I am a writer based in Assynt, in the north-west highlands of Scotland. My work includes poetry, fiction and non-fiction. My writing is mostly concerned with trees, bears and the sea, and I like time-travelling through fiction.
My books include:
- five collections of poetry: letting light in, Castings, A-B-Tree, Why the Sky is Far Away and Briny;
- an anthology of tree poems, Into the Forest;
- a non-fiction book, Paper Trails - from trees to trash, the true cost of paper
- five novels - The Last Bear; Bear Witness, The Walrus Mutterer, The Amber Seeker and The Lyre Dancers.
You can buy signed copies of most of these books from my online shop, or unsigned from good bookshops. Click on the images and you'll find more about the books.
I work at the University of the Highlands and Islands, teaching creative writing and literature. I also offer one-to-one mentoring and group workshops, so please get in touch if you would like help with your writing.
