Have been busy with my book Finding the McCains. It is done for better or worse. First letter out to a publisher this week. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed. I needs the paycheque. Nice to have the book finished, now on to the next writing project, a short history of the Laggan Redshanks.
The book is part memoir and part history. The memoir chronicles my 40 year odyssey to find our McCain family in Ireland and then a sort history of the family from mid Argyll circa early 1400s right up to the Mississippi McCains, including John McCain's presidential bid, in 2008. The book is not a genealogy, just an account of why and how I found our cousins in Ireland and then the curious tale of a Highland Scottish family that were involved with important events in the 1500s surrounding Mary Queen of Scots, the Earl of Argyll and the famous Iníon Dubh. And how we went from that to Mississippi. Including is the famous Austin Rock's eerie encounters at Loughcrew and more.
