Tonight is the launch for Jim Watters' book So Near Yet So Far. I ghosted the book for Jim, and we'll both be giving a talk - as well as giving out free glasses of wine and mince pies - at the Ratpack Piano Bar in Shandwick Place. It kicks off at 7pm, so if any Caithness folk who are in Edinburgh and at a loose end, please do come along.

Here's a piece in The Scotsman with some background on Jim and the book (below).

Cheers!

Love how the guy is on his way to Mass, yet manages to swear twice in his first two lines.

Hope you get a good turnout, anyways.

I'll be there milling around the plate of mincemeat tarts.

Brought back memories of Robert Harris's book 'The Ghost' here. Good on you Pepsi. Hope it all goes well and there's not a glass of wine or mince pie to be had when it's over. Have a great time.

Robert Harris :) Brilliant. I'll tell Jim that, Valerie; that's a great comparison.

The launch went better than expected. And nice to see the beautiful canuck there, too - always a blessing (no pun intended) to have her company.
