As this is very good news indeed:
Russel McLean's THE GOOD SON, introducing a troubled Scots PI, who is dragged into a world of lies, violence, long-held secrets, and murky criminal double-crosses while investigating an apparent suicide, to Ross Bradshaw at Five Leaves, for publication in Winter 2008/2009, by Allan Guthrie at Jenny Brown Associates.
It goes without saying that I cannot wait to read this.
Yesh! It'sh about time the mad Schcotshman got hish due.
[OK, you had to be at the Sean Connery soundalike in Madison back in '06 to get that. Russ won. Yesh, he did.]

And well done to the 'man who walks like a badger'. Well deserved.

Is that his Dances With Wolves name, Stuart?
Congratulations to the man I like to call Rusty. Less congratulations to Guthrie for leeching off his talent. Ahem.

One can never have enough Scots on the mystery scene - at least that's what I told my editor ;-)
Congrats, Russel.
