Local Authors, Marion McGowan, Andy Saunders, Fran Brady

Marion McGowan

Marion grew up in the West of Scotland, to a family descended from miners and weavers. She splits her time between Yorkshire and the Rhins of Galloway. Marion’s book, The Priest’s Pool, is a historical novel about Wanlockhead and Carluke. Much of the research for which was done at the National Mining Museum at Newtongrange.

Andy Saunders

Over the past twelve years Andy has written four historical novels based in 20th century Mitteleuropa, none of which has been published. He continues with his writing because he finds it intrinsically such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. He has self-published a book based in Ukraine during the Russian Revolution, and another about a social worker who gets entangled with the Edinburgh underworld.

Fran Brady

Fran lives in Mid Calder. She loves reading books, walking dogs, drinking wine, playing Scrabble, and going to church (really!).

Born in Dundee, a graduate of St Andrews University, she spent years working in community/charity development. Her writing reflects her wide knowledge and deep love of her homeland, both its cities and its wild places.
