Nan will be making her first appearance on the Edinburgh Fringe this August. The one-man-plus-several-others show 'NanShepherd: From Flaneur to Fiver' will be staged for three nights at the Scottish Poetry Library - August 20, 21, and 22; 7.30 £6 (£4).

​Personal appearances are promised by Fats Waller, General Erich Ludendorff, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.   

Gerda Stevenson's beautiful reading of  Nan's 'In The Cairngorms' poetry collection can now be downloaded here. Publishers Galileo anticipate releasing a 'luxury' CD version over the summer.

​And stand by for some remarkable developments on the 'Living Mountain' front. Canongate have signed up a very prestigious voice for an audio version. Spoiler alert: it is neither Lady Gaga nor Bradley Cooper. 

Nan's poetry collection In the Cairngorms, published by Galileo, is now available in the USA, in bookshops and online, through SCB Distribution, as will Charlotte Peacock’s biography of Nan: Into the Mountain.

Here is the cover for the new semi-hardback version of The Living Mountain, to be released by Canongate later this year (2019) . 

​For good measure we can give you a sneak preview of the cover of Taiwanese version of The Living Mountain. This rather fine Scottish stag will be a relief to zoologists, many of whom have pointed out that the breed of deer on the cover of the current Canongate paperback is, in fact, native to the Rocky Mountains.

A site-specific interpretation of The Living Mountain is to be staged in the Cairngorms on four afternoons between May 30 and June 2.

Choreographed by Simone Kenyon, and featuring a team of 'body-weather' dancers and an all-female choir, 'Into The Mountain'  promises to "make connections that offer multiple perspectives of this mountainous environment."
