Maggie Craig is the author of seven novels, three works of non-fiction and numerous newspaper and magazine articles. She is also a contributor to the Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women.

Her first six published novels are set in her native Glasgow. This year she publishes One Sweet Moment, an historical novel set in 1820s Edinburgh. She also publishes the long-awaited companion volume to her groundbreaking and acclaimed Damn' Rebel Bitches: The Women of the '45. Telling the fascinating stories of many of the men involved in the dramatic events of 1745-46, Bare-Arsed Banditti: The Men of the '45, includes those who supported Bonnie Prince Charlie and those who opposed him.

She comes from a family where writing is considered an entirely normal thing to do, and which numbers among its forebears the weaver-poet of Paisley, Robert Tannahill. ("So does hauf o' Paisley, hen." Response of wee man in Paisley Museum to the foregoing statement.)
