My new novel:

The Fence Aberdeen Zombie post apocalyptic military survival Novel Book

The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

About Aberdeen consider Johnston Gardens Aberdeen to be the most peaceful and beautiful of Aberdeen parks. It is the smallest at one hectare, but has lots to command your attention. It is most noted for its beautiful rockeries with alpines and heather, bedding plants, spring bulbs, rhododendrons, shrubbery and trees, hanging baskets, gentle paths and picturesque wooden bridges, waterfalls and large pond. Johnston Garden is a haven for local birds from the calm and relaxing coo coo of wood pigeons to the gently floating black headed gulls that could be seen in the photo below and range of ducks like mallard and muscovy.

Aberdeen Lynne Golden Retriever

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.

We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.

The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:

"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

Advertise On About Aberdeen






Johnston Gardens Aberdeen opens from 8am until one hour prior to dusk. There is a small play area for younger children but the park is not suitable for ball games; it is truly a place to relax and enjoy the fine Aberdeen weather. There are plenty of bench seats to sit, relax and watch the scenery and birdlife. For these reasons Johnston Gardens Aberdeen is a popular place for wedding photographs, particularly the bridge over the pond.

Flight 85N Memorial


At the rear of Johnston Gardens Aberdeen is a black granite memorial to North Sea Bond Offshore Eurocopter AS332L2 Super Puma Mk 2 helicopter G-REDL Flight 85N which crashed 11 nautical miles northeast of Peterhead with the loss of lives of 2 crew and 14 passengers from the BP oil rigs platform in the Miller oilfield.
