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.

About Aberdeen consider Johnston Gardens Aberdeen to be the most peaceful and beautiful of Aberdeen parks. It is the smallest at one hectare, but has lots to command your attention. It is most noted for its beautiful rockeries with alpines and heather, bedding plants, spring bulbs, rhododendrons, shrubbery and trees, hanging baskets, gentle paths and picturesque wooden bridges, waterfalls and large pond. Johnston Garden is a haven for local birds from the calm and relaxing coo coo of wood pigeons to the gently floating black headed gulls that could be seen in the photo below and range of ducks like mallard and muscovy.
This Aberdeen park has been a deserved Britain In Bloom Winner several times.
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."

Johnston Gardens Aberdeen opens from 8am until one hour prior to dusk. There is a small play area for younger children but the park is not suitable for ball games; it is truly a place to relax and enjoy the fine Aberdeen weather. There are plenty of bench seats to sit, relax and watch the scenery and birdlife. For these reasons Johnston Gardens Aberdeen is a popular place for wedding photographs, particularly the bridge over the pond.
At the rear of Johnston Gardens Aberdeen is a black granite memorial to North Sea Bond Offshore Eurocopter AS332L2 Super Puma Mk 2 helicopter G-REDL Flight 85N which crashed 11 nautical miles northeast of Peterhead with the loss of lives of 2 crew and 14 passengers from the BP oil rigs platform in the Miller oilfield. This secluded area has a quiet seating area and special flower holders.
Its purchase was funded from the Flight 85N Memorial Fund with the remaining£330,000 going to local charities that were chosen by the families who lost loved ones on the flight. They were the RNLI, CLAN, Create, Cancer Research, Alzheimer Scotland, Help for Heroes, Jump for Heroes, Alder Hey Children's Hospital, St Richards Hospice in Worcester, West Midlands Air Ambulance Service and the Oil Chaplaincy Trust. The Flight 85N memorial was erected in March 2010.
This black granite obelisk monument reads across four sides:
In remembrance of those who lost their lives on G-REDL Flight 85N on 1st April 2009. James (Jimmy) Edwards, Vernon John Elrick, Nairn J. Ferrier, Nolan Carl Goble, Gareth Wyn Hughes, First Officer Richard Anthony Menzies, Warren George Mitchell, David J Rae, Leslie (Bez) Taylor, Stuart Wood, Mihails Zuravskis, Brian Barkley, Captain Paul Burnham, James (Moose) Costello, Alex Dallas, Raymond Steele Doyle
