Books and Writings

I have two self-published books released via Amazon's Kindle platform. (Note: Amazon provide free eBook-reading software, you don't need to buy a Kindle.)


Indyref Novel
My first book is one written during the lead up to the Scottish Independence Referendum. I really wanted to call it "Thatcher, ya bitch, this YES is for you!" but thought Amazon wouldn't allow "ya bitch" in the title, so dropped that. Wish I'd kept it in now :(

It's set in a fictional town called Poorton, near Glasgow, and is in the miserablist tradition of depicting Scottish life as poor scroungers with no escape from the system - until independence activists appear on their streets, suddenly offering them hope and a way out...

See it on Amazon: Thatcher this YES is for you

If you enjoy this book, please help me by leaving a review on Amazon.


Time-travelling Prime Minister Story
My second book was published just this month (May 2015). It is about a UK Prime Minister who is elected in with a 'record count' on polling day and believe that gives him the mandate to do anything - including travelling back in time to change history in order to cling on to power. Yes, it's politics and science-fiction...

See it on Amazon: The Record Count of Westminster

Other Writings
I also provide science articles to the S.L.A.T.E. charity for their use in Russian students' translation competitions. The students select from a choice of articles from a variety of authors on a variety of topics and then translate these articles from English into Russian, with prizes for the best.

I've not yet done my 2015 science article but you can read my 2014 article about why we should spend money on space, called Space Money.
