‘I always felt mad telling this story’
My mum weighed just two pounds when she was born — that’s less than a kilogram. Just for some context today the average baby weight is around 7 lb 6 oz or 3.3kg. So now a days a baby the size of my mum would end up in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). But…
I’ve pulled my book!
I’ve pulled one of my favourite books. George and the Elephant is no longer available! The decision was… well really easy… because the book had never done well. Obviously you want your books to sell — but the animus of the story never had the opportunity to flourish — which was the bit…
A huge amount of creative material sitting in ‘storage’ — doing nothing!
I’ve been writing these posts over on FaceBook but I think this one might be helpful to other folk too! Day 9 to 12 of 28 — trying to fix the problem of having a huge amount of creative material sitting in ‘storage’ — doing nothing. Have been doing lots of boring logistical stuff. *…
Wains o Dál Riata: A Sensory Reawakening of an ancient World

The Auld Yew Tree is Hewn Down
It was heartbreaking. I’m not sure why. Maybe it was because it had been there so long — hundreds and hundreds of years — maybe a thousand — maybe more. But it was gone — lying dead beside the place it had lived. Not a storm. Not the excess of years. Not disease. But a…
Can you make a difference? Even a wee bit?
Has this been worth it? To be honest I don’t know. Maybe it has, maybe it hasn’t. Have I made a difference — even a wee bit? You decide. But right through January and February I’ve written these weekly posts — eight of them so far! Through March I want to think about the future…
The love of money is the… but cash is king.
I was invited to a gathering lately — an artsy sort of thing — when I suddenly realised that I’d created more pop culture than most of the other people in the room. This was a bit of a surprise – a wild junk — to be honest! Not in an I’m better than you…
