Hello Bernard,
I will keep this short as I know you are a busy chap.
I was wondering if you would consider writing a novel based on the Border Reivers?
It is period that was anarchic, bloody, creating refugees, hardships and yet producing great ballads.
Political tensions in London finally concluded in the crushing of the marches both North and South of the border, townsfolk hung and hence emigration to Ireland and the Americas to avoid persecution.
A rich background! You are a master writer and could make this period live like no other.
McDonald “The Steel Bonnets” is a fair factual representation of the periods history…
Anyway, just a thought.
All the very best to you,
John
