June 2008

It's changeover time for the Cairneys. Our lovely Auckland home has sold and I am bound for Glasgow to take part in the inaugural Milngavie Arts Fair and then the Aberdour Festival. I am delivering a finished painting to a friend in Edinburgh and will then begin another one for a friend in Hamilton. Meantime, my novel "Flashback Forward" is with the Random House editor and my latest opus "Stage Whispers, Acting Deconstructed" for Luath Press in Edinburgh is completed to first draft. I haven't had time to get excited about everything yet, but no doubt I will when I arrive back in 'my ain countree' and can begin to get ready for Burns Year 2009.
