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.

Sponsored by Aberdeen Standard Investments, the Aberdeen Boat Race is now in its 23rd year and is often hailed as the Scottish equivalent to the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.
Last year’s race saw the University of Aberdeen triumph in a time of 7 minutes 3.4 seconds, winning by four lengths and ending Robert Gordon University’s five-year winning streak. The University of Aberdeen also claimed the titles in the accompanying alumni and second crew races, marking the first ever clean sweep in the event’s history.
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."

An army veteran moves his family back to his Aberdeenshire home, but his nightmare neighbour starts a battle of wits with him. Who will win this One Last War?

The title race begins at 1.30pm, and spectators are encouraged to line the banks of the river and cheer on the teams as they battle it out for the coveted trophy.

This is followed by the second crew race at 12:05pm, the alumni race at 12:25pm, and the media challenge at 1:10pm, which will see local media outlets battle it out on the water for ultimate bragging rights. The Aberdeen Boat Race then takes place at 1:30pm.
