Since then Chris has been working on his debut novel which is now with us in the form of Hermit, published with Wildfire Books on the 27th February.Chris gives a synopsis of Hermit before explaining how the novel has changed in terms of style and story over the years while the central characters of Jamie and Fiona were always there.The two discuss the inspirations behind all the characters, how the structure helped the writing, finding the rhythm of this novel, writing about difficult subjects, and the dark and depressing research Chris undertook to best understand the online subculture of incels.Chris also talks honestly about the challenges in, and expectations of, writing his first novel after the success of his two short story collections HINGS and HWFG, and what he's looking forward to next. Hermit is one of the most eagerly-awaited novels of the year, and it was such a pleasure to be able to discuss it with the author in such an open and insightful manner.For full details, including all the ways to listen, go to scotswhayhae.com

HWFG... This week we decided to discuss being an adult and just how SHITE it can be. We get into the expectations and realities of getting older - the good, the bad, the pressures and how basically we will never not rely on our mums. Can you relate ?

AUTHOR and lifelong Celtic fan Chris McQueer found fame through his Glasgow-inspired short story collections, Hings and HWFG. His latest project, a documentary named Noteworthy, available now on BBC iPlayer, sees Chris touring Scotland in a bid to learn more about the faces that feature on our currency. At the end of his journey, Chris crafts his own banknote, and, while we won’t spoil who made the final cut, it did get us thinking – which Celtic legends would the man himself vouch for if he were to create a Hoops-inspired banknote? “On the front of a note, you need to just have one person’s face,” said Chris this week's episode of the official Celtic View podcast. “On the front, I’ll have Jock Stein. We’ll have a nice portrait of him on the front. “On the back, I’ll go for… it’s got to be Billy McNeill. Get a picture of him in there, holding the European Cup up over his head. And then, on either side of him, I think I’ll pick two players from my time watching as a fan, so two of our more recent players. On one side of Billy, it’ll need to be Henrik Larsson, and then I’ll go for Scott Brown on the other side.” In Noteworthy, Chris’ end product takes the form a seven-pound note. With this is mind, his hypothetical Celtic-inspired currency is worth an impressive £67. Chris added: “So, on the front, Jock Stein. On the back, Billy with the Big Cup, Henrik on the left mid-celebration, and then Scott Brown on the other side – probably a picture of him barking his orders. I’ll make it a 67-pound note as well. I think that would be quite good!”

As his books 'Hings' and 'HWFG' are released in audio, author Chris McQueer joins Robert Kirkwood in the RNIB Talking Book Studios to chat about writing, narrating and ending up in Twitter jail.

Last month in Mono there was the Glasgow launch of David Keenan's latest novel 'For The Good Times'. A night of two-halves, SWH!'s own Ali Braidwood was on chairing duties as first fellow writer Chris McQueer (below) then David himself (above) read from 'HWFG' and 'For The Good Times' respectively before talking in depth about their latest work. It was a really special night and if you weren't able to make it we hope what you are about to hear is the next best thing.

"For the latest podcast Ali spoke to the writer Chris McQueer about his latest collection of short stories, 'HWFG'. If you haven't heard of or read Chris' work, where have you been? His previous book, 'Hings' took the world of Scottish writing by storm announcing a fresh and exciting new voice. 'HWFG', ('Here We Fucking Go', if you haven't worked it out yet), sees him build on the success of 'Hings' introducing readers to new characters as well as bringing back fan favourites. It was fascinating to hear what inspired Chris to write, his influences, the difficulty in following a hit, the highs and lows of being reviewed, and his plans to branch out from writing fiction. He also kindly reads one of his stories which gives the uninitiated a great introduction to Chris McQueer and his work.
