A year since Salvage was published. Thanks to every reader & the amazing Tippermuir Books Tyne&Esk Writers Romanistan Podcast Chelsea Mac Donnchadha shado Travellers' Times Dr Lynne Tammi-Connelly🦬🦬🦬🦬. To think one bit of advice I got while writing it was: it wasn't a story anyone would want to read!

Before there was rock 'n' roll there was just #rock - the greatest #building #material in human #history. Just a few pages from Nick Aitken's #Drystone will convince you of that. 'Nick Aitken's Drystone is a magnificent delight both in its superb production and exquisite detail.'

The Perth 'Steamies' in good company in Perth Art Gallery - Tippermuir at the opening of the Millais exhibition. What an exciting & important venue the Gallery has become. One of the best things about the Museum's move was the freedom it has given the Gallery. And is it soaring!
