About the Book

Nestled in a quiet Glen on the West Coast of Scotland lies the sleepy village of Kilmartin. Shrouded and encircled by the ancient Caledonian forest that once covered all of Europe; this is one of its last bastions. There are stone circles, neolithic crypts, cysts, Hill Forts and Duns spread through Kilmartin Glen. Kilmartin sleeps with the slumber of the truly ancient. The people that live there are mainly happy, comfortable and warm. They have their worries, their lost loves that they still dream of and they have their quiet little lives, yet not, is all, as it sometimes seems in this highland backwater. Not everything is sleeping, not everything is quiet, things are stirring in the silent places, the shadows, the earthy dark, near the village and are beginning to notice what is going on around them. Old love stories are being Re-Enacted, Old Shadows are regaining their forms and looking to regain life. Beneath old crypts, old gods are lifting their old heads and opening their pale, scarred eyes to stare down upon the village. From the pen of Raymond Walker, The award winning author of "The River Sprite, and "Eternal Love" comes this triumvirate of novels all set in or near the village of Kilmartin. "Kilmartin" is The gathering together of the three great Kilmartin novels in a single volume. This special omnibus includes a (very) long introduction from the author as well as as a new novella to introduce them.
About the Author: Raymond Walker Is the award winning author of Eight novels, two compendiums of short stories and two books of poetry (though they intersect somewhat). He was born in 1962 and raised in Argyll, Scotland, before moving to Edinburgh to attend university. His love of the countryside, forests, mountains and the relics of his native Scotland are reflected deeply in his writing. His tales echo the dark past and history, the unknown places and wonders of Scotland at the point where reality dips into fantasy until nothing is quite as it seems. Married for the second time He lives in Prestwick, Ayrshire with his new and beautiful wife June. Not one to be pigeon-holed his books range from Romances and Ghost stories to Historical fiction and fantasy. He is the winner of several writing competitions and his books have received critical acclaim worldwide. His new novel "The Miscast Fate" was released on the first of September this year. He is working on two new novels. "And The Sea shall give up It's Dead" a New Horror from one of the masters of the genre and "Sommerled" which is a piece of heroic fiction or historical fantasy he has not yet decided which it will be. Additionally he is working on a second volume of the critically acclaimed "A River of Tears" Which is almost complete and will be released with a new title in June 2015.
