Book Description
During the turbulent sixties, young Danny Coyne and his family move from the city of Glasgow to the Scottish suburbs. There he finds real friendship and religious bigotry in equal measure. He befriends Ray Shaughnessy, and the two became as close as brothers. Danny and Ray learn to survive everything life has to throw at them-until the day a local gang attack Ray and leave him for dead. In a fury of revenge, Danny is recruited by the Provisional IRA. He is trained to become a sleeper agent by the shady SA. After his first terrorist act, he realizes the terrible choice he has made, but blackmail prevents him from leaving the organization. With the help of one his targets, an MI6 agent, Danny flees Scotland to begin life anew in New Zealand under an assumed identity. But when the Provos find out where he is, Danny finds himself a pawn in an even deadlier game. About the Author: Gerry Cassidy grew up in a small town in the west of Scotland before immigrating to New Zealand fifteen years ago. He has spent the last thirty-five years working in the telecommunications industry and only recently became inspired to write. Though From Glasgow to Ghost is largely fictional, there are a number of incidents within its pages that are based on actual events, including those from Cassidy's own life experiences in Scotland and New Zealand. Cassidy's next writing project is a murder mystery that centers on Kiwi rookie cops trying to stop a serial killer.

Book Description
Part travelogue, part diary, part poetry, history and genealogy With an Introduction by Ted Cowan, Scottish historian, University of Glasgow SUMMARY An American poet who, according to family tradition, is related to the iconic poet Robert Burns, embarks upon a life-changing adventure through Scotland to find the lost connections to his immigrant forebears. From Bannockburn to Culloden, Edinburgh to Stirling to Inverness and Skye, Glencoe and Loch Lomond, Glasgow and Dumfries, each page reveals another thread of the lore and the mystery, offering a fresh perspective on the times, the places and the people that are woven into the beautiful tapestry that is Scotland. As an historical snapshot in time, this book will have significant social and cultural relevance for Scotland and the UK in times to come. PRAISE FOR THE GHOST OF RABBIE BURNS "A wonderful book of poetry and a great asset if you are making a trip to Scotland." Duke of Argyll, Chief of Clan Campbell "Laurence is a true sennachie, a genealogist as well as a bard." Ted Cowan, Emeritus professor of Scottish history and literature, University of Glasgow "touchingly sincere and thoughtful... laced with a wry but kindly humour." Isla St Clair, singer and broadcaster "Historically interesting and accurate... a passionate perspective of olden Caledonia." Steve McDonald, composer, Sons of Somerled "an amusing, heartfelt, historical journey that every exile should take. Weel duin, Laurence." Iain H Scott, Scocha "Overmire has captured that idea of the warrior/poet/wanderer so many of us dream of being. We can live the adventure of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge, or the devotion of Greyfriars Bobby, or the heartbreak of Culloden. Whither from your armchair at home with a glass of single malt in your hand, or on the plane ride over for your own first Scottish Adventure, I would highly recommend Overmire's capture of his own 'first trip home'." Eric Bullard, President, Clan Buchanan Society Intl., Inc. "an engaging meditation on Scotland, its history, places and people." Rev. Calum I. MacLeod, Minister of St. Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh "The imagery evoked in his verse and the moral lessons imparted by Laurence represent the message of Robert Burns for the modern time." Mark Myers, President, Clan Maclean Association of California, USA "Much of Burns' collected works were captured during his tours of Scotland... this book captures the mood very well as a trail through Scotland." Jock Meikle, President of the Burns Club of London "Overmire uncovers the heart of each place he visits and helps us know the very soul of this country." Anita Scott-Philbrick, Ph.D, Deputy Chieftain, Clan Scott Society "Overmire has captured what it is like for those with even a trace of Scottish heritage to long for a connection with their ancestral roots... It is refreshing to view history in the context of poetry." Larry Bardell, President, Oregon Scottish Society "This book is a poetic, informed and sensitive testament to Scotland - its history, its art, its enduring values, its conflicts, and its spirituality." Weeden Nichols, F.S.A. Scot., President, Clan MacLeod Society USA "always with an ear/eye on literary or musical echoes... this poet is interested in connections, not separations." Dr. Keith Hughes, English Literature, University of Edinburgh "The art of painting into words my homeland and its history was well done and should be experienced by all whose blood runs 'Per Mare Per Terras'." Chevalier Dr. Gregory A. McDonald, D.D.S., K.T.J., formerly Ohio Deputy Commissioner, Clan Donald "It's a pleasant book to curl up with on a cold winter's evening in front of the fireplace, or at the beach on a sunny summer day." Margaret Frost, Chairman, Scottish American Society, President, American Clan Cumming Association

Book Description
There has been an upsurge in books, television programmes, films and websites exploring the reality or otherwise of the spirit world. Not since the founding of The Ghost Club in 1862 and the Society for Psychical Research in 1882 has ghost hunting been so popular. Television and the internet, in particular, have fueled this new level of interest, creating a modern media phenomenon that spans the globe. But while the demand for information is high, good information remains scarce. A Brief Guide to Ghost Hunting leads us through the process of ghost hunting, from initially weighing the first report, to choosing equipment, and investigating and identifying the phenomena, with an analysis of the best places to go looking, methods of contacting the spirit world, how to explain paranormal activity and, crucially, how to survive the encounter. However, it is also a book about ghost hunting itself, drawing on 130 years of research in the cavernous archives of the Society for Psychical Research and even older history to find the earliest ghost stories. A Ghost Hunting Survey makes use of interviews with those billing themselves as ghost hunters to find out their views, motivations and experiences. New and original research makes use of statistics to map the nebulous world of apparitions while a Preliminary Survey of Hauntings offers an analysis of 923 reported phenomena from 263 locations across the UK. This is, as far as possible, an objective presentation of ghosts and ghost hunting. It is no wonder that mainstream science largely refuses to deal with the subject: it is too complicated. Without trying to convince you of any viewpoint, this book is intended to help you understand more.
