Glasgow, 1972.
Michael Mitchell is ambitious, talented and determined to succeed.
But he learns the hard way that he will never achieve his goals in
life – unless he plays by a different set of rules.
He partners with
a small-time crook to help the Glasgow underworld launder the
proceeds of their crimes. As the operation grows, Michael is forced
to become more and more ruthless to protect what he has built.
Shocked by who he
has become, he vows to leave the criminal world behind and start a
new life. But the past has a way of catching up. Finally, he gambles
everything on one last desperate attempt to break free.
I
was placed third in the 2015 Lightship Prize for first-time authors,
won a 2016 Wishing Shelf Award Red Ribbon, been shortlisted at the UK
Festival of Writing for Best First Chapter, longlisted in the 2017 UK
Novel Writing Competition.
In
2017, I was one of twelve authors selected for Authors in the
Spotlight at the Bloody Scotland book festival in Stirling,
showcasing who they considered to be the best emerging talent in
crime fiction, and was the only self-published author to be chosen. I
have spoken at numerous other book events, including Blackwells'
Writers at the Fringe at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe; a stand-alone
slot at the Byres Road Book Festival in Glasgow, and the Aye Write!
Book Festival, also in Glasgow.
I went to Glasgow
University in 1975 and lived in the city’s West End, the time and
place for the setting of the majority of Silent Money.
