'A Certain Kind of Mistake' is one in a series of three novels by G M Hutchison, in which the central character in each of them has quite by chance, come face to face with the ramifications of some hugely significant global or national issue. Out of their depth in all this, they are being forced to think 'outside the box'. BREXIT Foresaking Anna (page 203) describes a very dangerous situation that almost came to pass in the UK. COVID Am I Being Followed? (page 226) sees the origin and purpose of this pestilence through the eyes of a respectable religious fundamentalist. ANTI-SEMITISM A Certain Kind of Mistake (pages 11, 99, 310) mistakenly portrays a victim in the role of a predator Along with some of the most famous people in the land, G M Hutchison thinks very highly of his of his father's 'Uncle Bob', the artist Robert Gemmell Hutchison, who found his calling early on in life to be later referred to as the 'Scottish Israels', no less. Unfortunately, G M Hutchison inherited absolutely none of his great uncle's talent, and even more unfortunately, didn't find his own particular calling as a 'would-be' novelist until he was about to lift his old age pension. Now a proud great-grandfather, six times over, G M Hutchison started school in Scotland just as the first bombs were being dropped in the 2nd World War. He clearly remembers a smouldering bombsite, right next to his home, in which a German landmine, during the previous night, had blown up a whole tenement building.

About the Author
G. M. Hutchison lived next to a smouldering bombsite, having started school in Scotland just as the first bombs were being dropped in the Second World War. He has worked at quite a few different jobs, in many of which he has been involved in conflicts of various kinds and feels compelled to compare these with the not dissimilar but much more significant, well-known events of recent times, and to do so without detracting from the despair, determination, ineptitude and romance contained in the storylines, so that the reader will be entertained as well as enlightened by the narrative.
