My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Imagine the dialect of the men in the BBC documentary Trawlermen and you will have some idea of the language of this delightful book by Boddamer Gordon Morrison. The stories and poems are written in this dialect still spoken around the Grampian area.
As an example of this Boddam Doric Scot's dialect the opening chapter of Thi Lyfe An Tyme's O An Enshoar Loon begins:
"A meyn fin a wis a bairn, aboot eicht or nine years aul, en aa et a thocht aboot wis thi hairber, the boaties an thi sea. Ma her'o's was lad's lyke Aik Don, Jim Don an oney lad et owned a boatie. Ai never forgait tryen siar tae get oot fur a sail, pesteren an priggeen at em, jumpin aboord thi boaties fin thi caim ashore an helpen moor thim up an lan ther catch wither et be codlin's or partin's."
Thi Lyfe An Tyme's O An Enshoar Loon is written in Doric Scot's language and hugely entertaining with some really funny tales of fishing life in a small Scottish village. Boddam, where the author Gordon Morrison was born and still lives, is a small crab fishing village which was born out of the herring fishing industry at the Bloo Toon of Peterhead. Boddamer Gordon was born in August 1963 at Peterhead Cottage Hospital.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

In between the stories from Boddam are songs and poems such as the Boddim Sea Shaantee (Boddam Sea Shantee), Thi Boddimer's Hung Eih Munkeeo (The Boddamers Hung A Monkey) and A Boddimer Fur Me - which is sung to the Andy Stewart tune of A Gordon For Me. There is even a Doric recipe to dress a crab, which has an hilarious picture of a crab in a kilt! Other features in Thi Lyfe An Tyme's O An Enshoar Loon are a Feish Quiz (fish quiz) a list of fish names in English and translated to Boddim Doric. For example Boddamers will call a seal a Seylkee and a herring a hirren. There then follows pages of A-Z and numbers translated from Boddim Dorric to English.
Photographs are spread throughout the book and include Boddam fishing boats, Boddam Lighthouse, Nelson - the author's Collie Dog, surrounding buildings like Earl's Lodge, Den Dam boaties,
