In which the Author writes several more books…

 

When not sipping champagne cocktails with my showbiz chums and lazing round in a sun-kissed paradise – which, as we all know, is how writers habitually spend their time – the odd bit of work gets done here and there.

 

The Poltergeist Over Scotland book is with the publishers, and will be out before the end of the year. As the first ever history of Scottish poltergeists, featuring 134 cases over 400 years, it was a revelation to write.

 

Meanwhile, Bloody History of Scotland: Edinburgh, a sanguinary voyage through a thousand years of Edinburgh battles, bodysnatching and bloodletting, will be published by The History Press in October. And The Little Book of Edinburgh, a companion to last year’s The Little Book of Glasgow, is underway, for a 2013 publication date. Other 2013 books are in the pipeline, awaiting the official announcement from the various publishers.

 

Also on the blocks is my first work exclusively for the ebook market. What is a Poltergeist? – Understanding Poltergeist Activity will be published by David & Charles/F&W Media International in December 2012. Featuring polt cases from America, Canada, the UK, Europe, Brazil, Asia and Australia, this will set out to challenge many set notions about poltergeists. It’s certainly challenging my ideas on the subject. Watch this space…

 

And now, where’s that pool boy with my Sundowner…?
