Writing credits and publications are many and diverse. Films, Fiction & non-fiction books, poetry, chapters, articles and suchlike.  Most recent are Chapbooks called Lingerwood  and Fisherrow.

 

Written in the chapbook tradition, they have the quick, throwaway style of the genre. But they do come with a CD recording of the songs referred to and subsequently becimes an objets d'art in their own right.

​

Lingerwood and Fisherrow, are part eulogy, part reflective echoes of a real time and a real place, isn’t in any way a biographical account of a life, or a travelogue of the place, but echoes of a sense of past whilst growing up in Scotland. These echoes reached me during the difficult time of Covid  in 2020-21. The echoes themselves are imprecise and often only loosely attached to the source; it’s only a true story, maybe. You can access the records here:

This is followed by The Boat an Arts Council England sponsored book for children on the subject of ‘forced migration’ which I am extremely proud of. It's a way of engaging in a conversation on 'forced migration' with children - and it can also be seen here:
