By the way, the next book in this new saga, tentatively titled The Rebel , is already scheduled for publication in July 2002. Oh, one last bit of writing news. Our first title with them, tentatively titled Storm, will be a September 2002 release. And for those of you who are Macpherson clan devotees, Storm will be the story of Colin Macpherson, the youngest son of Alex and Fiona from Angel of Skye , and of a young woman who was washed ashore on the Isle of May years before. On the personal side, our boys young men manage to delight and entertain and keep us busy during all the non-writing times.
Music is still big part of their life.
This year Cyrus added baritone sax to the list of instruments that he plays, and he is having a great time playing it with the Jazz band. The most memorable moment for us, though, was listening to him play a clarinet solo for Moonlight Serenade in a concert this Spring. Needless to say, Jim and I went through a few tissues during the concert. Samuel also started playing violin with the school orchestra last fall. We were also very proud parents as he scored perfect in a piano competition this past March.
