Thanks to people who have helped...
Linda in Edinburgh with Bill Marshall,
website designer and Renaissance man
Thanks must go to Bill Marshall (www.spiderwriting.co.uk) who designed this website and was a great pleasure to work with. Amongst his many skills Bill numbers mind-reading, so he was able to come up with a website that complied exactly with my vague but ambitious specifications.
Bill is well-known in the book world as the designer of the legendary Dorothy Dunnett website (www.dorothydunnett.co.uk). He also designed a website for another Scots author, Theresa Breslin (www.theresabreslin.co.uk).
Adam Burton, award-winning landscape
photographer
Thanks must also go to photographer Adam Burton, for his haunting cover image for EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY (actually taken on Rannoch Moor on the Scottish mainland) which I'm sure had a lot to do with the success of the book. People always mention "the lovely cover" when they talk about EG.
I would also like to thank Adam for his superb photos which appear on the Home page and elsewhere on the site. I've been looking at photos of the Highlands and islands for more years than I care to remember and Adam's are the best and most atmospheric I've seen. Transita directed me to his website to choose a cover image for EG and that solitary tree (as mentioned in the Epilogue) selected itself.
If you can't get to the Highlands then visiting Adam's website is a good substitute.
He sells prints, greetings cards and a calendar.

Adam is pictured with one of his prize-winning photographs, taken at Elgol, my favourite place on Skye.

bevy of BookCrossers
Here seems to be an appropriate place to thank my many BookCrossing fans for their reviews, unstinting support and friendship. BookCrossers in the UK, led by Birmingham's Liz Broomfield, have taken a shine to Transita books (mine in particular) and with their characteristic enthusiasm, they are spreading the word all over the world. Thanks, folks!

News...... EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY was voted into the Top Ten Reads of 2006 by BCUK, the UK chapter of BookCrossing. EG tied in 4th place.
