This is my first posting - a writer's blog and co-incides with the publication of my children's novel 'Magnus Fin and the ocean quest,' which comes out on october 22nd. I won the kelpies prize for this novel 2009 and the launch is in Edinburgh on oct 21st.
I would be happy to make this blog a forum for writers, for children's writers, for children readers and for people wishing to share something of this generally fairly lonesome journey of being a writer. I live by the sea and having this wild and wonderful mystery as a neighbour has a lot to do with influencing and inspiring my writing.
I'd also love any feedback on this novel - especially if you are a young 'un.
the mist hangs low over the highlands tonight and a slow drizzle has kept up all day.
the bracken on the brae is turning copper and brown and the oyster catchers are back by the sea.
may the wind of good words whisper to you
