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.

Unfortunately the Giant Ferris Wheel Castlegate Aberdeen was delayed in Nov 09 when workers found gas pipes and the site had to be moved. This meant that the company had to reapply for planning permission and the wheel would not be ready for Christmas or New Year.
The height of this observation wheel will be about 130ft, as tall as the nearby Citadel building, and this top tourist attraction for Aberdeen will afford breathtaking 360 degree views the city and out to sea.
The giant ferris wheel at the Castlegate in Aberdeen will be located by the Mercat Cross and will hold 30 glass pods, much like similar great wheels throughout the UK which are also known as observation wheels. The other giant wheels can be found in England at London, Manchester, Sheffield, Weston-super-Mare and Windsor. In Ireland there is a giant wheel in Belfast. There are no other giant ferris wheels in Scotland. Overseas observation wheels include Beijing, Berlin, Orlando and Singapore.
Aboutaberdeen will review the giant ferris wheel at the Castlegate in Aberdeen when it opens and add photographs, details of the admission price, how to book tickets online and other information such as disabled access, how many people each pod or gondola holds (thought to be 8), the time of the trip round the wheel, etc.
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."
