I had to "Toss a coin" with this one to decide where to place it, ???????
1. The lady in question is a highly regarded author
2. Scotland and all its attributes is well discussed.
3. Independence and Politics is also a key theme.
On our ABC [radio] network we have a regular program titled "Conversations" with Richard Fidlar, the list of topics/interviewees is extensive and varied, informative and entertaining......................today's broadcast was with the lady mentioned..........here is some detail and the link to the site, hopefully it will work for all you overseas readers/listeners................
Val McDermid
Friday 5 June 2015 Val McDermid is a proud Scot with distinct views on her country's future.
Val is the author behind the TV series Wire In the Blood and a prolific and successful writer of crime fiction.
She was born and raised in the little Scottish town of Kirkaldy. Val recalls her childhood in a town famous for its coal and its linoleum.
She's now the sponsor of the local team, the Raith Rovers, who wear her name on their jerseys.
In 2014 Scotland held a referendum on the question of whether or not to depart from the United Kingdom.
Although they remain in the Union for now, Val and many others believe the drive for independence has awakened a new kind of public spirit in Scotland.
Is Scotland going to stick with Britain? Or will they break away after three centuries of union?
Further listening and information
Skeleton Road was published by Hachette in 2014.
Val is working on her new novel, Splinter the Silence, due at the end of August 2015.
