Lemon Detergent is not a Flavour
Current police advice regarding my situation is to keep a low profile, refrain from speaking to any of my crime-related contacts and stay out of London.
When I jokingly suggested going to live on the Isle of Skye, I was told that was not such a bad idea.
Despite what certain detectives might think, hiding out on Skye would not be a good move for me. Whilst the island posses a harsh, rigorous beauty and is not exactly a high activity zone for the 15 Clans of the Albanian Mafiya, I am not exactly going to thrive on the Trotternish Peninsula.
Even when going to ground, a man should try to maintain some standards. Portree – the island’s biggest town and best attempt at something approaching modern civilisation – is one of the worst places for food I have ever come across. I cannot hole up somewhere that has yet to discover lemon detergent is not a flavour and potatoes are not the only vegetable.

Probably best then you remove your photo on your profile mate. Whats happened with your publishers have you given them what for- they should pay for your relocation if you ask me ..
I have no intention of leaving London just yet. Unfortunately, some of the people my publisher has caused a problem with will not need a photo to recognise me.
I have never tried lemon detergent, but I am found of lemon furniture polish. A little greasy, but still...good on fish.
Then trust me, you should dine at The Cabin, Bayfield, Portree (01478 612221) – a restaurant that uses vast amounts of lemon cleaning products in its shambolic mockery of food.
Hunger, exhaustion and alcohol may all have led me to despoil my tatesbuds once or twice in my life, but I never insulted them so much as when I ate at The Cabin.
isn't it better to hide in plain site... in the metropolis? i always thought so. maybe i watch too many of those films where people go to some remote location and seem to be instantly found.
whatever happens, stay in touch. i enjoy your writing.
Thank you. I do not intend to give up on London or to give up on writing, both are fundamental to my life at the moment,
true potatoes are not the only vegetable. There's always Corn. I don't know though. Right about now, I think I'd like living on a deserted island...
Hello! I found you via Aliandra Darkeyes (at Finatra Eternal) she said you were an amazing writer and from what I've read so far, she was right.
Your situation sounds a bit complicated, from experience, I'd say hide in plain sight, that is definitely the best advice that these people seem to have given you. Make them think you have left London, but don't really leave. If they figure that out, then I hear that AK47's make a nice defensive weapon :)
Take care and I'll be stopping by from time to time if that's alright with you :)

Wow.. this is serious. I do hope that everything will be alright. Thank you for stopping by my blog and for the compliment. I have only read some of your posts and a couple of your comments, but you are really an intense writer. I love your style.
I'll be back.
Thank you for your kind comments on my writing SC and Duchess. As for AK47s... like Doctor Who, I don't do guns. And Aurora, trust me, you would not want to live on Skye.
Right...will look it up. Do I need a reservation?
