But n' Ben Books here I come!

Hello!

This coming Saturday, 8th November 2025, I'll be doing something I've not technically done for years and I'm very much looking forward to it!

Bookshop owner Jane and I
during a visit in summer 2025 

Butn'Ben Books is a very small independent bookshop in the town of Stonehaven, Scotland. Stonehaven is around 15 miles south of Aberdeen and it's a vibrant community with lots to offer residents and visitors all year round. The history is second to none and the attractions are varied. There are a lot of small independent stores around the centre of town, the new bookshop being one of them. 

I've been invited to do a 'Meet The Author' which will entail me sitting at a table near the entrance between 2- 4pm. I talk all the time to potential readers at my regular Craft Fair venues about my books, about Roman Scotland, and various other historical themes but at those events it's not really convenient to do readings from my novels, or do Question and Answer sessions. Saturday will be a different kind of opportunity to share my work and, maybe,  my research. 

Got a question? I'll be answering as best I can!

Slainthe!
