I of the Black Douglas Trilogy
Scottish
Historical Fiction
Eighteen-year-old James Douglas can only
watch, helpless, as the Scottish freedom fighter, William Wallace, is hanged,
drawn, and quartered. Even under the heel of a brutal English conqueror,
James's blood-drenched homeland may still have one hope for freedom, the
rightful king of the Scots, Robert the Bruce. James swears fealty to the man he
believes can lead the fight against English tyranny.
The Bruce is soon a fugitive, king in name
and nothing more. Scotland is occupied, the Scottish resistance crushed. The
woman James loves is captured and imprisoned. Yet James believes their cause is
not lost. With driving determination, he blazes a path in blood and violence,
in cunning and ruthlessness as he wages a guerrilla war to restore Scotland's
freedom. James knows he risks sharing Wallace's fate, but what he truly fears
is that he has become as merciless as the conqueror he fights.

II of The Black Douglas Trilogy
Scottish
Historical Fiction
Fourteen-century Scotland is a conquered
nation, at the mercy of England’s brutal King Edward. James Douglas continues
his guerilla war to reclaim his stolen birthright and drive out the English
tyrant. But as Edward’s attentions turn again to subduing the rebellious Scots,
James must deal with the tortuous, conflicting demands of duty and love.
The clash of two nations and the destiny of a
man coming of age in a violent time springs to life in this novel of
passion, loyalty, cunning and ruthlessness.
Fourteenth-century Scotland suffers under the
heel of England's King Edward, but James Douglas refuses to submit to the
conqueror. Above all else, James fears that his life and his own dream—of
a free Scotland—might be lost to Edward's lust for conquest. As James
wages a guerilla war to drive out the invader and reclaim his birthright,
Edward brings a vast army to crush the Scottish resistance. In the midst of the
brutal war, even the woman James loves is threatened by his implacable duty.
In a conflict poised to reach its bloody
finale, the Scots and English cross swords in a reckoning that will determine
Scotland's survival.

Historical Fiction
James, Lord of Douglas, known to his foes as
the Black Douglas, leads a flank of the Scottish army in crushing a vast
invading English force at the waters of the Bannockburn. Fresh from
battle, James revels in honors heaped on him by the Scots and in the hatred of
the enemy. When King Robert the Bruce orders him to push their advantage and
force the English to the peace table, they both know the only way he can do so
is by fire and the sword--the only language King Edward of England understands.
