Produktbeschreibung

The king is dead, long live the king! With those fateful words Scotland would never be the same again. For Gregor MacGregor, the proud chief of Clan Gregor, whom had already found himself amidst a heated border struggle with the rival Clan Campbell, those words were all the more dire. When the ill news of King William's death, along with that of his heir, Prince David, reached Gregor's home at Glenorchy the chief was stunned to realize he had been proclaimed king in Edinburgh. Married to the late king's eldest daughter he suddenly found himself thrust into a role he had neither sought nor wanted, but he was a man born to honour and duty. The task of securing the throne would not be easy as his enemies gathered under the banner of Domeric Campbell, Duke of Argyll, and would do everything in their power to see that the crown never sat upon his head!

Autorenporträt

Author Biography

Sean Helms is the author of The Clans Conflict, a work that he started many years ago while still in the U. S. Army and stationed at Fort Ord, California. In a mostly empty barracks at Christmas in 1984, and with nothing better to do to take his mind away from the loneliness he felt at being so far away from family for the first time, he began the first handwritten draft of his first novel. Untrained in creative writing he forged ahead with the project, his only teachers being those of whom he had read so many fine books. He believed if they could write entertaining stories then he could as well; everyone has to start somewhere, right? He had always been blessed with a vivid and fertile imagination and he began putting it to good use. The novel ended with 256 hand-written pages.
By 1993, Sean had finished the second draft of his novel, this time using a word-processing typewriter, which was much easier on the hand! He knew it was still a work in progress, although he allowed a select few to read the manuscript. The Clans Conflict sat for several years, all but forgotten, as he began other projects including a sequel to his first novel as well as a novel pertaining to the Jacobites of Scottish history and their charismatic leader, Bonny Prince Charlie.
In 2010 the creative juices again began to flow and now, armed with a wonderful and sleek, new computer, he returned to writing with a gusto. He bent his mind to editing and writing the final draft of his original novel which ended up growing in volume despite all of the revisions he had undertaken, thanks to the input of those whom he had asked to read the previous draft. He has recently finished the sequel to The Clans Conflict, which is entitled: The Lord-Protector's War.
Still an avid reader of fantasy, Sean also enjoys submerging himself in works of history, particularly Scottish and Celtic history. Having accumulating a substantial trove of books, many of them read more than once, he has laden bookcases covering much of the walls of his home like a personal library.
Sean lives alone and reads about fantastical worlds of knights, elves, and dwarves when not busy writing within those worlds of his own creation.
Sean is blessed by two grown daughters, a granddaughter and a grandson; he has two terrific brothers he considers his best friends and great parents that know all his quirks and still love him despite it all.
He lives in rural southeastern...
