Ian and Murray Featured in the Press
23rd January 2023 Congratulations to authors Ian McNeish and Dr Murray Cook, who have been featured in today's edition of the Scottish Daily Mail. An article by George Mair on page 21 of the 23 January 2023 issue spotlights efforts by the pair, as detailed in their recent book The Bannock Burn, to establish a permanent memorial to the late RAF fighter pilot Henri Delabastita, whose Spitfire crashed near the North Third reservoir in January 1943. Their research into, and involvement with, the crash site is explained in the article, and the wartime bravery of Mr Delabastita recognised in detail. The story has also been covered in The Times online at the following link: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tribute-to-belgian-spitfire-pilot-who-flew-with-the-raf-phzjl668w |

Forthcoming Robert Burns Performances from Robbie
17th January 2023 We are delighted to announce that in commemoration of the anniversary of the birth of Scotland's National Bard, Robert Burns, two special events are to be held on scenic Tayside with author Robert Murray. On Friday 20th January, a Burns evening is to take place in the Book House, Broughty Ferry. Robert Burns, played by local writer/actor Robbie Murray, will make an appearance while he edits chapters of his life story. This event starts at 7:30pm and is open to the public but with limited seating available, so booking in advance via Eventbrite is strongly recommended. Sunday 5th February, The Spirit of Robbie Burns, a play which has been performed around Angus churches in recent years and was performed in Edinburgh during last Year's Fringe, will be presented in Newton Panbride Church, Arbroath Road, Carnoustie, at 7pm. James Hutcheson and his cast will tell the Bard's life story in poetry, song, dialogue and narrative. Tickets for this event are available directly from the church, at the local Fobel Shop, or by paying at the door on the evening. Ticket price is £6 per person, including refreshments. Both events are highly recommended, but with tickets going fast advance booking is advised for anyone planning to attend. |

Announcing The Sabbatical for Pre-order
5th January 2023 It is with much excitement that Extremis Publishing can announce that The Sabbatical is now available for pre-order. In this brand new book, author James R.A. Herriot details his life of world travel in a journal spanning 52 weeks of the global coronavirus pandemic, exploring destinations on many continents - including some surprising locations and heart-warming encounters. If you were able to travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? During the second Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, James Herriot decided to collate various of the journeys he and his wife (Debbie) have made during their life together as a journal for their grandchildren. Reminiscing about their favourite places, James also includes suggestions for good books, his favourite music, as well as fine wines consumed with family and friends in the various locations. Travel with him from his beautiful home town of Berwick-upon-Tweed to Australia, New Zealand, America, Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, Turkey, and others, plus some closer to home – all 52 having their own story to tell. Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, his observations are always thought-provoking. The Sabbatical will help you to reminisce about places you have visited – or possibly encourage you to visit new locations for yourself. The Sabbatical will be released on Wednesday 1st February 2023, and will be available in paperback as well as a special hardback edition.
