Some pics of Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian. Neither The Holy Grail or Tom Hanks were available for the shoot that day.

How not to publish your sequel: a thread 🧵 1. Pay for a book cover before you’ve finished your final edit. 2. Lose your designer to the void. 3. Forget you even need a page count for the spine. Guess who did all three? 😂👇 martinwhiteauthor.com/uncategorize...

One week in after the release of Accent Reds and I’m well chuffed to say I already have a bunch of five star reviews in on Amazon already! Here are a few quotes: #accentreds #clubmedusa #thefearaesthetic #horrorfam #bookstagram

Two pubs which appear in the new book, Accent Reds, which was released last week. The Aviary, in Dublin - which in reality was demolished in the 1960s - and Whistlebinkies in Edinburgh - which is still alive, well, and putting on top live bands most nights of the week! #clubmedusa #accentreds

I have a new book out on 17th June, a sequel to my book, Club Medusa. If you like contemporary gothic horror thrillers, late night clubs, some obscure edinburgh buildings and a certain terrifying painting in the Louvre - then Club Med ties all those things together - AR takes it all even further.

This Edinburgh pub used to be called The Bank Bar - but I’m so Jurassic I can remember the actual bank! 🤣🤣

Heading into town tomorrow to get some shots for a book trailer. It’s a scary book though so this one is far too pretty…

Another pic of Old St Andrews Kirk in North Berwick. I think that was the last proper sunlight we saw this this week…🤣

This mornings excellent reading material. I think it’s safe to say if I’d lived in Scotland in the 17th century, I wouldn’t have lasted long…

Big day coming for me on 16th June - second book hits the shops. And then of course it’s the race to get the third one edited, polished up and released out into the wild to join them! #clubmedusa #accentreds #writingcommunity #authors #secondbook #marketinginducedheadaches

Took this a couple of months ago - caught a blanket of mist behind the trees but in front of the Hopetoun monument in Haddington.
