Bordering on Lunacy (Fully Revised 2022 Edition)

About this ebook
A father and son from Kent embark upon a circuit of the Scottish Lowland coast in search of lighthouses. As they traverse the coastline, they become drawn to the history and heritage of the area and turn their mission inland, along the battle-ridden Scottish Border, hoping to experience a haunting in spite of their expressed scepticism. The nightly wind-down in the pub seems to ignite some comedic and often impassioned musings about modern life, and even the odd bit of conspiracy theory.
Informally written, this 2022 reissue updates some of the information, hones some of the humour and hopes to inspire other 'southern softies' to get a handle on the region's complex past. This adventure should appeal to modern travel readers, looking for a slightly different take on the genre.
Adam Colton
Born in 1975, Adam Colton is a writer of humorous travelogues and short stories from Kent, UK. His first paperback documented an attempt to visit every lighthouse on the mainland coast of England and Wales undertaken with his father, Roger Colton, who published and contributed to the book which was featured on the BBC news to mark National Lighthouse Day and became the subject of a question on the quiz show, University Challenge.Since then, Adam has straddled the line between documenting his lightly philosophical UK travel escapades and mind-blowing fiction. One of his stories was short-listed for the HG Wells festival's short story competition. He is also a writer of topical songs, performing as one half of the duo Adam and Teresa, whose song 'Fat Cats with a Death Wish on the M25' received airplay on BBC Radio Kent. Meanwhile '2021 - A Musical Odyssey' humorously reviews classic rock albums from the 1960s to the present day in a way that should raise a smile with anybody of a certain age..Bibliography:England and Wales in a Flash (2003) - with Roger ColtonMud Sweat and Beers (2006)Seven Dreams of Reality (Conundrum Sampler vol.1) (2009)Bordering on Lunacy (2011) - with Roger ColtonThe Kent-erbury Tales (Conundrum Sampler vol.2) (2012)Stair-Rods and Stars (2015)Codename: Narcissus (2020)The Dream Machine (Labyrinth of Dreams) (2020)The Nightshade Project (2020)2021: A Musical Odyssey (2021)Mud, Sweat and Beers (2022 'Reload' Edition) (2022)Bordering on Lunacy (Fully Revised 2022 Edition) (2022)
