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.

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."

The abbreviation HMV means His Master's Voice and originated in 1899. HMV was a famous record label prior to becoming one of the UK’s leading music and home entertainment retailers. Their corporate image and trademark was of a white fox terrier dog called Nipper listening through the ear of a wind up gramophone. It was from a painting by English artist Francis Barraud which was titled His Master's Voice. It was bought from the artist in 1899 by the newly-formed Gramophone Company. The dog belonged to his brother and Francis Barraud cared for Nipper when his brother, Mark, died. He also inherited a cylinder phonograph and recordings of his brother’s voice. Nipper would listen intently down the trumpet to his former master’s voice when these recordings were played. This gave Francis Barraud the idea for his canvas painting. The Gramophone Company (the earlier name for HMV) purchased the copyright of the painting on the condition that the artist change the disc machine to one of their gramophone models. The image was first used in 1900.
On the 1 April 2007 HMV announced that Nipper would be replaced by Gromit the Wallace and Gromit plasticine cartoon character by animator Nick Park. Gromit would be pictured on the HMV Logo next to the gramophone for three months to promote the HMV Children's range. The press release for this news story went out on April Fool's Day.
The Gramophone Company opened the first UK shop in London in 1921 and was called HMV. The Gramophone Company eventually became EMI and also owned RCA and then the UK chain of music shops became known as HMV as did the chains in Ireland, Canada, Australia, and Japan.
The company bought the Ottakers book chain which then became the Waterstone's chain of bookshops and then merged them with Dillons. In 2002 it floated on the London Stock Exchange as HMV Group plc, leaving EMI with only a token holding.
There are now over 400 HMV stores worldwide.
The HMV company operates around 200 stores in key shopping locations nationwide, such as Oxford Street in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton, Newcastle, Horsham, Cardiff, Dublin and Belfast. Other HMV Scottish branches include Glasgow at Argylle Street,
The HMV Group has stores in Canada, Hong Kong and Canada.
Job vacancies for HMV Aberdeen are advertised locally in the Evening Express and Press and Journal papers and also the local job centre. There are work opportunities at Christmas for seasonal staff. HMV look for employees who love and have a great knowledge of music, films and entertainment.
