About the Book

Iain Lang goes on a walking and photographing holiday to his beloved Scotland. Finding a preserved peat body he is drawn into the world of the hunter-gatherer, Ulfric, who after a long 'hunt' persuing an unknown visitor in the dark finds himself drawn towards his greatest fears and encounters a spirit who sends him to the heavens. Re-born as Ruaraidh, in the lands of Glenelg, he travels to the great cattle tryst at Crieff where, despite it being a cattle market it seems - to a young drover accompanying him - to be hell itself. Ruaraidh hires himself out to the Yorkshire cattle dealer, George Dun, who purchases his herd and travels to Northallerton. On his return trip, and having found himself inexorably drawn to a special and ancient little shieling in a remote Glen, he arrives by Loch Lyon where he despoils an ancient Pagan shrine and encounters the wrath of the great Creatrix and blue faced old hag, Cailleach Bheur, protector of All Hallows. Iain, now back to 'reality' and home after his 'trip', finds his computer infected with a distorted photograph of a blue mountain gentian and one of his friends has begun acting very strangel
About the Author: Born in 1945, Newcastle Upon Tyne, James was the son of a Scottish mother from Gourock and a father who was a famous naturalist and painter. His final accolade was to produce two major limited edition, illustrated books for the Queen and The Queen Mother. Dissatisfied with the direction of his career James emigrated to Australia returning in December, 1972 with a new objective in mind, and in the spring of the following year he set up his first fine art gallery specialising in 19th. and early 20th. century paintings. Still with wife Stella, and now some thirty eight years on, James is now semi-retired but completely involved in the vocation and a continually, worldwide, expanding website. (www.jamesalder.co.uk). Many a word has been written in the course of gallery life but this short story is a first excursion into the literary world born of a love of Scotland and the many mysterious tales that abound. From an early Authonomy review - "James, Been meaning to take a look at 'On the Edge of a Dark Sky' (amazing title btw) for a while now. Sorry it's taken so long. I really enjoyed your writing style. It's vivid and full of life. Really delightful to take in, you use rich descriptive words that I found simply absorbing. The plot is just as great, it is clearly delivered and seamless to follow. Some long running sentences but nothing big enough to take away from the quality of your story. All in all, your descriptions are beautiful making me feel as though I'm there. Impressed ! Highly starred, thank you for a great read."
