Dunnottar

The whole country is at war. William Keith is the wealthiest man in Scotland but desires only to be the kindest. John, his younger brother, is eager to fight for his country, even if his motives are a little questionable. And Robert, William's oldest, is off to battle, but his mother's only hope is that he finds a wife in the process. Even the most righteous families have dark hidden secrets.

The beheading of a king, four love stories, the hiding of the precious crown jewels, and a charming little red-headed girl--all these should be enough of a mix for a historical novel, especially when it is based on the lore of a family we know. ‘Dunnottar’ the title of this book, is actually the name of the ancient castle, the home of the Keith family…if you are ready for a romantic trip back to 17th century Scotland, here is your ticket.

Janet Elaine Smith became known as a magazine writer but her true love was her novels. “Dunnottar” was her first novel and it soon became the No. 1 Bestselling Scottish novel on Amazon for almost three months. Smith moved from Grand Forks, North Dakota after her husband of forty-two years, Ivan, died to northeast Wisconsin. They spent nine years as missionaries in Venezuela then ran a charitable "Helps" mission in Grand Forks for over thirty-five years. “Dunnottar,” like some of her other novels, is based on her genealogical searches. She has published seventeen additional novels and says she is living her life's dream.
