He was able to perform his duties in a quiet, unostentatious way, endearing himself to many friends by his homely walk and conversation. He recalled with great regard the following names of Abdie Parish: Russell of Parkhill; Christie of Lindores; Pitcairn of Kinnaird; Lady Maitland of Lindores House; Wilson of Inchrye Abbey; Murray of Aytoun and Buist of Braeside and many others of the parish. For sixty-three years the Reverend Dr. John Duncan served as minister of Abdie Parish and served also as chaplain of the Abdie Curling Club of which he was a keen curler for fifty-eight years. During the last year of his life, the venerable minister became the Father of the Church of Scotland. He was ordained in 1839, five years before the Disruption and when not performing his ministerial duties could be found in his garden next to the manse where he tended his flowers and many varieties of roses of which he was quite fond of. Duncan was a noted horticulturalist of the area and a long-standing member of the North of Fife Horticultural Society. In 1843 he married Margaret Walker Bisset, the only daughter of William Bisset, Esq., and they had five children who were all born at the manse of Abdie Parish. The Duncan's were married for fifty-nine years and celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1893. In his long service in the ministry, he witnessed many changes that he has seen and lived to reminisce about in his later years. One such account occurred upon his arrival at the old manse where he spent his first night in June of 1839. At the time the old manse was in a state of total disrepair. "'The first night that I slept in the old manse I was repeatedly awakened by a strange rattling noise. The appearance of my bedroom added to the eeriness for across the door inside was a strong iron bar. In the morning, I determined to find out the cause of my disturbance, and, as often happens, the explanation was very simple. There was an attic upstairs, and in the door leading to it, my predecessor had cut out a big hole to let his cat out and in by. This hole was covered by a piece of wood hung upon a nail, and the wind blowing through caused the constant rattle that had given me a very restless night. But for my investigations, I might have believed the house was haunted." Reverend Duncan devoted himself to the care of his parish for sixty-three years with a fatherly regard for the interests of all and played an important role in Abdie Parish. This then is the narrative of the life and times of the Reverend Dr. John Duncan.

Dear Journal, for as long as I can remember, my family and I would spend the week of Christmas at our beach house with my family's lifelong friends, the Arthur's. Even when I moved to Los Angeles when I was thirteen, I would still meet up with my parents and the Arthur's. While I have always gotten along with Aunt Pam and Uncle Peter, I have never really gotten along with their son, Phillip. In fact, we would bicker and pick at each other every chance that we got Today, however, something awesome happened: Phillip and I came to a truce and decided to stop bickering, Quickly, I had realized why I would bicker with Phillip, and it was not because he is three years older than me. It was because I have secretly been in love with him this entire time Even though it scares me a little, it also makes me very excited -Addie xoxo

Addie Joss (1880-1911) mowed down batters for the Cleveland Broncos/Naps from 1902 to 1910 before his career was cut short by his tragic death from tubercular meningitis in 1911. With a career ERA of 1.89 and two no-hitters, Joss earned Hall of Fame election despite a career that lasted less than ten years, the only player to do so. In the off-season, Joss also excelled as a sportswriter for the Toledo News-Bee and the Cleveland Press, filling the empty winter months penning stories about the game he knew firsthand. This collection of Joss's newspaper columns and World Series reports is a treasury of the deadball era with intimate first-person observations of the game and its players from the first decade of the American League. Informative annotations, archival photographs, and a brief biography complete the work.

I live with a pack of misfit shifters. Freaks. Rogues. Oddballs. Prey. Runts. Deformed. We're all welcome in Pack Aberrant. We aren't going to be winning any popularity contests, but our hodgepodge bunch is more loyal than even the strongest pred packs. I should know. I grew up in one of them. As soon as they realized I was different, I was despised, even by my own family. So I left, joined Pack Aberrant, and I've steered clear of alpha pred assholes ever since. Until my heatwave hits, and I accidentally jump three coyote shifters in a parking lot. Whoopsie. Once they realize what my animal is, they're gonna kick me to the curb just like every other pred shifter has. And my old pack? They come back to haunt me. I'm unwanted by the three hotties, threatened by my old pack, and to top it all off, I have to find a new job because I attacked a bank robber. Accidentally. Being a misfit really sucks sometimes. Author's Note: Addie's story is book one in the Pack of Misfits series. Every book will be a standalone for that character, but a continuation of the Pack Aberrant story. Book one is a reverse harem with multiple love interests with the main character. However, this is not a reverse harem series. Some main characters in this series will have monogamous relationships. *This is intended for ages 18 and older due to sexual content and strong language.
