The March edition of ‘Scottish Islands Explorer’ features the islands of Rona and Raasay three times, among lots of other interesting features. See page 6 for a brief review of ‘No Safe Anchorage’. If you read that it will give you the answer to clue 27 Across on the crossword on page 49.
Since the launch of ‘No Safe Anchorage’ I’ve been travelling around Skye and further afield to Inverness, talking to all sorts of different groups and selling copies of the book. I’ve also been a travelling bookseller, taking books, not only to bookshops but to Skye’s Gaelic College, craft shops, post Offices, galleries and petrol stations. My journeys were mostly by car but I also took the ferry over to the island of Raasay, close to Rona where the story begins.

My second book, ‘No Safe Anchorage’ is coming out in October. Here is a preview of the cover. I’m very pleased with this dramatic image. As a seascape it’s different from the cover of my first book but both pictures are brooding and atmospheric.
This magazine will be available soon. It will feature articles about
creative people, involved in Design, Art,Craft and Literature who live and work on the Isle of Skye.
