Of these stories, the title piece had already won the Ian St James Award in 1996, ‘Fish’ had won the Macallan Prize in 1996, and ‘Half A Million Pounds And A Miracle’ had won the Neil Gunn Award in 1997.
His first novel, Under the Skin (2000), was shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award and he has also won the Neil Gunn Prize and an Ian St James Award.
Other fiction includes The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps (1999), a novella, and The Courage Consort (2002), the story of an a cappella singing group. The Crimson Petal and the White (2002), is set in Victorian England and tells the story of Sugar, a 19-year-old prostitute. His collection of stories, The Apple (2006) continues the tale of some of the characters from The Crimson Petal and the White.
