Here are a few excerpts to whet your appetite:


"In legend Dunvegan was once the home of Morag of Dunvegan.......... The tune was allegedly composed by a young man left on Skye by his sweetheart who had emigrated to America."

Pitlochry, Scotland 1878........

"He dressed like a Texan. He wore tall top cowboy boots and a broad brimmed ten-gallon Stetson most of the time. He had several well-made Western suits tailored in Ft. Worth, which he wore when the occasion called for it."

Inverness, Scotland 1899
The Northern Meeting

""Kilts?" Billy asked.
"Hell yes!" Pate replied."

"Frank Simmons stood at the wheel of The Rae......morning sky twinkled off the sea. The weather was fine! A 10 knot wind off the starboard beam......."

"They broke the embrace......sweetly held her chin in one hand, looking wistfully into her eyes......delicately brushed her bottom lip with his thumb."

As an experienced blue water sailor in the Gulf of Mexico, one of the things I found necessary to learn about was rum. Here are my findings after years of exhaustive research.

1.Best rums are dark.

2. Rum goes good with lemonade, fruit juice, or Coca Cola among other things.

3. Best rums are made in Barbados or Jamaica.

4. British Navy Pusser's Rum is pretty dang good. It was a crucial element in building an Empire. The British Admiralty first served rum daily to its Royal Navy sailors for over 300 years until the ration was abolished in 1970.

There are only three brands of rum I drink, they are:

1. Cockspur Rum from Barbados produced by Hanschell Inniss Ltd. since 1884.

2. Pusser's Rum British Navy Rum made from the same blend of five West Indian rums as the British Admiralty issued to sailors.

3. Myer's Original Dark Rum produced in Jamaica since 1879.

All of these rums have at various times and occasions, served me well. I'm a simple guy, three options are enough for anybody (my opinion).

Thanks for checking me out!
Your pal,
Sam

Sam is not all about books, he is a Highlander fan; enjoy playing bagpipes, and a motorcycle addict. According to his followers, he has the tendency to include life lessons in his stories; for instance, KINJITSU is a tale of deceit, desire, and struggle, though Frank Simmons is a fictional character, he represents the modern real-life man and his experiences are full of trials, tribulations, and success that each human being goes through. Sam’s passion about the old Western stories began when he was just 13 years of age and unlike the boring cowboy stories you have come across, the author has a different vivid imagination of ranchers, leather craftsmen, and oil folks from centuries ago. Welcome to Sam Skinner’s world of enchanting tales, outstanding gifts, and a chance to meet the man himself.

Wouldn’t it be nice if our favorite cowboy on paper came to life somehow? Ever since I wrote Bob Wire, I hoped there might come a day when readers could see him somewhere other than on the page. Well, that day has finally come. Daydream no more, because Bob Wire is on the way to making his debut on screen. We’re more than excited to watch Bob and his friends in action, in a series of animated shorts (should I say short films?) in the upcoming weeks. Stay on your toes, because I will be posting the first video very soon!

P.S. There will be more where that came from. Check back on my social media to stay up-to-date with the latest videos of Bob Wire and his heroic adventures!
