K.L. Huntley, whose career has stretched across from the music industry to prison employee and then to a rural K-12 teacher in Montana, has penned a unique novel about a fascinating historical figure that she came across while researching her Scottish genealogy.
Misneach, The Story of Flora MacDonald is a well-researched, fast-paced, and accurate work of historical fiction that highlights the amazing real-life story of an incredibly strong, literate, courageous, and resilient woman who played key roles in both the history of Scotland and the American Revolution.
The book details MacDonald’s risky actions three centuries ago to aid Prince John Edward Stuart. She became a hero for the Scottish people who believed that Stuart was the rightful heir to the throne. However, when news of her actions reached the British government, she was concerned that she would be arrested. The book also details her life after the incident. Eventually, she and her family moved to the American colonies. During this time, the Revolutionary War is just beginning. She faced extreme difficulties in a new country when her husband decided to enlist in the British Army.
All of the characters in this novel were actual people with the exception of one mixed-race woman, who was needed to tie events together. Misneach is the word for courage in Gaelic and certainly describes MacDonald, whose courage was called upon multiple times during her lifetime. She was a major player assisting in the escape of Prince Stuart after the Battle of Culloden and then, after immigrating to the colonies, became embroiled in the American Revolution.

Bestselling Authors Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll, Jr. Return to Release Ghosts of Panama from Harper Select on November 19, 2024
After the success of their first book, Ghosts of Honolulu, the NCIS team reunite to tell the gripping story of Naval Investigative Service agents working the most dangerous beat in the world - the narco-state of Panama in the late 1980s.
Harper Select will publish the next installment from Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll, Jr., Ghosts of Panama: A Strongman Out of Control, A Murdered Marine, and the Special Agents Caught in the Middle of an Invasion, on November 19, 2024. Panama, 1989. The once warm relationship between United States and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. Newly elected President George H.W. Bush has declared the strongman a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections. Intimidation on the streets is a daily reality for U.S. personnel and their families. The nation is a powder keg.
Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent Rick Yell has worked the job in Panama since 1986, and lives there with his wife Annya and infant child. Like most NIS agents, he's a civilian with no military rank with a specialty in working criminal cases. The dynamic changes suddenly when Yell inadvertently develops an intelligence source with unparalleled access to the Noriega regime. Now the agent is thrust into a world of spy-versus-spy, of secret meetings and hidden documents.
Yell's source - known as "The Old Man" - warns when Cuban military personnel arrive and identifies anti-American officers within the Panamanian Defense Forces, and helps track Noriega's movements, agitating for the dictator's kidnapping. The reports created by Yell and his NIS colleagues shape the decisions made in Washington D.C., CIA headquarters in Langley and the innermost sanctums of Pentagon.
The powder keg is lit on December 16, 1989, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. Yell and his cadre of trusted agents deploy immediately to investigate the killing, and what they determine will decide the fate of two nations. When President Bush hears the details they uncover, he orders an invasion that puts Yell's family, informants and fellow agents directly in harm's way.
Using a blend of research and interviews with the NIS agents who were directly involved, Ghosts of Panama reveals the untold, clandestine story of counterintelligence professionals placed in a pressure cooker assignment of historic proportions.
