This is amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩 I’m thrilled that The Dying Light has been longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for the “Scottish crime book of the year”!! Read that again!! 🤯🤯 Absolute madness - look at the names on that list! I’m incredibly honoured to be among them!!
I was quite worried my run of award nominations might be over after Dark Island did so well, but here we go again!! Huge, huge thanks to everyone at @bloodyscotland . I’ll be milking this till the shortlist is announced 🤣
It was a huge shock and an absolute honour to have made this longlist. Whatever happens in two weeks’ time, I’m just so proud I got to see my little book sitting in this pile 😊🙌📚🏴

Dropped some books off at one of the most awesome places in #Orkney the other day if anyone fancies a read 🤩📚
Betty’s Reading Room down by Tingwall pier is an absolute haven for readers, a whole little building filled with books just open for anyone who needs a place to sit a while and escape. Such a lovely tribute to the lady it’s named after too - there’s a book telling the story of Betty and how the reading room came to be. Next time you’re up here, definitely stop by 🙌
(Also, I didn’t leave the bookmark, that was already there 😱)

Sunday in Westray. No puffins, so had to settle for glorious weather, stunning beaches, cool castles, and tasty coffee and cake. Gutted 😎☀️🌊🏰☕️🍰

I’m finally getting back to some reading after a busy few months and I absolutely had to start with this! 🙌🤩
I remember Callum telling me about his plans for this book at @bloodyscotland a couple of years back. It sounded awesome then, and the finished product is even better. This guy could write a shopping list and make it entertaining! Funny, dark, and full of f**ked up characters, this is a fitting farewell to Ally McCoist. I’m sad to see her go, but I’ll absolutely be reading whatever Callum writes next. Even if it’s just a shopping list 🐀🏃
#RatRace is out next week!!! Pre-order now 🥳🙌📚
