Today’s the day – but last night was my first experience of reading my own work aloud to an audience.  The first of many first experiences I suspect.

First copies of the book safely delivered to Mallaig last night for a reading to  a National Trust for Scotland party. The books will carry on their way by boat to Canna this morning.

Now I just have to get back to Edinburgh by train in time for the Birlinn launch tonight.
