Scottish Zombie Novel Book

The North-East of Scotland skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out towards Aberdeen, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?

The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of Scottish horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

The ingredients of Ecclefechan tarts for a typical recipe contain almonds, butter, cinnamon, currants, cherries, dark muscovado sugar, lemon peel, raisins and unusually vinegar. These are then encased in deep lined pastry but with no top.

It is a rich taste, often described as a mixture of treacle, pecan pie and mince pies. In 2007 Sainsbury's advertised them as a Christmas alternative treat and sales soared. The fillings bind together to give a really chewy delight. They can be made as small individual or a larger tart and can be pre-made and reheated later in the oven for about ten minutes or microwaved for about 20 seconds.

Sadly we can never master the art of pastry so if you would like to share your Ecclefechan tarts recipe then please get in touch!
