Above, Below & Beyond

Uncategorized

Above the snow folk slid, children laughed and played and A&E filled up with walking wounded.

On Sunday the snow began to melt.

Below the snow, hidden from sight, aconites and snowdrops awaited their moment; robins and bluetits looked on, saying nothing.

Monday arrived with the sound of birds cascading through the quiet streets and gardens and bankings burst forth their hidden joys.

Surely, it must be Spring.

Before graduating in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh in 1995, I worked as a master joiner/carpenter. Following graduation from university, I studied for a post-graduate diploma in Community Education and worked as a literacy tutor in Community Learning and Development. I have gained education awards and published an academic paper on the use of Scots language in family literacy work. I have produced teachers' notes for the Scottish Book Trust. My first work of fiction, Justified Sinner, was completed in 2016. Since then I have published three more novels in the JP Associate series.
