From the beginning of time with Druid Sacrifice, covering every Scotish monarch and history until the 1950's; his characters are rich and real, and his descriptions of this beautiful country with it's exciting history comes alive! He has written about 140 books. Many are out of print and hard to find, but many are being reprinted. Once you start, you are hooked.
