I’ve made a few changes to the layout of this site, adding some new pages, and streamlining some of the old ones. There are now pages for editing, readings and workshops, as, thanks to the help and encouragement of friends on FaceBook, I am in the process of developing a workshop which will be given for the first time at the Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum and Arts Centre in December.

Signs of the Times, the new anthology of the Burgh Poets, is now available to buy on the Books and Downloads page, and some of the older pages have been updated or rewritten.

Next week I will refresh the poems on the poetry page, and reorganise the news page, but just now I am about to get ready for the Falkirk Storytelling Festival tonight. Helen Boden, George Colkitto, Finola Scott, Ian Maxtone and Colin Will are reading as well as myself, besides fiction writers Suzanne Egerton, Kate Donne and Emma Mooney. It’s going to be a great night!
