My new novel:

The Fence Aberdeen Zombie post apocalyptic military survival Novel Book

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.

Live On The Lawn 2007

Confirmed acts for Live On The Lawn 2007 were Van Morrison (29 June 2007) and the Sugababes (28 June 2007). The Sugababes gig proved so popular that an extra 1000 tickets had been made available to purchase. Originally there were 5500 tickets. Sadly their concert was cancelled because one of the singers, Amelle Berrabah, was ill.

Supporting Acts

The supporting act for the Sugababes concert was to have been the Aberdeen band Outbox but unfortunately they were unable to perform when the 2007 Live on the Lawn first night performance was cancelled. The band members of Outbox are singer Michael Macdermid from Stonehaven, drummer Steve Curtis from Mintlaw, guitarist Fionn Patrick from Glasgow and vocalist and keyboard player Rach Wood from Stonehaven. Outbox had hoped to play their first single How To Fly. The support act for the singer Van Morrison was the folk star Lou Rhodes who comes from Manchester.

Aberdeen Lynne Golden Retriever

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."
