Highland Rebel, a historical romantic adventure novel, by Scottish author, Loren Teague, will be published to coincide with Tartan Day in April 2006.

The novel, described by the author as a cross between the Last of the Mohicans and Braveheart, is a fictional story about Ewan Cameron, a Highland Chieftain, and the woman he loves, Lizzie Lindsay, both caught up in the infamous Jacobite uprising in 1745.  When the obsessed and unscrupulous army officer, Major Ulverston attempts to destroy Ewan Cameron and his family, they embark on a perilous journey from the Highlands of Scotland to frontier America - and to a destiny they could never have imagined.  They journey to the Mohawk Valley on the American frontier.  A third of the novel is set in Albany and Schenectady and includes a well known historical figure, William Johnson.

Ms. Teague has always been fascinated by the interplay between the Scots and Native Americans having been brought up on films about the wild west.  She says, Western films and literature have always been very popular in Scotland.  Buffalo Bill's Wild West Circus toured Scotland in the early 1900s and had a huge impact on the psyche of the Scottish people and especially my grandfather who went to see the circus when he was a boy.

Ms. Teague originates from the Highlands of Scotland and is now based in New Zealand where she works in the book publishing industry as a manuscript assessor.  Highland Rebel is her second novel and will be published by an American publisher, Whiskey Creek Press, based in Wyoming.

Highland Rebel will be available in paperback or as an ebook direct from Whiskey Creek Press or paperback ordered through bookshops.  More details can be found at Loren Teague's Web site.
