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 Raemoir House Hotel Banchory
The hoteliers and owners of the Raemoir House Hotel are David and Verity Webster who purchased the building in 2006. Since then the hotel has undergone a six figure upgrade which has increased visitors and guests to the hotel and seen a 34% increase in revenue. This promising beginning has been accomplished by hosting a series of prestigious musical events featuring world famous musicians, initiating an extensive hotel refurbishment and new staff appointments.
Read about such concerts.
David Webster commented:
“We had already made a success of the four star Castleton House Hotel near Glamis and we were ready for our next project. We heard there was an opportunity at Raemoir House Hotel and we couldn’t resist. We took over Raemoir on Valentines Day this year and haven’t looked back. It was a much bigger project than Castleton and although it’s been hard work, we are enjoying every minute.”
Since the new ownership, the 16th Century 4 star hotel and restaurant has hosted its first Midsummer Prom, featuring the internationally acclaimed Maestro Iain Sutherland, and has undergone a six-figure upgrade, including bedroom refurbishments, the entire re-carpeting of the ground floor and alterations to the hotel’s 2 AA rosette restaurant. The restaurant, which is under the direction of accomplished Head Chef Grant Walker, is now housed in what was originally the hotel’s drawing room, allowing guests to appreciate the hotel’s stunning parkland views. Verity commented:
“As much as attracting visitors from further afield, Raemoir is primarily a welcoming hotel and restaurant for the local community to enjoy as well. We are thrilled with the results.”
In the new drawing room, recent features include antique portraits of owner Verity Webster’s family dating back to 1760 and the late Andy Stewart’s elegant Broadwood cottage grand piano. Having also recently purchased the lease for shooting, the hotel can now offer 80-100 bird days in the grounds directly beside the hotel itself. David is a qualified BASC sporting shotgun coach and therefore can advise on matters of gun fit and shooting technique. David and Peter Ferguson (Raemoir’s Hotel Manager) have worked together in other top sporting country house hotels, specifically Sunlaws for the Duke of Roxburgh.
The hotel plans to host a number of musical events again this year and can now announce the return of the Scottish Festival Orchestra on Saturday 9th June 2007.
Award winning hoteliers, David and Verity Webster are not only the proprietors of the Raemoir House Hotel in Banchory but also the prestigious Castleton House Hotel in Angus. Read more at their website at castletonglamis.co.uk which are both four star hotels.
David Webster's hotel career has spanned management positions in Claridge's, Turnberry Hotel and Golf Courses, Blakes Hotel. Sunlaws House Hotel and Golf Course and more recently he has worked aboard the prestigious Royal Scotsman train.
Verity Webster trained in nursing until a change in career and moved on to gain management and interiors design skills from her time at Whytock and Reid which has been invaluable since the purchase of Castleton House Hotel six years ago.
