My inaugural book launches today on Amazon! I have several more follow-ups planned, each focusing on the modern day, Scottish families populating North Carolina and featuring researcher and historian Elle Cunningham Mackay. It will be available on Amazon, our County Argyle website, and at any of our of live events around the southeast.

From the back of the book:

For author and historian Elle Cunningham Mackay, six weeks on Cape Fear’s Roan Island is a desperately needed second chance. When her host and former flame Stuart MacUspaig invites her to his historic Aldermire estate, she jumps at the opportunity to research first-hand the disappearing Scottish clans who settled North Carolina.

She soon realizes that Stuart has something more in mind, and his offer comes with complicated strings. After too many questionable choices—not to mention a failed marriage, a pink slip and a criminal record, Elle knows she is running out of options.

When Stuart is found brutally murdered, Elle fears that her past mistakes may finally be catching up with her. Relying only on her keen mind and mile-wide stubborn streak, Elle races to find his killer. As the body count grows, her only hope is to mend her ways and make a new start or she risks becoming collateral damage in the extinction of Clan MacUspaig.

One early review from Amazon:

I could have read this book in one or two sittings but instead went through each chapter like a glass of good whisky. Savored the characters and setting and story.
