Some pics of Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian. Neither The Holy Grail or Tom Hanks were available for the shoot that day.

This is what the sunflowers at Balgone Farm get up to at night.

Nice sunset in North Berwick last night -

A quick visit to the Penicuik estate today. Old Penicuik house looking very photogenic amongst the wildflowers -

Just some boats in Musselburgh harbour the other day

When to Hire a Book Cover Designer (and When Not To) - martin white | author “Learn when to commission a book cover (and when not to). An indie author shares the mistakes they made hiring a designer too soon — so you don’t have to.”

How not to publish your sequel: a thread 🧵
1. Pay for a book cover before you’ve finished your final edit.
2. Lose your designer to the void.
3. Forget you even need a page count for the spine.
Guess who did all three? 😂👇

One week in after the release of Accent Reds and I’m well chuffed to say I already have a bunch of five star reviews in on Amazon already! Here are a few quotes:

New blog post about things that didn’t go so well with the new book, and advice on how to avoid them yourself! martinwhiteauthor.com/uncategorize...

Two pubs which appear in the new book, Accent Reds, which was released last week. The Aviary, in Dublin - which in reality was demolished in the 1960s - and Whistlebinkies in Edinburgh - which is still alive, well, and putting on top live bands most nights of the week! #clubmedusa #accentreds

I have a new book out on 17th June, a sequel to my book, Club Medusa.

If you like contemporary gothic horror thrillers, late night clubs, some obscure edinburgh buildings and a certain terrifying painting in the Louvre - then Club Med ties all those things together - AR takes it all even further.

This Edinburgh pub used to be called The Bank Bar - but I’m so Jurassic I can remember the actual bank! 🤣🤣

Oh well, there you go - my photo came 895th out of 2585 in a photo crowd photography competition. No car or holiday prizes then..?😬🤣🤣

FREE BOOK ALERT!

Amazon are doing a free download on my first book, Club Medusa, ahead of the release of the sequel, Accent Reds, on 16th June.

Find out what happened in the labyrinth before the secret escaped…

Heading into town tomorrow to get some shots for a book trailer. It’s a scary book though so this one is far too pretty…

Another pic of Old St Andrews Kirk in North Berwick. I think that was the last proper sunlight we saw this this week…🤣

This mornings excellent reading material. I think it’s safe to say if I’d lived in Scotland in the 17th century, I wouldn’t have lasted long…

Big day coming for me on 16th June - second book hits the shops. And then of course it’s the race to get the third one edited, polished up and released out into the wild to join them!

Took this a couple of months ago - caught a blanket of mist behind the trees but in front of the Hopetoun monument in Haddington.

Some random snaps from the past few days - North Berwick Old Kirk, Andy Scott’s Horse at Edinburgh Uni, Easter Bush, a sculpture from Mount Vernon Cemetery and the road arch in Merchant Street, also Edinburgh.

That sounds truly awful!😞

Thank you! (And sorry for the very late reply😬)

Hi! Sorry for the delayed response - all sorts going on here - including having the Bluesky app on a far distant screen in my phone! 🤣

Second post on Bluesky! No idea how this goi g to shape up - but as I’m a photographer (amongst other things) - here are a few recent snaps -
