Happy publication day to Blurred Faces! 🩵💜

‘I mean, it’s nothing really. An old face from the past.’

Two men meet on a dating app. It’s supposed to be a casual encounter between strangers. Jordan is only back in Edinburgh to visit his complicated family, and Davie is reeling from a painful breakup.

Yet Davie recognises Jordan as someone he knew long ago, when they were both closeted teenagers at the same school. Back then, Jordan was relentlessly bullied – and Davie was one of the bullies. But Jordan doesn’t remember him at all.
Against the backdrop of a city steeped in memories, Davie and Jordan find themselves drawn together again and again. A fragile intimacy blossoms between them, but can anyone ever be free of their past?

Now available in all good bookstores!
