This week on CamGlen Radio we had a brilliant chat with local author Iain McMillan about his writing journey and his two books, The Boy with the Thorn in His Side and The Money 💴 and the Honey 🍯 📖 You can find out more by visiting Iain’s website here 👉🏼https://iainmcmillanauthor.com
We talked about how Iain’s writing journey began, from his school days to having stories published in magazines and through to becoming a published author.
We talked about Iain’s debut novel and there’s plenty to connect with! From family relationships, friendships, music 🎵 and ⚽️ casual culture in Glasgow in the 80s & 90s, The Boy with the Thorn in His Side brings back a real sense of nostalgia.
We also talked about mental wellbeing and the challenges the main character. Frankie experiences, and how stories like this can be a powerful pathway to open up conversations that weren’t talked about so openly in those days.
We also chatted about one of the spin offs from the book — Keep The Heid, which is a local mens mental wellbeing peer support group which offers a safe and non judgemental space to connect and talk. 💙 They meet at Blantyre Soccer Academy Community Hub, Birch Place, Blantyre, G72 9PL (across from the Parkville Bar). You can find them on Instagram.
We really enjoyed this conversation and we encourage you to listen to be inspired and read the books !
A big thank you to Iain for joining me and sharing his stories with us. 🙌
And, who knows… perhaps one day we’ll see one of these books on stage or even on the big screen! 🎭🎥
📚 Iain’s books are available through his website and Amazon.
