In the first part of the story we meet Rebecca who, we quickly discover, has decided to run away from some pretty heavy personal and political trauma, with unforeseen consequences… To entice you all to take advantage of this great deal, today I thought I’d give you a preview of chapter one. We had an absolute ball filming this in Fife, Scotland.Įthersay is still on sale for 99p/99c for Kindle until the end of May. I worked with the very talented Stewart Kerr Brown of The Imagination Engine to create this film, which stars Jodi Findlay. If I had to describe it in one sentence, I’d say that ultimately it’s about a young woman having to face up to her past and its consequences.Įthersay is also my only novel to have a book trailer. On one level it is about political activism, but that really isn’t the whole story – it’s also a mystery, with some strange twists and turns, and with plenty of suspense. Of all my books, Ethersay is probably the hardest to describe or place in any sort of category. After a lot of thought, I decided to set part of the narrative during the independence referendum here in Scotland in 2014 – a momentous, exciting time which provided my protagonist with just the right amount of upheaval and drama to propel her story along. This, it turned out, was the seed of an idea which became Ethersay. In 2016, around the time I was finishing A Woman Named Sellers, I had a really strange dream about a woman waking up on a beach with no recollection of what happened or how she got there.
