which is still alive, well, and putting on top live bands most nights of the week! #clubmedusa #accentreds

I have a new book out on 17th June, a sequel to my book, Club Medusa.
If you like contemporary gothic horror thrillers, late night clubs, some obscure edinburgh buildings and a certain terrifying painting in the Louvre - then Club Med ties all those things together - AR takes it all even further.

Big day coming for me on 16th June - second book hits the shops. And then of course it’s the race to get the third one edited, polished up and released out into the wild to join them!
