Letters From Skye

March 1912. Twenty-four-year-old Elspeth Dunn, a published poet and a fisherman’s wife, has never seen the world beyond the Isle of Skye. So she is astonished when a fan letter arrives from an American student, David Graham. Their exchanges blossom into friendship, and eventually into love. But David volunteers as an ambulance driver on the Western Front, and Elspeth can only wait for him on Skye. June 1940: After a nearby bomb rocks her house, and letters that were hidden in a wall come raining down, Elspeth disappears. Only a single letter remains as a clue to Elspeth’s whereabouts. As her daughter Margaret sets out to find her mother, she must also face the truth of what happened to her family long ago…

The Last Pearl Fisher Of Scotland

Brodie McBride is having a tough time. The last expert in the ancient art of pearl fishing, he’s on a quest to track down the pearl that will complete a necklace for his wife, Elspeth – convinced that the love token will save their marriage. But Scotland’s rivers are running out of mussels, Elspeth is running out of patience, and their ten-year-old daughter Maggie is running wild with her moustachioed pet rabbit, Frank. And when Maggie takes matters into her own hands, determined to keep the family together, the McBrides are soon at the centre of an international commotion that will change everyone’s lives forever.

A Kind Of Madness

“I want to know why, when you become all woman in my arms, when you respond so passionately to my kiss, you’re going to marry a man who you’ve just admitted can’t turn you on.” Carter Macdonald oozed sex appeal. He was the sort of man who could easily sweep a woman off her feet. But Elspeth was made of sterner stuff. She wanted an orderly life with no highs and lows, no chaotic emotions. And that was exactly what Peter, a wealthy lawyer, was offering her. So why did she suddenly get the feeling that she ought to review the future she had mapped out for herself?

Brothers In Blood

As young Stubbs ‘Sunshine’ Shining is riding west, he sees four gunmen firing at a homestead and scares them off. Bethany Bartok, the widowed resident, explains that her son Bart has gone off in search of his fortune, and her daughter Elspeth has travelled east to be educated. Sunshine decides to stay for a short spell – but when he learns that Bart has been kidnapped, and the local Cutaway brothers are determined to get their hands on the property, he starts to untangle threads that lead him into dangerous territory.

Standard Deviation

Graham Cavanaugh’s second wife, Audra, is everything his first wife was not. She considers herself privileged to live in the age of the hair towel; talks non-stop through her epidural, labour AND delivery; invites the doorman to move in, and the eccentric members of their son’s Origami Club to Thanksgiving. She is charming and spontaneous and fun, but life with her can be exhausting. In the midst of the day-to-day difficulties and delights of marriage and raising a child with Asperger’s, Graham’s first wife, Elspeth, reenters his life. Former spouses are hard to categorize – are they friends, enemies, old flames, or just people who know you really, really well? Graham starts to wonder: how can anyone love two such different women? Did he make the right choice? IS there a right choice?
