He has written "Kidnapped", an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson, with art by Cam Kennedy, published by Waverley Books. It is part of a project revolving around Edinburgh being the first UNESCO City of Literature in 2007 and various editions will be produced some of which will be handed out for free. A version with text adapted for reluctant readers will be published simultaneously by Barrington Stoke, and a Scots language translation by Matthew Fitt called "Kidnappit" is published by Itchy Coo. If things go well more adaptations may be in the works, although a sequel project based on "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was commissioned due to the relatively high profile and warm reception of the "Kidnapped" adaptation. It is being promoted as part of the One Book – One Edinburgh 2008 campaign.
