Miles Away

by N J Edmunds

We're please to announce Miles Away — N J Edmunds' debut novel.

What you know can kill you – or make you kill.

Set in 1970s Scotland, Miles Away is the story of Dacre, whose early life has been disturbed by phobias which now threaten his first relationship.

Dacre searches for the cause of his phobias, but the loss of a friend who found it all too much makes him understand the risks he is taking by exploring his subconscious. Shocking family secrets are exhumed, amongst them his own repressed memories of gruesome murders — crimes that remain unsolved and apparently unconnected.

From the Author

I retired after 33 years as a GP in Scotland. The amazing, and at times eye-opening, array of human experiences that I encountered has left my head full of stories, and so I started to write — the result is Miles Away.

My interest in people and their minds means psychology has a heavy influence on my stories, and like our brains, Miles Away is full of twists and turns. I thought publication of one book would be enough for me, but instead I feel more stories coming on.

I live in Stirling, Scotland with my wife Helen and our cocker spaniel. When I am not writing — and I can hear Helen asking ‘when is that?’ — I enjoy gardening, walking, a little cooking, and relaxing. And reading, of course. I particularly enjoy James Robertson’s books, and James Lee Burke, as well as books by other people not called James.
