As a grateful recovering addict, Aidan is heavily involved in the recovery scene.

His second book is currently in submission—an autofiction around lad culture within the trance scene of the early noughties— and is called 'Forever Young.' He received an award from Authors’ Foundation and K Blundell Trust towards the completion of this book. In May 2022 Aidan received an award from Creative Scotland to work on a third book, titled 'Trollies in the Almond' which is in production. This is also an autofiction. In October 2022 the organisation he co-founded, The Scheme – Livingston, received official charitable status. This was co-founded with his creative partner (illustrator of Euphoric Recall) Mark Deans. They use creativity as an alternative source of support and connection. Also in October 2022, Aidan was awarded the Lifetime Ambassador Award from West Lothian College, where he graduated with an HNC in 2014. Aidan is represented by Jenny Todd (former Publisher and Director of Canongate Books and Marketing Director of Penguin Press), founder of The Literary Office.
