"The carpet of forest, rolling hills and the loch branching the streams like the branches of an old oak was truly a sight to behold. Many small rivers giving life to the loch; like Scotland's people giving her the fight She needed to regain Her freedom. Allison and I were one of them." In the year 1297, the drums of war echo across the Scottish mountains. Life is rough for any man in the rugged highlands, fighting to maintain their freedom from the determined English. Marian McKeegan knows these struggles all too well, as after her home is invaded by soldiers, she is forced to flee into the highlands, alongside her father's prized highland cow, Allison. The wild mountains hold both extreme dangers and beauty, the unforgiving pushing both girl and beast to the brink as they push through the volatile land ravaged by war to sanctuary. Their only chances of survival are each other.

I've never been to Scotland. Why? Why didn't my father take me there? Has he even ever been? His grandmother was born somewhere in Scotland.

"You know? For me, it's harder to fall in love than it is to fall for the stars of my enemies." When her grandfather dies, Lindsay McFarland receives a mysterious box for the purposes of her grandfather's last dying wish. Forgotten throughout the years, the dusty and unopened box is revealed one nightmare ridden night. Lindsay, a girl of facts, disappears into her first summer alone with four things on her mind: 1. Go on an adventure. 2. Find unconditional love. 3. Make memories. 4. Write the story...the story of the stars. Typewriters Can't Sing tells a coming of age story of love, adventure, and mystery.

The times in Scotland are turbulent. It has been five years since the failed Jacobite Rising of 1715 and the consequences are still being felt heavily. Peigi MacDonald is a kitchen maid. Alasdair MacIver is the son of the Laird. All it takes for these once-friends to be thrown back into each other's paths is one dance, but everything that happens next is much more than fate... Is mios' an t-eagal na 'n cogadh Fear is worse than fighting

The first story I've tried posting. It will most likely have irregular updates. I'm not sure about the description of the story however once I have more posted I will be sure to give a summary.

Aila has had a hard life, and it only seemed to be getting worse as her uncle promised her to an old highlander Laird who wanted a bonny virgin. With no way to say no Aila is forced to start her journey to the Highlands, the home of her mother's people, where she hopes she might can find a way to make a new start away from her uncle, if only she could escape her impending marriage. Alec MacKinnon has no wish to marry yet, though his father is insisting on him providing an heir to the MacKinnon clan. Alec instead wishes to make them more prosperous and to bring peace between his clan and the MacBeths. A long ago feud started over the Laird's daughter and his uncle who was enamored with the lass. She did not care for him, and when his affections were not returned his uncle had tried to kidnap the lass. Once she was found and returned, unharmed thankfully, she fled to the English where she married a rich Earl she claimed to love. Angus MacBeth blames the MacKinnon's for running his only daughter off. Now he wants to set things right.
