Highland Passage [Kindle Edition]

J.L. Jarvis (Author)

What would you risk to find love?

Mackenzie Cooper has had it with romance. On her way home from another blind date arranged by her well-meaning sister, she is caught in a snowstorm. While maneuvering the twists and turns of the icy road, Mackenzie loses control of her car and crashes into the rocky hillside.

When a rugged Scotsman pulls her to safety, Mackenzie is sure she must be hallucinating. Through the storm’s fury, he takes her to shelter in one of the mysterious stone chambers scattered throughout Putnam County, New York. Snowbound, Mackenzie must wait out the storm with this strange, kilted man who claims to be a Highlander from eighteenth-century Scotland. By morning, she not only believes Ciarán MacRae’s story but has also lost her heart just in time for him to kiss her, promise his love—and then vanish.

Unable to forget him, Mackenzie returns again and again to the stone chamber, hoping to unlock the secret of Ciarán’s disappearance. But if she does, she will have to decide whether her fierce feelings for Ciarán are worth abandoning all that she knows to travel through time to find her gallant Scotsman.

Shattered Window – Joshua Sylcox

Joshua Sylcox

If my window was shattered by life,

Would you stay? Walk out the door,

Never look back,

Not stay

Would you stay?

Help me glue the peaces,

Back into the frame,

Would I be left behind just sitting?

Alone in the glass of life,

Hoping that everything will be alright,

While I sit staring,

Out a broken window of life.

Tales from the Village Green: Collected Tales, Volume 1 brings together the first five of Michael White’s well-loved cricket stories, stories of friendship, heroism, and fierce battles on the cricket pitch.

Included in this collection:

“Never Give Up”: After another poor performance, John is dropped from Welmsworth Seconds, and at 61 years old thinks his career in village cricket might be over for good. Then he gets one last chance to prove himself.

“The Substitute”: Mewteth Seconds are one player short for the game that could decide which team goes up and which team goes down from Cornish League Seven East. Mewteth’s captain has found a substitute player, but only if Trevor, the captain of Ramswell Seconds, agrees. The guy has an unusual name, but what does it matter? He’s never played cricket before.

“The Twelfth Man”: Kevin Green is his school cricket team’s perennial twelfth man. On the unlikely occasions that he gets to play, he bats eleven, doesn’t bowl, and fields at fine leg. Then one day, his form teacher, Mr. Woodhouse, asks him to play a real game – for Highfield’s men’s team. Kevin finally has a chance to prove he can play, but will he end up as hero or zero?

“Searching for W.G.”: Jimmy Wentworth is known as a stonewaller and has no chance of making the team for the Twenty20 Knockout Cup final. That is until he receives a mysterious message, and begins to grow a rather famous beard.

“Grandad’s Old Bat”: Kenny is looking forward to trying out for his school team. What he’s not looking forward to is using his grandad’s tatty old bat. Used during his grandad’s only first class century, Kenny isn’t convinced that if he uses the bat special things could happen.
