The situation: A few months ago, my son was involved in a severe car accident that resulted in him breaking his neck. He was lucky, and the break only involved the bone and not the spinal cord. He has since recovered and has decided to devote his life to becoming a radiologist to help others who are in a similar situation. Everything changed when we were informed by both the auto and health insurances that our claims for the accident and the medical bills would not be covered. We would have to pay these enormous bills ourselves. In order to cover these costs, I will need to sell an outstanding 80,000 books

Jay Anderson

Picture this: I’m juggling a 60-hour workweek, wrangling three acres of Texas land, and trying to be the best husband, father, and-my favorite title-Grandpa. And then, on a complete whim, I dove headfirst into the world of storytelling.

Suddenly, I was obsessed with all things Scottish and Irish, especially the legendary Battle of Culloden. One day, as I was about to step into the shower, a wild thought struck me: What if the Jacobites had advanced weapons at Culloden? That spark became a blaze-imagine a 150-man Scottish Highland regiment, trained for modern warfare, suddenly transported back in time, one week before the fateful bat
