23rd May

Nae Reston fir the wicked now

The train stops there, and how –

If the new timetable does allow.

PM says “nowt aff the table”

As sure as he is able

Tae procure relief,

Spake in words fae a forked tongue

Through laughin teeth.

AddNib’s Weather WARNING

A cannae mak heid nor tail

An ma weather guess is sure tae fail

Should A gan oan watching the BBC,

Ma forecast micht be aw at sea.

So it’s back tae ma Grandpa’s barometer

Which things oan the livinroom wa

The yin he won at the boolin

In nineteen fifty twa.

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.
