Or available via Waterstones Also available in shops around Caithness Sutherland and Moray. "In the most stunning and lengthy story so far we find out the answer to one of the ultimate questions... Does the monster really have a mate?"
HOW IT ALL BEGAN Well it all began one cloudy day in September I met an old man who said he lived near the Loch Of Mey and was 500 years old! Of course I didn't believe him but then he began to tell me about a monster that lived here...yes here in Caithness! This is what he said to me and I've used it as a prologue to the first book. Prologue..." Somewhere in the mist and peat bogs of the lowlands beyond the Highlands lurks a myth, a mystery, a legend. A story of an ancient animal prehistoric some claim. A creature that flies alone having lost its mate in the dim distant passage of time An animal immortalised by the mysterious preserving qualities of the peat bogs themselves. As quiet as the slow rise of water in winter as invisible as a grey cloud hanging over a translucent loch, yet as vast as a swarming flock of geese in Autumn. It flies the path it's always flown some say it's still searching for its lost mate. Undercover of migrating geese it sweeps in unnoticed and unheard.Yet the familiar smells. the sounds. the large fluffy clouds, can they all be accounted for?" Before I had the chance to question the old man more he disappeared! As I looked at the grey clouds above me and the first few geese arriving for winter I wondered, in-between those geese that little space that changes shape is it alive is it moving is it a monster?
