STORM HAGS
Kirsty and Angus are embarking on a family sailing trip around the world when their parents disappear in a storm and their boat, the Marianne, is shipwrecked. Marooned on the hidden island of Gruinsoye they discover a land full of mystery and menace. A cult of psychics using ancient technology living side by side mythical beings. What should have been the experience of a lifetime suddenly turns into a struggle for survival and escape. The cover is from my painting Stack of the Storm Hags.
GLEN OF GOATS
In the above painting Towards the Bay of Echoes, Kirsty and Angus find the entrance to the Bay of Echoes.
STORM RAFT
From the chapter Psychic Shoog, the Storm Hags create a storm raft from nets and tree ferns.
BRAHAN SEER
16th C Highland prophet Coinneach Odhar (Kenneth MacKenzie) also known as the Brahan Seer . He was said to have one eye that was milky...probably a cataract... he would hold up his hollow stone to this eye to scry....to see into the future.
SEORDAG TV
The idea of a cloned Brahan Seer was first developed when I was creating a series of animated cartoons for children. In Storm Hags there is a reference to Seordag TV when Angus saves his Seordag TV comic from the sinking Marianne. The above painting called A Selfish Moment is based on the characters in the Seordag TV stories.
