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.

At the tender age of 14, Thomas Duncan (1846-1931) was swept up in the fierce winds of civil war as the United States was ripped apart by sectional strife. He had no idea what lay ahead of him as he rushed to defend his home soil of Mississippi. Indeed, his service in the Confederate Army would carry him into some of the most important battles of the American Civil War. Serving under the military genius Nathan Bedford Forrest, Duncan would find himself far from home and under fire at such places as Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Rienzi, Murfreesboro, Perryville, campaigns through West and Middle Tennessee, Chickamauga, Fort Pillow, Brice's Crossroads, Harrisburg, Tupelo, and Sulphur Trestle, Alabama. The young scout and soldier witnessed dramatic events like the pursuit of the Streight Raiders and the historic raids into Memphis, North Alabama, and Middle Tennessee. Duncan survived many harrowing experiences during the war. He lived another seventy years after his enlistment in the Confederate Army. At the age of seventy-six, he penned these Recollections, first published in 1922. Duncan relates his experiences in a genuinely reflective way. There is no bitterness or rancor in his written voice as he tells an informative and interesting account of a young Mississippi boy far from home, defending his native region. His story is his own, recounted with a vividness and reflection that is only possible with the passage of years. With the publication of this edition of Recollections of Thomas D. Duncan, it is the hope of the publishers that it will reach a wider audience who can carry his words with them long after they've visited the battlefields and locations he writes about.

Starting a new job at the prestigious People's Theater, Erica Duncan soon finds that the position holds more drama than she expected when Claudia, one of her co-workers, is brutally murdered, her body staged in a manner that echoes the company's upcoming new musical Michelangelo. Erica is stunned and shares details of the crime with her actor boyfriend Alan, who made his name in one of the People's productions. He advises Erica to lay low and just do her job--which is taking orders from her immediate superior, Dessie Harris, a feisty former actress who is the power behind the People's boss, Alexa Wallace, a seemingly unflappable business woman. Erica has a front row seat as the murder investigation unfolds, and she soon discovers there were any number of people at the People's Theater who might have bashed in poor Claudia's head. Working in the main office where she overhears many pertinent conversations, along with updates on the police investigation, Erica soon develops her own ideas about the identity of Claudia's killer--and she resolves to test her theory.
Entrepreneur, serial-dating Stevi Hague loves life, but she's currently running on empty. Who knew owning and running the trendy, upscale bar-the Mississippi Queen-with her sister and cousin wouldn't be enough for her? Throw in some fun nightlife and dating adventures with friends and friends of friends, and Stevi had assumed she was all set for her own brand of happily-ever-after. Enter her sister's new love and the baby they're expecting and suddenly, Stevi thinks she might need more from her own life. Add in some heavy-duty flirting with sexy bartender, Duncan Marks, and Stevi finds herself a flustered mix of emotions that she isn't sure how to maneuver. After all, Duncan's not just a sexy guy good for a fun-while-it-lasts fling. He's her cousin's stepbrother, Stevi's known him for years, and she loves him like family. Not to mention, he's an integral part of the Queen's success.If Stevi indulges in a fling with Duncan, and it doesn't work out, they have the potential to bring the Queen down and ruin their family business.Duncan Marks can't keep his eyes off Stevi anymore. He's tired of trying to behave. Stevi's a beautiful, lively woman, and she's flirting back, which means she's ready to play, right? The trouble is, Duncan would have no mercy for another man who looked at Stevi this way, and he knows they're playing with fire. When a friendly game of bar dice pushes them into dangerous territory, Duncan promises he can handle a steamy fling and walk away with no hard feelings. But the closer he gets to Stevi, the more he wants from her, maybe even forever.
