The book opens with Dave Stuart, an undercover CIA Agent in Scotland, sent to investigate Cybernats; who they are, and what bearing they may have regarding US interests, especially if Scotland becomes an independent country. Simon Parker is a disturbed young man who has started off by murdering a young female student, and as the novel progresses, his madness becomes more apparent. He sees the poet Tennyson in periods of stress, and interprets pieces of verse as instructions. He is also convinced Dave Stuart is an alien on earth. He commits more murders as the book progresses.
It is not all horror and political intrigue; there is some humour in there also!
I am a Scottish writer, novels and short stories, some poetry sometimes, but certainly concentrating on novels at the moment.
I started writing in my teens, poetry and lyrics, was briefly in a band, wrote some songs, developed prose and wrote numerous short stories and a few novels. Somewhere along the way though, the writing was left behind.
Move on, twenty-odd years, to the latter part of my fourth decade on the planet, and the creative impulse has returned. This website then, and my publications, are my panacea for a lengthy bout of writing procrastination. I am writing new and exciting stuff also. It gives me a buzz to do so. It is great to be back in the fray again!
Stevie Mach is my pen name, or nom-de-plume, an abridged version of my real name, Stevie McConnachie. In my normal everyday life, I am a graphic designer, writer and blogger, I live and work in central Scotland, and muddle along, much as most people do.
