Information

Join Shona Kinsella and RM Brown as they bring Scotland’s past vividly to life through history, folklore and imagination. In Daughters of Nicnevin, Kinsella sets witchcraft and myth against the backdrop of the 1745 Jacobite uprising, as two women summon dark forces to protect their village. In Song of the Stag, Brown’s debut follows Cait as she leaves her rural home for the capital, where her loyalties are tested as she is drawn into a growing political conflict.

In conversation with Ann Landmann, Festival Director of Cymera: Scotland’s Festival of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Writing.
