This is the second novel in the Malcolm Craig series. It covers the period from the beginning of World War Two until 1956 when Malcolm Craig and his wife, Marina Dunbar have no option but to leave the United Kingdom for South Africa. Fiona Compton is putting finishing touches to the third novel in the Malcolm Craig series and hopes to publish it by the end of 2015.
"Love Set to Music" and "A Song for You and Me", the last two novels in the Malcolm Craig series are set in South Africa from 1956 to 1966. Malcolm Craig and Marina Dunbar settle in the country after problems with the Inland Revenue in the United Kingdom. They open a studio in Johannesburg and start teaching in addition to their theatre work. Despite the "sweethearts of song" image of their marriage, their relationship remains stormy but matters are eventually resolved in a highly unexpected way. These last two novels are largely based on my own private experiences which I have recreated as fiction thanks to my memories, contemporary diaries, and a fair share of my imagination. As to the "key" of these novels - some might work it out for themselves but I will never disclose it to anyone as long as I live!
This is the first novel in a series about famous British tenor, Malcolm Craig. It covers his early life and loves until the beginning of World War Two. The second novel, "Faint Harmony" will be available soon. Fiona Compton is completing the third novel in the series at the moment.

Once the flocks are penned, then the lanterns are turned towards the south. The watchers wait in silence.’ It is 1793... As Europe watches the French Revolution’s bloody progress, uneasy Scottish landowners struggle to secure their wealth and power. And, in Dalriada – the ancient Kingdom of Scotland – fractured truths, torn loyalties and bloody atrocities are rife. Can anyone ride the maelstrom of these dangerous times? Only, it seems, Malcolm Craig Lowrie – the legendary Wolf of Dalriada. ...
