A Fife farmer has landed a six-figure publishing deal following on from the success of his self-published crime novels.
James Oswald farms as 350-acre sheep and cow farm. He has written six books featuring an Edinburgh detective called Tony McLean. He published his debut novel online after it was rejected by agents and publishers. It went to Number 1 and stayed there for weeks.
His first three books sold more than 350,000 downloads, which brought him to the attention of publishers.
He works on his farm during the day and writes at night.
