The dying embers of a setting sun
Takes its place,
The disappearing voice
Of bairns ending fun
Stored until another day
When the rising orb declares the time,
Is yours, and maybe even mine,
If I’ve got my timing right
When day cometh out of night.
Sunset

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. View all posts by Alan Addison
