Meet Grace Doucet in CLOSER TO HOME
Grace was Shaw's Office Manager and a brilliant accountant. She and Garrett had been married for twenty-two years and had no children. Shaw was always amused by Grace. She and Bronagh had been best friend since elementary school and was Bronagh's polar-opposite. Grace had a suntanned-complexion, short blonde hair, and she was spunky and high-strung. She had a flair for fashion, and she adored boisterous jewelry and wild footwear. Her husband, Garrett, was a mechanical engineer at an oil refinery in Baton Rouge, and he reminded Shaw of the stereo-typical strong, silent, southern gentlemen.
Bane Shaw's sgian dubh! A thoughtful and lovely gift from my friends at Abbeyhorn! A real treasure!
Sgian Dubh, pronounced Skee-An Doo from the Gaelic meaning black knife or hidden knife originated in the Scottish Highlands, and was hand-fashioned using stag horn. It's early purposes: for eating, for cutting food and material, and for protection. Today, it serves as part of the traditional Scottish attire, customarily tucked into the kilt hose.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know my characters. They are loyal and diverse and home in the confines of the Camelot library
I'd love to. I've been many times. I was born, educated & live in England but have so many more Scottish than English ancestors, characteristics, tastes & ways I feel more Scottish than English. Most of my ancestors moved away from Scotland during the struggles of Argyll. Scotland is a very beautiful place.
It's so good to meet you. I've traveled to Scotland 3 times and hope to hop across the pond again soon. I'm Scots-Irish so I adore both lands. Scotland is indeed beautiful, especially The Highlands, and Edinburgh is as elegant as Glasgow is rebellious.
I'll be posting some pics of Ireland soon! Stay tuned. Thanks for connecting with me!

It's nice talking to you too. I've got Irish ancestry too. I've been all over the Highlands of Scotland & to Edinburgh & Glasgow as well as Perth. Most of my ancestors came from Dunoon. I've seen the Edinburgh tattoo live twice which is absolutely fantastic. I find the Glaswegians very friendly. You're welcome.
