A big light has just gone out. John Byrne: artist, writer, wit, auto-didact, Paisley buddy, slab boy, roller of fine roll-ups, music-lover, sharer of hairy dug stories, driest of wits, big wheezy laugher, kindest and sweetest of men, and always the best dressed guy in the room.

Thanks once again to ASL Association for Scottish Literature for inviting me to design the cover for this year's New Writing Scotland. A privilege and a pleasure as always. #Scottishpublishing
