3) In a changing and turbulent world, we need more journalism, not less. I would appeal to Scottish Television to think again. You, too, can make your voice heard, by signing this online petition urging the company to reconsider. c.org/kwYmGnz2C5

2) The journalists covering this area have been involved in various campaigns at the heart of these communities over the years and doing away with in situ coverage will mean issues that affect people in these parts will be less heard.

1) Scottish Television are proposing to shut down their “STV North” programme - which covers anywhere north of Perth, the Highlands and Islands, Moray and Aberdeen. Basically half the country, where news has been delivered for sixty years with a very separate and strong local identity.

In the last couple of years I have been writing and recording music with friends. "Towards The Light", an album of eleven songs, reflects on the world today, and on the process of growing old. Anyone interested can pre-save it here on Spotify. distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

Cheers, Seumas! 😀

Dawn with Daftie. This looks like frost. How I wish it was! Just mist lying across the fields before the rising sun burns it off. The heatwave continues 😢

So looking forward to reading this new one from @authorpetermay.bsky.social Does anyone else suffer from being so excited to start a new book by a fav author and then not want to finish it as it will be over? #favauthors #scottish #finmacleodseries #crimefiction

Back soon with new pics in the autumn!

With one of the biggest sales jumps of the week, THE BLACK LOCH, has leapt up to Nº3 in the Sunday Times paperback bestsellers list, and Nº4 in the Total Consumer Market. A huge thank you to all my loyal readers!

Bought the paperback years ago and loved it - and now I've got it on Kindle too. I really enjoy trying to portray life in Shetland but no one does island crime like @authorpetermay.bsky.social. Go on, treat yourself. After all, 99p doesn't even buy you a bar of chocolate these days. 📚💙 #booksky

My latest thriller, The Black Loch, publishes today in paperback - I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. You can get a copy from your local bookshop or online: www.waterstones.com/book/the-bla...

Just read this, a good read, entertaining and definitely leaves you wondering... #Agoodread @authorpetermay.bsky.social

When The Chessmen published in 2013, I was ready to leave Finn Macleod and the Isle of Lewis behind. But The Black Loch demanded to be written, and so The Lewis Trilogy became The Lewis Thrillers. The Black Lock, the 4th instalment in The Lewis Thrillers, will be published in paperback on July 17.

Replace satire with juvenile.

This is fake news. No place for it on BlueSky.

Reform will turn the UK into a pale imitation of Trump's America. Imagine a British equivalent of ICE on our streets. No NHS. No parliamentary powers, just a nicotine-stained fascist dictator making insane decisions.

Dusk without Daftie. Saint Malo at the end of the day.

Great sky!

Dawn without Daftie. I‘m at Saint Malo this weekend for the international book festival, Etonnants Voyageurs, and sadly had to leave the wee man at home.

The best yet @authorpetermay.bsky.social I've been to Cadaqués so enjoyed going back there with Enzo. What next? Can't wait to start Freeze frame

Today’s dawn with Daftie: 05.54.

Well, you and I are the same age, and it’s only natural to be more conscious of the end as it draws closer. I’ve just completed an album of new songs on that very theme. It’s called “Towards the Light”.

Another day, another dawn with Daftie.

Brilliant again @authorpetermay.bsky.social The 'who's trying to kill Enzo' plot thickens. 🤔

Lone boat.

My dad (left) and his best friend, immediately pre war. Unbeknownst to either of them, each was later sent to serve in India, and in an extraordinary coincidence met by chance in a hotel restaurant in Bombay.
