Author, Inspector Rebus (and other stuff). Edinburgh-based. More usually pub-based.
The Falls is my book that involves the chapel. Though the fact that the chapel was owned by a cop was too fantastical to be included!

The Lyceum did a stage version some years back; it mostly worked. One big stumbling block: who is Gil-Martin and how do you represent him/it.

Me and a screenwriter spent months on various iterations of scripts, including one set in contemporary times. Ended up with something we liked but producer couldn’t summon up funders. Then it emerged he owned rights to said script so that was that.

Thin’s? Really? Thought they’d gone out of business before I ever did an Edinburgh signing!

A great and underrated album. I want to know how the mystery ends…

I had the same issue - but we still use cheques (just about) here!

I think I’ve managed it all by myself. But now wondering how big a cut the lawyers etc will take…
