DEADWATER
TWO BROTHERS, ONE INHERITANCE. A CLASSIC DARK TALE OF DECEIT AND REVENGE FROM THE GRAVE.
Who would dare unlock the secret of Deadwater House?
The rumour had cast a black shadow over the village for as long as anyone could remember. Who was the ghostly child that watched from the window of the Denham-Granger family mansion? The truth would turn out to be far worse than any of the locals could ever have imagined. Whatever had been caged for so long wanted revenge and now it was hunting its prey down. Only one person stood in the way, reluctant local Policeman, Gordon Chisholme. Soon he would have to face the truth. It had already turned its attention to him, and he could feel its icy grip reaching out to make him the next victim.
Deadwater, a classic atmospheric horror story with a shockingly dark twist.

PORCELAIN
IT WAS MEANT TO BE A CAREFREE CYCLING HOLIDAY AROUND SCOTLAND. BUT THE PORCELAIN LADY WAS WATCHING HIS EVERY MOVE.
That day I set out on my bike for a week of cycling around the Borders I did not believe in ghosts. Maybe if I am being honest, I did not even believe in people anymore. For six days I charged headlong into relationships, friendships, and trouble. It was not just what was in front of me that made the journey so memorable. No matter who I met or where I ended up, she was always following in my shadow. At the time I had no idea who she was or what I had done to deserve the Porcelain lady hunting me down. I know now of course, but it is too late to save me. Guilt or reality? As the week went on, I lost the ability to know the difference. The one thing I always understood from the start was that the journey had to end with just the two of us confronting each other at long last.
Porcelain, will she never set him free?
A GHOST IN THE GLEN
SEVEN DARK MACABRE TALES SET IN SCOTLAND
This book contains seven dark tales set in the beautiful glens and countryside of my nation, Scotland. I dare you to seek out The Watcher who preys on those we love, escape to Ben Nevis as the floods close in, weep with the man who can never be free of his dead mother, and walk beside the boy who will always wonder if his first love was only a figment of his imagination.
This is Scotland, the land of ghosts.

From that point on everything will change. The past has caught up and someone wants to destroy him. Matt’s only hope is to find his alcoholic ex-lover from thirty-five years ago to see if she holds the key to his escape.

SCOTLAND SHALL BURN
SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS OF WAITING. ONE-QUARTER OF A MILLION DAYS TO DREAM OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
For seven long centuries, Luka rotted in the cave. Damned to wait in that hidden hell hole while Raso, the man who had betrayed him walked free. In the distant village, his wife grew old and passed away while his son fathered children of his own. Each generation lived and died until they too became ghosts of the past. But the unknown soldier did not forget. He counted every single bleak day, waiting for the moment when he would have his revenge.
As 1965 dawned Luka surveyed the distant village from his prison. Today would be different. After nearly seven hundred years the wait was over. The man Luka hated was back and even though others would have to die, bitter revenge would finally be his.
William Wallace was supposed to have said, ‘You can take our lives, but you can never take our freedom.’ He was lying, he needed both.
