Book excerpt: Scotland, 1692. To escape a brutal winter storm, King William's regiments descend on the small village of Glencoe. Caitriona Cameron, the tacksman's daughter, cannot forget her unpleasant encounter the last time English troops appeared. She senses the army's arrival might not be as innocent as it seems, but her warnings go unheeded. Not even MacIain, the MacDonald clan chief, listens. After twelve days of billeting in the villagers' homes, the soldiers attack, committing one of the greatest atrocities in Highland history.Cait escapes the assault with the help of Sergeant Edward Gage who is accused of being a traitor for not taking up arms against the MacDonalds. Edward is hunted by his debauched half-brother, Alexander, who stands to lose everything if King William attaints their father for his treasonous past deeds. With bad blood between them, Alexander sets out to capture Edward to prove his loyalty and save himself from ruin.Cait and Edward travel to Edinburgh to confront the men they suspect are behind the attack, unaware that Alexander is headed there as well. Although Cait is convinced the chief of Clan Campbell is responsible, Edward suspects something much more sinister-that the orders came from higher up, possibly even from the king himself.As accusations of betrayal, deceit, and treason abound, they are all trapped in a web of intrigue and danger, but not everyone will escape

Her father wants her to marry his apprentice; Lord John Dunwoodie wants her to become his mistress. All Bridie wants is to read books and study. To escape marriage to a loutish farrier or ruin in the arms of a dilettante aristocrat, Bridie accepts a proposal from a man she has never met. A man who, above all, says he wants an educated wife. But Angus MacAllister is steward or ‘tacksman’ of a remote Highland township, and Bridie is used to the comforts of a great estate. Life in a blackhouse comes as a shock. Can Bridie learn to be a good wife, and can she ever grow to love the man she married out of desperation? *Publisher Warning: This book contains scenes of disciplinary spanking of adult women, intended purely as fantasies for adults only.

Book excerpt: "A Princess of Thule" by William Black is a romance novel set in Scotland. The author took the inspiration from his trips to the Macdonalds of Tigh a Chaolais as well as the Thule House in Bernera. Isabella Macdonald is said to have inspired the heroine Sheila. Excerpt: "ON a small headland of the distant island of Lewis, an old man stood looking out on a desolate waste of rain-beaten sea. It was a wild and wet day. From out of the lowering Southwest fierce gusts of wind were driving up volumes and flying rags of clouds, and sweeping onward at the same time the gathering waves that fell hissing and thundering on the shore. Far as the eye could reach, the sea and the air and the sky seemed to be one indistinguishable mass of whirling and hurrying vapor, as if beyond this point there were no more land, but only wind and water, and the confused and awful voice of their strife."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises the ancestries, as far as I can trace them, of up to seven generations of our McASLAN and RENWICK parents’ families. As a student, our father researched his own surname, McASLAN, back to the late seventeenth century. Much later, he obtained approval of his researches from the Lord Lyon King of Arms. But he did not research his mother’s family. Nor did he research his wife's / our mother's ancestors. This book thus provides a full ancestry of ourselves.
