76: @authorpetermay.bsky.social A Winter Grace a thrilling blend of science fiction and police procedural set against the backdrop of climate change that destabilized Scotland in 2050 and that also involves a brutal murder and government corruption. A fantastic read. #booksky

Sooooooooooooo excited to see this! Hoping @authorpetermay.bsky.social will continue to drop hints here as well! #BookSky 📚💙

Text above 4 pictures of various Scottish Isles;
I know that I indicated strongly that "The Black Loch" would be my last book. But I also said, never say never. So there's going to be just one more. And here are some visual clues to a location very similar to the imaginary one in "Island of the Dead".

High Court rules previous laws and regulations allowing gene-edited products into the food supply without labelling are unlawful and irrational. A Huge thanks to Beyond GM, for fighting for this judicial review and congratulations on the successful outcome.

Just finished reading another excellent book by @authorpetermay.bsky.social, I'll Keep You Safe (aka, The Further Adventures of Detective Sargent George Gunn). A great thriller, and a compelling travel advertisement for the Outer Hebrides Islands of Scotland.

"Le braconnier du lac perdu" de @authorpetermay.bsky.social chez Actes Sud J'aime beaucoup cette trilogie qui m'emporte à chaque fois sur cette île de Lewis, balayée par les vents, aux paysages de lande et de tourbe. L'ambiance est lourde, souvent pesante et en même temps très chaleureuse.

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I spent my day binge-reading Peter May's murder mystery VIRTUALLY DEAD (www.amazon.com/Virtually-De...). The premise is a crime-scene investigator discovers links to real-life murders in the virtual world of #SecondLife. I truly enjoyed this one, and couldn't put it down. …

I think "Revere" did actually exists, though "Quick Thinker's" home never did. I believe the swingers club might have existed at one time. I think I went there to investigate an infidelity case.

I think I might have invented Poison Island, though the other two were definitely real. The "asian'styled" home was one that I had built.

Glad you enjoyed the book, Steve. I spent a couple of years in SL running my detective agency, The Flick Faulds Detective Agency, to research the story. Met lots of extraordinary individuals. Most of the locations used in the book existed at the time, though I know many are gone now.

3) In a changing and turbulent world, we need more journalism, not less. I would appeal to Scottish Television to think again. You, too, can make your voice heard, by signing this online petition urging the company to reconsider. c.org/kwYmGnz2C5

2) The journalists covering this area have been involved in various campaigns at the heart of these communities over the years and doing away with in situ coverage will mean issues that affect people in these parts will be less heard.

1) Scottish Television are proposing to shut down their “STV North” programme - which covers anywhere north of Perth, the Highlands and Islands, Moray and Aberdeen. Basically half the country, where news has been delivered for sixty years with a very separate and strong local identity.
