The Clanlands Almanac: Seasonal Stories from Scotland by Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish

The follow-up to the quarter of a million-copy-selling Sunday Times and New York Times number one best-selling Clanlands. Sam and Graham turn tour guides once again to bring listeners more epic tales from Scotland.

A seasonal meander through the wilds of Scotland. 

'If Clanlands was a gentle road trip through Scotland, this Almanac is a top-down, pedal to the metal up and down odyssey through the many byways of a Scottish year. An invitation to anyone who picks up the book to join us on a crazy camper van exploration over 12 glorious, whisky-fuelled months. Mountains, battles, famous (and infamous) Scots, the alarming competitiveness of Men in Kilts, clans, feuds, flora, fauna, with a healthy sprinkling of embarrassing personal reminiscences thrown in. Much is explored, all is shared. It is a camper van cornucopia of all things Alba.'

From First Footing to Samhain, Fringe Festival follies to whisky lore, Sam and Graham guide listeners through a year of Scottish legends, traditions, historical and contemporary events, sharing personal stories and tips as only these two chalk-and-cheese friends can.

As entertaining as it is practical, The Clanlands Almanac is a light-hearted education in Scottish history and culture, told through the eyes of two passionate Scotsmen. The perfect escapist guide, The Clanlands Almanac is intended as a starting point for your own Scottish discoveries.

The history, traditions, legends, & culture were all so intriguing as well as your storytelling. Oh, the personal stories were epic. They are a HOOT! I'll have to hire them both as guides. A Hillbilly Gal & the Scots, now that is a combo.

Mr. Corporate (The Mister Series Book 3) by JA Huss

Victoria is self-made, super-competitive, super-aggressive, and currently drowning in debt when she suddenly finds herself battling with her ex, Weston Conrad (AKA Mr. Corporate), for a job that could literally change her destiny. She was there when the whole college scandal went down at Brown University and the Misters got their infamous nicknames. She saw the whole thing. And she always knew Weston was innocent. But there were other things happening that night. Things in her world. Things in his world. And he always was a bit cagey about his past. That was a long time ago now. She had moved on because let’s face it—the two of them were never going to work. They are fire and ice because Weston wants a girl who  needs  him and Victoria can handle things just fine on her own, thank you. But now Weston is back in her life and somehow, someway, he brought all her old secrets with him.

Mr. Mysterious (The Mister Series Book 4) by JA Huss

Cindy is a girl who goes after her dream no matter what. (Even if it is pure fantasy). And she set her sights on her brother’s best friend, Paxton Vance, a long time ago. She does not give a single **** about the best friend’s-little-sister rule. And sure, they call him Mr. Mysterious for a reason. He’s a “Hollywood fixer”. He handles all the celebrity mistakes in LA. He’s dangerous, and moody, and probably shouldn’t be drinking whiskey for breakfast. But lucky him—she’s willing to be his partner. Everyone needs a team, right? She’s not afraid of a little scandal. Her last name is Shrike. She grew up the daughter of an infamous biker. And anyway, no one’s just gonna hand you your “dream”. You have to make that sh*t happen. So what if Pax thinks she’s delusional? Her parents didn’t name her after a Disney princess just so she could live an ordinary life, now did they? She’s one-hundred-percent confident that good old Mr. Mysterious can hold his own against her brother, Mr. Match.
