Biggar Library are delighted to have Chris join them for his genre defying tour of contemporary Scottish literature and not least his own body of work. Chris’s own work over 25 years encompasses fiction, biography, crime, radio drama, adaptations and musical libretti. And, of course his plays, the latest of which "The Cause of Thunder” came to Biggar earlier this year as part of a 31 date Scottish tour.

Chris talks about the different processes required for these forms. He’s also a songwriter – composing a song for each new book. But if you ask him very nicely he’ll put down the guitar.

A varied evening of Who’s Who and How It’s Done in Scottish letters and drama.
