This book, the first in a trilogy was inspired by an actual event.On the 25th of January 1996 two young boys named Grant Hendrie and Grant Forrest knocked on my door at about nine o’ clock at night. They had found a wee Border collie pup that had been running about in the snow and was obviously lost. What a strange coincidence I thought, as Robert Burns dog was a Border collie called Luath. I looked after the pup for two days and fell in love with him, but I knew he had to belong to someone. Lo and behold it turned out he belonged to a Mr Johstone and he was delighted to get him back, these events inspired me to write the Luath Trilogy.
