Novel Excerpt -- Ingram

"Lowrens’ young and only brother Ingram lives in Kilmarnock, whom is a law enforcer that no longer forcibly upholds the law. He passively watches over the valleys to make sure they stay peaceful with two others that help, but are never around when he needs them.

Once in a while, Ingram visits the Murreff farm and brings news of the events that filter to the city. His nephew, Duncan always is intrigued by the news of what is happening with the war for independence. Their conversations of the events, extend late into the nights, have created a bond between the two as close friends. Lowrens is not too fond of it, yet keeps from the interactions. Lowrens is not as disposed as one might think a brother bond would have to his brother, yet an occasional conversation will pass between them. He is afraid that his convictions of the battles have caused interest in Duncan to fight in the war as well. It was not his intention to drive his nephew into such a thing and feels that Murron is unhappy with him for this action. She has assured him that Duncan is making his own decision for this matter and hopes that her father will provide help and thus Duncan will do the same if his father needs help as well."
