| Introduction | I have been writing, on and off, for a lot of years, but The Great Project is my first novel - should I say novels - and not the last. It has been a long time coming, as long as the Great Project itself. See my website at www.greatproject.co.uk I'm 58 and I work full time, in Further Education, but I have worked in and taught journalism. I trained with D.C. Thomson in Dundee, and wrote freelance articles for the Glasgow Herald, in one of my past lives. And I was a restaurateur in another. Fiction has come harder, but now the dam has burst there's no stopping it. The Great Project has been two years in the writing, though the idea itself began much further back. Writing a small novella for a close friend triggered something and made me take out the acorn of The Great Project and water it with a will. And how it has grown! Two novels, 300,000 words in total. Edinburgh re-imagined, in a time that is the past seen through a distorting mirror, but hopefully with the essential truths intact. There's more to come. This Edinburgh is a dark city, and there are more tales to tell of it. Another book is in the making already. |
