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 first Free at the Dee concert was in 2002. It is a bi-annual event to mark the start of Aberdeen's Offshore Europe Oil Week. Previous acts have included Hear'Say, Gareth Gates, Liberty X, Darius, The Sugababes and Girls Aloud. There were about 45,000 people in the audience.
The 2003 starred David Sneddon, Lisa Scott-Lee, The Longfirm, The Storm Petrels, Hue and Cry and Doctor and the Medics.
There was no gig in 2004.
The 3rd Northsound Radio Free at the Dee open air concert at Duthie Park, Aberdeen took place on the 4th September 2005. The free evening event started with top act Tyler James at 7pm. Local Aberdeenshire bands also played from about 12:45 pm. Approximately 55,000 people attended.
Other acts in the gig included Charlotte Church, Belinda Carlisle, Rachel Stevens (formerly of S-Club 7), Lee Ryan (former Blue member), El Presidente, former Busted star James Bourne, Girls Said No, 3style, Amber, Chocolate Monday, Estrella, Flo, Fleet, Love Bites, The Noise Next Door, Samantha Seth, Sandi Thom, Son of Dork, Storm Petrels, Streetside, The Billy Shears Band, Nerina Pallot and Rowetta from X Factor.
McFly were to appear, but had to pull out because they are recording a charity single with Roger Daltry, frontman of The Who.
There will be no free at the Dee concert in 2006. The next gig will be in 2007. We will have more details soon but it looks like the free Northsound radio concert for 2007 will be held at the Hazlehead Park. Read more at Hazlehead Park Concert.
