Jamie Fraser

Jamie Fraser is half Highlander, half Islander: a Fraser from the Inverness side, and a MacIntyre through his mother's family on South Uist, where Gaelic was the first language spoken at home. He grew up in Scotland's Central Belt with a head full of the old stories, the kind that sit just under the surface of the hills and the sea lochs.

Mythical Tales from Brigadoon is his retelling of fourteen of them: faerie folk and selkies, the Cailleach and the Wulver, and the Blue Men of the Minch, who haunt the very waters off South Uist.

By day Jamie builds software. He studied computer games development at Glasgow Caledonian University, and he still thinks the best stories are the ones you can't quite prove didn't happen.
