Selected Writing

Six pieces that show what I write about and how I write: survival, music, love, mortality and the west coast of Scotland.

STORY

The Bridge

A man on a bridge with a guitar, a river below, and a decision to keep going.

Contains strong language and themes of mortality and violence.

COASTAL PROSE

Shore

A hotel by the water, ghosts in the hallway, music in the bar, and the road home.

POEM

Lucky One

Rock bottom, stubborn people, a hospital bed, and the beginning after the end.


More to read

The Ghost

A revenge story told in fragments. Blood on the pavement, and a man who refuses to die.

River

A man at the water’s edge, and what pulls him back.

Days

On the days we rise to meet, and the ones we don’t.
