Scottish writer Maggie Craig loves to write about Scotland, both fiction and non-fiction. She has been a willing prisoner of the Jacobites of 1745 from an early age, when a favourite uncle put DK Broster's The Flight of the Heron into her hands. She has read this classic poignant and romantic Jacobite adventure more times than she can remember.
Her first published book was Damn' Rebel Bitches: The Women of the '45, which has been described as a "modern classic." Its companion volume is Bare-Arsed Banditti: The Men of the '45. The Scots Magazine said of it: "This is a superbly structured work, written with passion and conviction." Her most recent non-fiction book is When the Clyde Ran Red, a popular history of Red Clydeside, which has also been well received by readers and reviewers alike.
She brings the same skills of meticulous research and seamlessly woven narrative to her novels and is thrilled when so many readers jokingly accuse her of having kept them up till two o'clock in the morning because they had to find out what was going to happen next.
All her novels have a passionate love affair at their heart, featuring a hero and heroine who each have their own journey to make and their own battles to fight. Her books also vividly evoke Glasgow in the early 20th century and Edinburgh in the 19th. Maggie Craig has now gone back in time to 18th century Scotland and is currently working on her own tale of poignant and romantic Jacobite adventure.
