His short stories have been published in magazines such as Barcelona Ink, The New Edinburgh Review, the Collins Book of Scottish Stories, Stand magazine etc. The Scots Way to Santiago, a 2,000 kilometers trek along the pilgrim roads of Spain at a time police were hunting the thief who stole the Holy Book of St James (the first travel book) from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. According to the Holy Book, the unsavory Navarrans wore kilts and were descended from the Scots. Published in 2015, it reveals other connections between Scotland and Spain in Medieval Times. Under Dali Skies, (madder than the wind) chronicles artist Salvador Dali's life from spoiled childhood in Figueres to his glory days in New York where he degenerated into a seedy old Wizard of Was.To inject a modicum of reality (and relief) into the artist's extravagant life, the author (who lived in Dalí Land for more than a decade) — also includes some tales of village folk and the raging Tramuntana wind. Reputed because of its ferocity to drive locals mad, it shapes the character of the people on this windy coast. Scheduled to appear in May 2019. Over 70,000 words, two thirds of the text is devoted to Dalí and his doings. Scrupulously researched, it contains much new material on the Shameful Life of Salvador Dalí (from Spanish and Catalan sources) as well as on his manager, muse and wife Gala.weniger sehen
