A madcap Highland adventure about midlife crises, new friends, and second chances. Douglas Findhorn Elder is fifty years old, recently dumped and suddenly jobless. Mungo Forth Mungo is a talking toad. And as luck would have it, this toad is determined to help his hapless human chum to sort his life out... * Penguin * Joyful, warm-hearted, funny ... but buried within are serious points about the stories we tell about ourselves, how history shapes our identity, scarred landscapes and self-selecting communities. In heartsore times we need more books like this. * Guardian * Funny and fun ... To Be Continued manages to be sad and happy at the same time. You can engage with the post-modern games and references if you like, or you can just sit back and laugh, and cry.

His take on contemporary Scotland is insightful, eccentric and highly readable. * The Scotsman * To Be Continued, with its harem-scarem scenarios and surreal twists, was written to entertain. * Sunday Herald * A wildly eccentric tale laced with dry, deprecating wit * The Times *
