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.

Book excerpt: When art history grad student Lynn Fleming finds out that Wylie, her younger brother, has disappeared, she reluctantly leaves New York and returns to the dusty Albuquerque of her youth. What she finds when she arrives is more unsettling and frustrating than she could have predicted. Wylie is nowhere to be found, not in the tiny apartment he shares with a grungy band of eco-warriors, or lingering close to his suspiciously well-maintained Caprice. As Wylie continues to evade her, Lynn becomes certain that Angus, one of her brother’s environmental cohorts, must know more than he is revealing. What follows is a tale of ecological warfare, bending sensibilities, and familial surprises as Lynn searches for her missing person.

The baby nearly dies at birth, but Maria's father, John, goes across a field in time to entice modern hunky OB/GYN doctor, Angus McPherson, to come to her rescue. Dr. Angus saves the baby's life, using modern means, but is shocked when he learns he has made the ultimate HOUSE CALL TO THE PAST. When Maria is accused of witchcraft, he opts to stay with her in the past, offering to marry her to save her from a lifetime in prison. Maria agrees, but vows she will never love anyone but Black Sam. Can Dr. Angus win her love? And can he protect her from Black Sam, if he returns? A page-turning challenge ensues, proving that hopefully good once again triumphs over evil. Watch for the sequel, PORT CALL TO THE FUTURE, to learn the other half of the story: what really happened to Black Sam Bellamy?

Book excerpt: Hagit Borer develops a new model of word formation, arguing that on the one hand the basic building blocks of language are rigid semantic and syntactic functions, while on the other hand they are roots, which in themselves are but packets of phonological information, and are devoid of both meaning and grammatical properties of any kind.
