Peter May

Looking straight along a railway line towards a fiery sunset

Dusk with Daftie.

So looking forward to reading this new one from @authorpetermay.bsky.social Does anyone else suffer from being so excited to start a new book by a fav author and then not want to finish it as it will be over? #favauthors #scottish #finmacleodseries #crimefiction

Back soon with new pics in the autumn!

With one of the biggest sales jumps of the week, THE BLACK LOCH, has leapt up to Nº3 in the Sunday Times paperback bestsellers list, and Nº4 in the Total Consumer Market. A huge thank you to all my loyal readers!

Bought the paperback years ago and loved it - and now I've got it on Kindle too.

I really enjoy trying to portray life in Shetland but no one does island crime like @authorpetermay.bsky.social.

Go on, treat yourself. After all, 99p doesn't even buy you a bar of chocolate these days.

Just read this, a good read, entertaining and definitely leaves you wondering...

When The Chessmen published in 2013, I was ready to leave Finn Macleod and the Isle of Lewis behind. But The Black Loch demanded to be written, and so The Lewis Trilogy became The Lewis Thrillers.

The Black Lock, the 4th instalment in The Lewis Thrillers, will be published in paperback on July 17.

Replace satire with juvenile.

This is fake news. No place for it on BlueSky.

Reform will turn the UK into a pale imitation of Trump's America. Imagine a British equivalent of ICE on our streets. No NHS. No parliamentary powers, just a nicotine-stained fascist dictator making insane decisions.

The sun dipping yellow in a golden sky of scattered cloud. Its reflection falls over the sea below a silhouette of the tiny island fort that guards the port of Saint Malo.

Dusk without Daftie. Saint Malo at the end of the day.

Great sky!

Early sun reflecting on the bay at Saint Malo.

Dawn without Daftie. I‘m at Saint Malo this weekend for the international book festival, Etonnants Voyageurs, and sadly had to leave the wee man at home.

The best yet @authorpetermay.bsky.social
I've been to Cadaqués so enjoyed going back there with Enzo. What next? Can't wait to start Freeze frame

Sun rising in a blood red sky, reflecting in the still, copper waters of the bay, framed by the silhouettes of palm trees in the foreground.

Dawn with Daftie.

Horizon of the Bay of Saint Tropez littered with the silhouettes of giant yachts.

The Gulf of Saint Tropez - a parking lot for boats of the rich and famous!

Line of red light burgeoning along the horizon, light reflecting in the still of the bay, pink-tinged contrails crossing the blue sky above.

Today’s dawn with Daftie: 05.54.

Well, you and I are the same age, and it’s only natural to be more conscious of the end as it draws closer. I’ve just completed an album of new songs on that very theme. It’s called “Towards the Light”.

Stormy dark cloud over the bay, with rays of dawn sunshine breaking through.

Another day, another dawn with Daftie.

Brilliant again @authorpetermay.bsky.social The 'who's trying to kill Enzo' plot thickens. 🤔

A lone sailing boat at anchor in an empty sea, it’s mast reflecting sharply against the calm surface of the water.

Lone boat.

My dad (left) and his best friend, immediately pre war. Unbeknownst to either of them, each was later sent to serve in India, and in an extraordinary coincidence met by chance in a hotel restaurant in Bombay.

Streaks of red and yellow across a broken sky reflecting in the still waters of the Gulf

Dawn With Daftie.

Peter May, auteur de “La Trilogie écossaise” : “J’imagine des intrigues de polars, mais j’écris avant tout sur les gens” S’il vit en France depuis vingt ans, c’est dans son Écosse natale que l’auteur de romans noirs Peter May situe ses meilleures enquêtes.
