Under A Gravid Sky (The Strathavon Saga, #1):
"A good historical read
I am a fan of historical fiction, this book was an enjoyable read. When I first started the novel it reminded me of similar work written by Diana Gabaldon with attention to sights, customs and speech of the period, however it di" Read more of this review » |

The Blood And The Barley (The Strathavon Saga, #2):
"A promising historical debut novel.
I thought this an interesting read, set in a post Jacobite Scottish landscape. The characters are well drawn and there is enough depth of description to draw the reader in. I read the first book in the saga prior to" Read more of this review » |

Hello Terry, please forgive me; I’ve only just noticed your question. I have no plans at the present to publish my books beyond Amazon; they make it financially difficult for me to do so. Being based in Scotland, I don’t know a great deal about the N

“So I say this. Speak of them. Speak of those that died. Speak of all those who ever died--in all the world's history, in its wars, and long-lost days. Speak of those who met their deaths in Glencoe, in snow--not of their deaths, but of their lives before them. Not of how they died, but of how they bent to pat a dog's head, or what ballads they could sing, or what their skin was like by their eyes when they smiled, or which weather was their weather--for it keeps them living. It stops them being dead.
To do this--to speak or write of them--puts breath back in their mouths. It lifts them up from their earthy beds... brings them forth, and they stand by the side of the one who speaks of them; they walk out of the pages of those who write them down. From the realm, they smile upon us. All the dead people--only, they are not dead.”

“The Highland way says it's who you say you love and who you serve, which is of worth. Not some title that is passed down upon you by tradition. That's the English way, and the Lowland way--but who can be born a nobleman? Nobility is earned... 'Tis our choices that make us.”
