a quick synopsis of the book Bannok Burn |
“Splendid! Wonderful!! Electrifying!!! The battle
scene is a thriller. You know the outcome, but you
will read it eagerly and find yourself caught up in
the battle as if you were there on horseback
with de Brus. Some of the best dialogue I’ve ever
read is between the book’s undermanned heroes and
those between the dreaded villains. By far
Rebel King, Book III, Bannok Burn is the
best of the [authors'] three volumes on Robert de
Bruce, and the first two are page turners in their
own right! The battle is over but the story is not.
Stay tuned.

Everyone knows Diana
Gabaldon!
And here
she is with us in our tent.
July 12th, while at the Grandfather Mountain
Highland Games with fellow author and
oftimes tentmates, Jeanne Treat and
photographer R. Shane Davis, our next-tent
neighbor was Black Bear Books from nearby
Boone. Scott Wheeler, the store's manager,
had invited Diana Gabaldon to the mountain
to sign her books. She graciously came to
our tent for a minute of conversation and a
couple of photographs before accumulating
fans demanded her presence back in the Black
Bear tent. It was a lot of fun and Diana is
charming. Another boon to us is that Black
Bear Books is now carrying our works as
well!
Diana Gabaldon is The New York Times'
best-selling author of the Outlander
series, which tells the story of Jamie
Fraser, a Scots Highlander from the 18th
century, and his time-traveling wife,
Claire. |
WHAT ONE READER SAID...
Thank
you for your wonderful stories. I received Book 3
signed and in perfect shape. I am well into the
story and it lives up to the bar you all have set.
I really love the books. I am an avid Scottish
History and Historical Fiction reader and have a
modest little collection of books. I have to admit
that your books now have earned a place on my
favorites book shelf with Tranter, O’Brian, Barrow, Prebble, McNamee and Young.
Shawn Marchinek
Below is part of Mr. Marchinek's review he posted on
Amazon for our Rebel King, Book One,
Hammer of the Scots...
Robert the Bruce, live and
raw, January 31, 2008
I am a huge Nigel Tranter fan
and hesitated to pick up another
historical fiction account of
the life of Robert Bruce and the
rest of the famous Scots and
English from the early 14th
century. I received the Hammer
of the Scots as a gift and now I
have no regrets. I could not put
the book down. I stayed up late
for a couple of nights until I
finished it... I went back to
read some chapters over again
just to re-live the experience.
In my opinion this is in a
different category from Tranter.
I wouldn't say better but
different. Where as Tranter saw
life through one character and
sometimes a little more
righteous than some would,
Charles and Carolyn Bruce give
us a raw look at believable
people. Each chapter is of a
specific day and from another
characters view point. Most were
actual people but some are
fictitious. All the characters
are believable. They have human
problems, not perfect or
beautiful. They are cold, poor,
hungry or proud, arrogant and
strong. They seem REAL. This
book was a pleasure and a breath
of fresh air to read. The Hammer
of the Scots is full of equal
doses of action and emotion.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
07/18/08 "I am reading a
borrowed copy of Book 1 and
decided at [Grandfather
Mountain Highland] Games to
get book 2. When rains
interrupted and I got home
looked at your web site, I
decided to get all 3 since I
am enjoying my reading so
much. ...every time I put
book down, I can not wait to
pick it back up."
3/18/08 "I was driving down
Kempsville [Road] on March
17th and ended up behind
someone in a black SUV with
RebelKing.com on the back
window. Being a lover of
Scots/Irish history I was
intrigued. Now I think I
might be hooked after
looking over the website for
the past two days."
3/30/08 "Reading it is
almost like being there and
I actually was in the cave
where King Robert watched
the spider when I vacationed
in Scotland in '94 and even
have a picture from being in
the cave and looking out
hanging in my living room.
I am so glad that I ended up
behind the black SUV with
the website advertised on
the back window."
03/14/08 "I read the first
two and greatly enjoyed
them. Just by chance I
checked your web site and
found there was a third
book. I am looking forward
to reading it also."
03/03/08 "I picked up book
one at the North Florida
Games, it was absolutely
wonderful, thank you. Very
much looking forward to the
rest of the series."
2/29/08 "I enjoy your books
immensely. Thanks for
autographing them. I hope
to buy your 4th book at

A short, but true telling
of William Wallace and Andrew Murray and how
they shrewdly brought the English forces to
defeat at the 1297 Battle of Stirling
Bridge. (It is a far cry from the Hollywood
version in Braveheart).
