Suppose you are a modern person in the contemporary world and find yourself possessed of a power that obeys no logic and resists scientific examination. You can't provide proof of your ability, and the timing of the fulfillment is uncertain, but what you foresee always happens. David McIntosh was a normal, healthy kid for his first thirteen years. All that changes when he sees a black spot on his best friend's head. An hour later, his friend dies. David takes on guilt for his friend's death but tries to get on with life.The grief fades, the future beckons, then the spots strike again--twice! On a sports star and the mother of one of his friends. Both die, and David is left reeling.Blessed on one hand by success in business and love, David is also cursed by his ability. David struggles to find meaning in his curse through loves lost, trauma, the death of friends and family, and hardship. When his Grandmother dies, she leaves a letter containing clues about where he might find answers, sending David and his wife on a quest. The journey reveals an ancient matriarchal Celtic faith, that his an da shelladh (2nd sight) has a long history in Scotland, and that the sight often passes within families. As time goes by, he's relieved that his ability doesn't seem to have passed on to another generation--or has it? Rich in the history of Scotland and ancient faiths, An da Shelladh is a saga of love, suffering, self-discovery, and finding meaning in hardship that will leave the reader asking, what would I do in that situation?

A physically and mentally wounded Vietnam veteran is thrust back into the civilian life and into the dynamic changes of the investment industry of the 1970s and 80s. In Vietnam, he flew for the 101st Airborne Division. Now Lt. Phil Johnson awakens in a hospital bed, disoriented and in terrible pain. Wounded in mind and body, he faces a long road to recovery, facing PTSD and a potentially devastating physical loss. But the trauma of his combat experiences barely scratch the surface of what lies ahead. He discovers his college education and military experience amount to zilch in the job market he faces. His painful introversion works against him in the dynamic post war world which seems in conflict with his personality and beliefs. When one of the richest men in the world gives him a job it is total surprise. To succeed, he will need to learn new skills and adapt to massive changes in society. Difficulties await him as old habits and past events return to haunt him. He must summon up the courage that served him well in Vietnam to overcome the challenges of the financial world, and to make a decision that could change his life forever.
