Byres Road Book Festival 2017, Kevin Scott, Andrew Ferguson And Margot Mccuaig, Waterstones, 21 September, 2017

Thunderpoints Are Go…

Thunderpoint Publishing authors Andrew C Ferguson, Margot McCuaig and Kevin Scott get dark, menacing and surprisingly funny for this year’s Byres Road Book Festival. Join them on September 21st at Waterstones as they get to their heart of their Glaswegian and Edinburgh characters and settings. The three authors, whose novels incorporate missing coffins, dead bodies and even the Virgin Mary, will be reading for their work at an event which promises dialogue, debate and more than a little dark humour.

Kevin Scott, Andrew Ferguson And Margot Mccuaig

Andrew C Ferguson is a lawyer, writer and musician living in Fife. His debut novel, The Wrong Box, is a crime caper set in the misleadingly staid world of Edinburgh commercial property lawyers.

But first he has to stop listening to his python…

A published poet and short story writer, Ferguson currently plays in two Edinburgh-based bands, Isaac Brutal and Tribute to Venus Carmichael.
