Megan, yes, please do get in touch with my via davidgibson2420@yahoo.com. Which James McFarlane? My great-grandfather James 1864-1953, his father James 1832-1911, or my grandfather's brother James 1895-1979?

My late Grandfather Aymer McFarlane told me before he died a family secret that my Great-Great-Great Grandfather, James McFarlane (b. 1747) had settled in the Scottish village of Johnshaven after escaping the press-gangs in Dundee, changing his name from James Wilson to James McFarlane on way. I've been sketching out ideas of turning this into a novel I hope to write someday. What do you think?

Anytime I read something related to the book I'm currently working on I just want to write about it and bring it into the text of the manuscript. Also, I'm inspired by reading the work of other authors and I want to emulate them.

I like reading fictional crime books, I'm a botanist and teach a forensic botany course. The book I'm writing brings these things together.
