This monologue is usually spoken in a slow manner, not sure why, but I love Michael Jayston's version much more. #MichaelJayston #Macbeth #WilliamShakespeare #michaeljayston #shakespeare #Macbethmonologue,#soliloquy #TomorrowAndTomorrowAndTomorrow #Macbethsoliloqui #Shakespeare
I am devasted to learn to that one of my all time favourite writers and my friend @authorpetermay has died. Peter was one of the best writers to have come out of Scotland and has left behind a remarkable legacy and an incredible body of work through his many series of novels.
He was very kind to me when he didn't have to be and I will miss him terribly. I'm at least happy in the knowledge that the last thing I wrote to him was expressing my gratitude for his memories and most importantly, his friendship. Just wish it could have lasted so much longer.
I'm very pleased to announced that @authorpetermay will be providing the Foreword to Volume 1 of The Road to Glendarroch. Peter will also be sharing his memories in Volume 1 of his journey of becoming a professional writer and joining the writing staff of Take The High Road.
