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.

Events at the Royal Deeside Braemar Highland Games include tossing the caber, putting the stone, throwing the hammer, relay races, tug of war, hill race up Morrone, children's sack race, long leap, piping, massed pipe bands and highland dancing.
In addition to Aberdeenshire and Scottish teams at the Braemar Highland Gathering there are also entrants from HM Forces and this includes the popular event the inter services tug of war championship and the services medley relay race.
The Braemar Highland Games have been run by the Braemar Royal Highland Society (BRHS) since the year 1832 and they have continued a centuries old tradition of Gatherings in Braemar. In 2002 they became the BRHG Ltd. There is more about the history of the Braemar Highland Games at the BraemarGathering website of www.braemargathering.org which includes the fondness of Queen Victoria for the Royal Deeside Braemar Highland Gathering and the support she has bestowed upon the Society over the years and how she ordered the use of the Royal title. The Braemar Gathering is Scotland's oldest Highland Gatherings and remains the most popular and largest Gathering and Highland Game.
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."
