Thanks for dropping by. You can see a video interview about my crime writing here.

Corruption, Crime & Establishment Mischief

A vengeance trail of murder and mayhem has few acceptable alternatives. Writing is one of them.

Sad to say, the pursuit of evil people may end in tragedy for both sides of an investigation. Sometimes tears trickle down my cheeks, as I write. You see, my writing world is real to me.

Crime fiction provides a means of pursuing nasty people with satisfying, imaginative robustness. My thrillers offer a sense of recourse against corrupt people and cadres who screw us and steal our money. Even in this time of CoVid19 the rip-off goes on, at least as far as I’m concerned.

Pay back?

Even though such people hurt me in the past, I wish them no harm. In fact I’m grateful to such deceivers for providing, as they do, the basis of The Angels’ Share series. It’s good to have a solid foundation for fiction: rooted in grievance and amplified by a surging (if somewhat graphic) imagination.

Personal

I love family, cooking, good company, banter, sport, fun and an ~~more than~~ occasional drop of ‘The Cratur’. I live in the beautiful East Neuk of Fife, Scotland.

Prose, poetry

Writing is part of me. It took me many years to admit I’m a poet. Could it be a man thing? I have just had a video poetry reading included at the

There are many blogs … can I be that old? We’ll be sorting them out on our new site, MacLogan.online. You can buy eBooks and paperbacks from the site. 20% of net profits go to our local community.

The ‘dry’ stuff

With many articles published, often on business, and the human side of work, I tired of the dry-stuff. My muse hauled me into writing fiction and poetry.

As an author who aims to entertain, I’m eager for feedback. Your views on any aspect of my work are important to me. Keep in touch.
