Final trip of the year into The Great Wilderness. HNY to all...

Time to say goodbye to 2025 on an eerie note, with a free download of "Everyday Eerie" from GossamerWight Literary Magazine (ePub or PDF). Contains my story "Heat Treatment", which should chill the cockles of your heart.... Available here - www.gossamerwight.com/store

Go on - you know it makes sense...

Looking for a seasonal read or a gift for a book lover? Soot & Boots is ready for December nights. #SootAndBoots

Loch Insh yesterday...

Features my ghost story "Asylum Seekers". Christmas presence...

Yesterday's stroll...

Thirty writers, thirty winter visions. Soot & Boots brings them together in one seasonal anthology. Out soon. #SootAndBoots

It's almost here. The antidote to enforced jollity, venomously spiced coffee and jingling carols in shopping malls. Your very own Christmas captivity play... #SootAndBoots

Yesterday, as the snow clouds moved in...

Views taken yesterday from the top of Bidean Clann Raonaild, arguably the Scottish peak with the best summit panorama in relation to the effort expended in getting there..

Includes one of my tales. Yes, it's that time of year again. Merry Hell...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The trick or treaters are already out and about here in Scotland...

Out today! Features "Witch Hunt", a tale of mine that should put you off hiking in the Highlands of Scotland this winter. Or any other time, come to that...

America, as seen by every other country (Art by Ben Jennings, The Guardian).

Taken at work today...

I guess I might as well give up trying to write weird fiction...

Red, white and blue...

Out for a walk...

Inspired by places like this...

Roll on September...

OK, there's a conflict of interest here the size of the Hindenburg, but I think you should buy this...

See my friend...

Well, it's here. Such stuff as screams are made on....

Includes one of my tales...

Summer in Scotland is in May this year...

Huge thanks to @brokenspinearts.bsky.social who've accepted my ghost story "Asylum Seekers" for their Christmas anthology, "Soot & Boots" (coming your way later this year, in good time for Merry Hell...).

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

Looking forward to this....

Real winter, as seen in Scotland...

Frost Zone Stories Book 1 and Book 2 are coming in 2025. Mid-late January we will announce which of the selected authors will be in Book 1. These are fantastic stories! We can't wait for the first book/issue to drop this coming spring. 🥶🖤

Two weeks back, Frost Zone Stories announced that they were giving 48 hours for folk to write a ghost story for Christmas. But it had to be EXACTLY 100 or 200 words. The top 13 stories are in an e-book that you can download for free - one of my stories is in it.... Click - payhip.com/FrostZonePress

Really pleased to be part of this. Merry Hell...

Sotland in winter (Beinn Eighe, yesterday morning).

Another recent trip into The Great Out There...

Well, the experimental first post seemed to work, so here's another one. Taken yesterday in Scotland...
