The last of the Jacobite wars took place on Culloden Moor, Scotland, on the sixteenth of April 1746, leaving a bloody path of devastation, and leaving 1,500 Jacobites dead or dying on the windswept moor in less than an hour. The clans, left without their chief, or protector, were forced to endure royal persecution, murder, starvation, with the homeless compelled to live on the open moors. Driven to desperation, the Highlanders must leave their beloved land if they were to survive. Many believed that if there was freedom to be had, it would be found in the vast wilderness of North Carolina. To escape persecution from the English victors, fourteen-year-old Catriona "Caty" Maclean and her family board ship in 1749 to begin the perilous journey from the Isle of Mull, across turbulent seas, to a new land. Death and destruction follow. On the farm in Cross Creek, North Carolina, Caty finds life intolerable. To wake up every day to backbreaking work, to watch helpless loved ones dying of the fevers almost cost her her own life. It is Caty's independent spirit and strong will, in the end, that keep her alive and capture the love of two men, one whose love will transcend the boundaries of time. There are decisions to be made. Hard decisions. Decisions that will determine the course of Caty's life. A destination that will transport her to a new beginning. A new venture. Caty Maclean is the first book in the Family Saga Series.

As a wife and mother, Caty finds life on a wilderness farm difficult. The dream for a son is tragically dashed when her life is threatened by childbirth, imposing heart-breaking consequences. In the midst of her own battles, the rivalry between France and England over possession of Indian lands triggers continuous Indian uprisings, and eventually war.

On the distant horizon, the winds of change bring revolution ---- another war that will determine the fate of "all" Americans. With cameos of historical characters from young Andrew Jackson to General George Washington ------ along with descriptive battle scenes fought in the south ------ The Winds of Change is a remarkable piece of insight, character, and adventure---- a novel that echoes in the mind long after the last pages are turned.

Originally published in 1977, the objective of this book was to examine the mechanisms by which the multiple factors or determinants – homeostatic deficits, hormonal influences, circadian rhythms, experiential and cognitive factors – become translated by the central nervous system into thermoregulatory, feeding, sexual, aggressive, and other behaviours. A conceptual framework has been used that reflects relevant contributions from biology, regulatory physiology, physiological psychology, and other neuroscience disciplines. The final chapter deals with difficulties in brain-behaviour research in relation to experimental strategies and with crucial problems for future investigation.

This issue features three original stories—a pair of mysteries (by Mindy Quigley and Mark Thielman, thanks to Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), plus John Gregory Betancourt's “Sympathy for Invisible Men,” part of a series of meditations on classic monsters he has been writing for about 30 years now. Plus—if you’ve been following the lamentations of science fiction magazines about AI submissions—you will find Norman Spinrad’s essay on the subject fascinating. And of course there is plenty of great reading from old masters like Robert E. Howard and Marie Beloc Lowndes and (relatively) newer writers like Robert Abernathy, Stephen Marlowe, and Louis Carbonneau. Of course, no issue is complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles, too! Here’s the complete lineup: Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure: “The Meeting,” by Mark Thielman [Michael Bracken Presents short story] “The Case of the Patriotic Pilferage,” Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] “Worth the Wait,” by Mindy Quigley [Barb Goffman Presents short story] The Terriford Mystery, by Marie Belloc Lowndes [novel] Essay: “Save the SF Magazines from AI, Amazon, And SFWA?” by Norman Spinrad Science Fiction & Fantasy: “Sympathy for Invisible Men,” by John Gregory Betancourt [short story] “Righteous Plague,” by Robert Abernathy [novella] “Fugue,” by Stephen Marlowe [novella] “Skulls in the Stars,” by Robert E.
