20 short stories in a wide range of genres: comic, thought-provoking, paranormal; many feature musical themes. Several of these stories see the return of characters from the highly successful Four Old Geezers and a Valkyrie, but these are all free-standing stories: the reader can come to the collection completely fresh.

Gordon Lawrie spent thirty-six years teaching Modern Studies in the Edinburgh area, and has written on several educational topics including citizenship, the teaching of politics, and the relationship between education and society. In an earlier part of his life, he was a mediocre pub-style folk singer, singing a mix of his own songs and covers of others.

Today he lives in Edinburgh city centre.
