What a lovely piece that makes me long to be by the coast! I'm looking forward to learning more about your novel as and when you share those details. In the meantime, I'll have to look into the herring boom...

Thank you Charlotte. I shall endeavour to post regular updates on the book’s progress here. Hope all is going well with your PhD proposal.

I feel like I know you, Andrew--not just from your sister but especially from reading this conversational piece. How interesting about the White House! You and Fiona had a very interesting upbringing. I look forward to both of your novels.

This post made me smile today, tbh it doesn’t matter where you born if you know a place you called home and it’s home to you Uncle Andrew that’s your belonging so I’d say you are more Scottish than American 💁🏾‍♀️😂 @Andrew Mackintosh

Delighted you still feel the pull of the East Neuk. It will always feel like home and I answer the call back of my many ancestors there with pleasing regularity.
