In Abigail and the Royal Thread, Papa tells his grandson Billy,
dejected over his inability to hit a baseball, the memorable story
of a young 18th century Scottish farm lass named Abigail Rutherford
who learns that the combination of hard work, determination, and
belief in oneself can make dreams come true. The Rutherfords, while
poor, are respected for the superior wool, thread, and cloth they
make. One day they receive the opportunity of a lifetime: to own
the land they now live on in return for weaving a tunic for King
James I of England. The problem is they have a short amount of time
in which to complete this gigantic task. The entire family works
together, but it appears they will fail until Abigail takes her
mother's advice, devotes herself to quickly mastering a nearly
impossible skill, and believes with all her heart and soul that she
and her family, working together, can meet the deadline.
In The Man Who Saved The King, Papa tells little Billy the
wonderful story of William who struggled with his size and strength
as a child. When he grows into a man, William's childhood burden
becomes the key to change Scotland's history forever. This tale,
based on the historical story of William Rule and King Robert the
Bruce, takes children on a beautiful journey through ancient
Scotland while teaching that all of us are born for a purpose.
Billy's family is going to move, and he wants none of it. He loves
his home, and he loves his Papa's stories. When they move, he and
his grandfather will live far apart from one another. But, as Papa
tells Billy, "I'll always have a story for ye." The touching,
historical story of Isobel's New World traces the MacDougald
family's move from Scotland to North Carolina, and in doing so
traces the journey of thousands of Scots. Leaving behind a beloved
land, embarking on a risky journey, and settling in a far away
place--all for the hope of a fresh start and bright future. It's
the story of Isobel, the story of Scottish immigrants, and the
story of America. Isobel's New World teaches children that while
moving can be a scary thing, home is with family. And when family
sticks together, everything else seems to fall in place.
***The fate of mankind teeters on the edge of the megalith

of characters risk it all to unravel the mystery of the ultimate
foe. With Corways under attack and Brendan's father captured by a

days? As the megalith union looms, Brendan and his friends must

When a mad witch with a magically crafted and frightfully powerful
Obsidian Dagger threatens to obliterate humanity and overtake the
magic clans of the Celtic Isles, destiny forces 17-year-old
American, Brendan O'Neal, and his younger sister, Lizzie, to
intervene. Joining the desperate princess of the Leprechauns,

on a dangerous and wondrous adventure across Ireland and Scotland
to thwart the witch and save mankind. Battling the witch's mutated
forces of magical beings, the heroic band will have to reach deeper
into themselves than they ever thought possible to find the
strength, courage, and will to see their quest through to the end.

and divinity are more blurred than he ever imagined.
