A year ago today we published this much lauded collection of poetry by @bobbygant.bsky.social

A Decade Of Drinking with Ghosts was released to some hefty praise and continues to delight.

Complex, humane and melancholic- Wendy Erskine

It’s about time we had a feel-good story.

Bootleg Karma is a dark comedy novel about a once Oscar-nominated Glaswegian actor faking his death to live again in LA and taking revenge on a scumbag Hollywood producer and others on his ever-expanding list. From Razur Cuts Books:

Rutherglen Library never takes liberties, only its patrons. 😃

My book has been on loan more than on the shelf in this library, more than any other, as far as I can see.

This makes this writer happy.

Libraries are important.

Use them, or lose them.

Thank you very much, Mark! I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks very much for the lovely words, Peter. I’m glad you enjoyed it. That means a lot.

Well worth a read: a Nivenesque satirical romp through the Hollywood sold, seldom realised, American dream, as viewed through the lens of a drug addled, downtrodden Glaswegian thespian with imposter syndrome with an ever inventive propensity for murder.

My novel Bootleg Karma is a dark comedy about a once Oscar-nominated actor who fakes his death to turn his life around, joins some shite called Twitter and kills time by getting revenge. Published by Razur Cuts Books @razurcutsmag.bsky.so

Gaza is Still Burning While news headlines are increasingly dominated by the nuclear face-off between Israel, Iran, and the US, life remains hellish for displaced families clinging on to the edge of the Gaza City shoreline...

About 300,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from northern Gaza, and approximately 1,000 housing units have been destroyed since the latest escalation began

2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, due to ongoing displacement, war, and the restriction of humanitarian aid

If you are proud of this great Veteran

Brian Wilson in the aisle of his health food shop. He’s in pyjamas, adidas and a striped dressing gown that’s loosely tied.

1960s songwriters in their dressing gowns. A mini thread of dudes abiding.

Also, because I think dressing gowns are underappreciated.

This bridge features in my novel, Liberties, as it appears now and the time when the story is set, 1998. It was only more recently that I learned that a veritable Bavarian castle overlooked it until its demolition four years prior to my birth. Glasgow’s disdained cultural reverence knows no bounds.
