Download or read book Don t Call Me Angus written by Gus Mackenzie and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just the mention of St. Andrews stirs excitement in the heart of every golfer. But to young Angus MacKay, living in the Swilken Bank Hotel, overlooking the eighteenth hole of St. Andrews Old Course was not particularly awe inducing. But it was, an adventure. Dont Call Me Angus is a mixture of fiction and memoir that recounts the story of a Scottish family during the 1960s and 1970s. In this pleasant and amusing collection of tales, author Gus Mackenzie writes of the emotions and moderate dramas generated by years of telling and retelling family tales. With beautifully descriptive narratives tinged with an ever-present humorous wink and a nod, the adventures begin with the MacKay family; Angus, the youngest son, his brother, sister, parents, and assorted relatives who live in and manage the Swilken Bank Hotel. Despite encounters with Bing Crosby, Sean Connery, Tony Jacklin, and Christopher Lee, Anguss real adventures stemmed from the fire in room 9 and eventful trips to his grandmothers house in Kirkcaldy. Layered with light hearted insight, Angus delves into the posh and unique life of the family Mackay as they live in the shadow of the iconic St. Andrews.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After being away, unwillingly, for five years Royden MacKinnon returns home a far different man. Royden doesn’t know what he’ll find. He knows his brother Arran is still alive, but what about his father, his sister, Raven, and most of all what about the woman he loves… Oria. The attack that had ripped his family apart, seen his land confiscated, and the woman he’s loved since he’s been young lost to him, came on the day he and Oria were to wed. He and Arran had been forced to serve a mercenary group until recently when he was released and his clan and land returned to him. But why now? And what price was the cost of his freedom? Oria is shocked to see the man she loves from as long as she can remember standing in front of her. She had hoped and prayed for this day and it was finally here. But many things had happened in Royden’s absence, things he needed to know and things she couldn’t share with him, since honor bound her to promises she’d made. Unfortunately, time and events change people, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much. Royden and Oria aren’t who they once were. Will their love transcend all else and survive? And will the evil that once tore them apart threaten them again? Author note… there is a Prequel, Highland Oath, to this book. It introduces all the characters, and details what led to the Clan MacKinnon being separated. You don’t have to read it to read this one, but you might find it interesting.

Book excerpt: It's the spring of 1898 and Dawson, Yukon Territory, is the most exciting town in North America. The great Klondike Gold Rush is in full swing, and Fiona MacGillivray has crawled over the Chilkoot Pass, determined to make her fortune as the owner of the Savoy dance hall. But Fiona has many obstacles to overcome, including her 12-year-old son, who is growing up much too fast for her liking. As well, she must cope with a former Glasgow street fighter who is now her business partner; a stern, handsome North West Mounted Police constable named Richard Sterling; and a wild assortment of headstrong dancers, croupiers, gamblers, madams without hearts of gold, bar hangers-on, and sourdoughs. Not to mention Fiona's own nimble-fingered past, which just might get to her first. And then there's the dead body on center stage.Gold Digger is a light-hearted historical mystery, peopled with an array of intrepid characters, the kind of characters who flooded into the Klondike to make Dawson, in its very short heyday, the most exciting town in the world. At the center of the hullabaloo is Fiona MacGillivray: resourceful, unscrupulous, ambitious, and (as she says herself) the most beautiful woman in Dawson. Gold Digger is the first in a new series featuring Fiona MacGillivray, her son Angus, NWMP Constable Richard Sterling, and the town at the heart of the Last Great Gold Rush, Dawson, Yukon Territory.
