I live in a small town in Scotland, with my wife Carol, Son Keith, daughter Fern and cat, Finn.
After years of making music and song writing I decided to try my hand and writing a novel. The success of my first, ‘The Search for Ethan’, led to ‘Daydreams and Devils, ‘For all is Vanity, ‘Firm, and ‘The Dirt and the Stars.

I saw a show on TV on the glory days of vinyl. In it there was a quote along the lines of "walking down the street with an album sleeve under your arm was a statement, it said everything about you." Taking that for a walk, here are my top ten "statements", starting with books.

Ask the Dust - John Fante
On the Road - Jack Kerouac
