Book 7: HEAVENLY HIGHLANDS (novel; currently being revised) ——- Excerpt : "No problem," Gerard Abercrombie said from where he sank onto the soft couch. Gaining entry to the lad's house certainly was too easy, he noted. Now, Danny's sister just offered coffee. A scone and clotted cream would go nicely with the steaming brew. But Yanks ruined scones with bits of herbs and spices. The water trilled in the kitchen beyond the granite bar where the lass worked. "What's up with that computer?" Twila called. "I couldn't turn it off. Why don't you guys take the beast for posterity? Open a FBI museum with confiscated items. Jaws would be your star gizmo." That the machine would. But the FBI has no knowledge of my visit. "Couldn't turn it off, eh? Shall I try?" Danny and his teenage antics. Still driving his sister insane from halfway across the planet. I gulped down a chuckle. "Anyone else would undoubtedly be successful," she chattered on. "Computers are nothing more than word processors to me, and Jaws has a mind of his own." Really? "I can have him decommissioned if you like." The savory aroma of roasted coffee beans wafted the beautiful Twila back into the room. She strode to the blue armchair and claimed a seat. Crossing her legs like a matron. Excellent. The lass will lose her blue jeans in retraining. Otherwise, she will enjoy the transition.
