While at the stunning Ardtornish Estate working on my third novel, I wrote a memoir piece as the commission for the award. Such personal writing is new to me, but it felt as if the landscape and solitude was drawing this piece out. Sometimes it’s best to write what’s in the heart.
Bookbrunch are publishing an extract, and the whole piece can be found on the Scottish Book Trust website:
