Work in progress…
GALLOWGLASS
Such is the writer’s treadmill, that I’m already working on the sequel to PILGRIM
SOUL before the latter has been published! As I’m on a yearly cycle from initial
idea through to publication, this should deliver the sequel to PILGRIM SOUL in Spring
2014.
It will be my 4th Brodie novel and will continues the adventures of my troubled investigative
reporter and his lover/ sidekick Samantha Campbell. The working title is GALLOWGLASS.
For those of you of a historical and literary bent you’ll know that the Gallowglass
[singluar and plural] was an elite Scottish mercenary force who fought alongside
Robert the Bruce and many other Celtic leaders. The Gallowglass is also referenced
in Macbeth. Somehow it seemed to sum up Brodie, as well as hinting of hangings and
Glasgow…
Oh and a key character is going to die…
I’m well into the writing of GALLOWGLASS and aim to have a first, rough draft by
July. But everything depends on how well the story starts to unfold…
More later!
