I was clearing out pics in an old file when I found this from way back in 1999. Glasgow's Citizen's Theatre. I was the only person on this poster I hadn't heard of.

That time, a couple of years ago today, when I watched Star Trek - The Motion Picture and noticed someone mooning at the back.
The sixth #companyofrogues #JonasFlynt #historical #thriller, A THIEF'S REVENGE, is out now in #hardback and #ebooks of all forms. If you've followed the series, this is the end. If not, why not begin with AN HONOURABLE THIEF? #books #readingforpleasure
Mickey's ready to listen to the movie music show today because it's all about animals, large & small, real & imaginary. I'll play themes from The Lost World, Watership Down, King Kong, Babe, three (count 'em) Frankensteins, Little Shop of Horrors - and others! Tune in at 4pm: southernsound.org.uk

No, this is NOT the location of all those book experts, crypto currency punters, phishers, smishers, fakers, takers and romancers. It's actually a picturesque glen. But wouldn't it be great if all those scammers were confined somewhere? We could cut off internet access and give us all peace.
This is amazing! Nessie has gone on holiday to Loch Feochan in the west coast!
On a walk today I wandered into a set for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I made a transatlantic crossing yesterday. But had to come back for coffee and scones. (Pic shows The Bridge Over the Atlantic linking the Scottish mainland with the Isle of Seil.
Tonight's viewing, a film I haven't seen for many years. Night of the Generals is at heart a murder mystery, a woman is murdered in occupied Warsaw and a witness says the killer was a Nazi general. 1/2
The final #jonasflynt #historical #thriller is out now in #ebooks and #hardback. Here's what readers have to say...
Guy Pearce seems to be drawn to bleak westerns ( The Proposition and Brimstone). Devil in the Dust is another. A supernatural western that doesn't make a lot of sense (a child has the power to kill anything she touches, and yet if anyone touches her face, arms, holds her they live).
As a fan of westerns, I caught SANCTIFIED last night on Amazon Prime. It's a thoroughly decent entry in the genre, not treading any new ground but that doesn't matter. It's a theme I love, a bad man finding redemption. The North Dakota scenery was impressive, as was the score by Will Van De Commert.
Popped into Waterstones Braehead today and scribbled on some copies Of A Thief's Revenge. Grab em while you can!
The first pic shows the final result, the second is a behind the scenes shot showing Bloody Scotland's Bob McDevitt herding a group of crime writers (A slaughter? A scribble? A Coniption?) for an official @bloodyscotland.bsky.social photograph so that photographer Paul Reich can work his magic.
Swung by Dunottar Castle on my way south from appearing in the Heart of Stone Crime Writing Festival on Stonehaven. As usual, I found one of my favourite castles ready for the photo shoot.
Each of my novels is linked to the others in some way. Find out how here: www.douglasskelton.com/worlds-withi...
The final Jonas Flynt thriller is OUT NOW in hardback (in good bookshops) and ebook. I like it (but then I would say that). But I'm not alone...
I'm fully spooked in this week's movie music (with a wee bit of telly) show today, with themes from spy movies like The Bourne Ultimatum, The Eiger Sanction, Top Secret and Man in a Suitcase. Tune in here at 4pm (Saturday): www.southernsound.org.uk
Out now! The final #jonasflynt #companyofrogues #historical #Thriller. And this time, Jonas doesn't know who to trust... In #hardback in good bookshops and #ebook from your favoured on-line platform. @canelobooks.bsky.social @belllomaxmoreton.bsky.social
Old friends. Old Enemies. But which is which? The Jonas Flynt saga ends. Blood begets blood... A THIEF'S REVENGE is published in hardback and ebook on April 30.
The complete works of some fella who has nothing better to do than sit around and make stuff up. Latterly anyway.
