Berwick Rangers, England's only expatriate football club, have been ploughing a lone furrow in the Scottish league for more than a century. In The Lone Rangers, journalist and lifelong Berwick fan Tom Maxwell explores the confused national identity of Berwick-upon-Tweed and its unique football team a side for whom every fixture is an international. With a foreword by Jim Jefferies and featuring exclusive interviews with a host of Berwick legends, as well as former international stars such as Gary Lineker, Ally McCoist and Trevor Steven, The Lone Rangers is one of a kind.

The Swing Movement -- all jazz hands and high-waisted pants -- advanced and receded in good order.
 I wrote this book to tell the other side of the story. I want you to know about the oddball collection of iconoclasts who got together and made the Squirrel Nut Zippers what they were: a combustible, improbable gumbo of joy and menace. Along the way, I write about our many influences: jazz and blues and hot music and calypso and, yes, swing.
 Come run these fields, like rabbits, while the harvest moon hangs caught in the branches. Come linger over this snapshot.

I Put My Feelings in Everyone We never know when, what or where we may be when something will influence us to make changes or try something new to bring out a hidden talent The experiences we have had during our time create and expand our thoughts and how we think with our mind It was a late hot August day in the year of 2002. I received a sad phone call from a good friend, Randy (Rudy) who called to tell me about Jamie (Jamies Song) passing away. I could tell by his voice he was hurting. Something told me to write him a song to make him feel better. I had never written before, but when I started, it seemed so easy, as if it was something I was supposed to do in this life. It only took about an hour and a half to finish. One thing I believe that has helped me is I stopped watching television, none at all, around five years ago. That has let me open my mind to new ideas about what is real in this life. We all have a purpose for why we are here, and it is up to us to take time to discover what it may be. This life is real, not practice for another time. None of us can recycle a wasted day. I enjoyed writing so much I have never stopped I hope you enjoy reading the pieces I have included in this my first published book, and that they touch your feelings, emotions and thoughts.

In 2012, after sharing a number of sea stories with my only grandson, I was told I needed to write a life journal to include my years as a child in the Philippine Islands just following World War II. The journal, which addressed a time from June 7, 1935 to December 28, 2013, includes the important events of my life, including my twenty-seven years in the US Navy. As could be expected, there are more reflections from my years as a naval aviator, flying combat missions in Vietnam and numerous secret missions against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Not as exciting, but just as important, was my journal following my naval service after my retirement in December 1982. Most importantly, I have shared what took place in my life on June 9, 1977, two days after my 42nd birthday and two days before my oldest son graduated from high school, when I accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of my life. This event radically changed my life and immediately healed a broken family. It also addressed the thirty-plus years in which I was called as a volunteer to serve the least of these in our prison systems. If I have a desire for the journal, it would be that it encourage others to address the importance of their spiritual needs before age forty-two and that it would challenge my grandchildren in their walk with Christ.

A strangled prostitute, laid out on a prize-winning fairway. A stabbed pensioner, found wasting away in a rubbish-strewn house. And a brutally murdered banker, his expensive car sabotaged en route to a plush home. All three have suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, something DCI Kenny Gillespie knows all about. Its certainly bad luck that the Edinburgh detective picked today to tell his wife about his recent affair. But with Scotlands capital city falling into lawlessness and a rabid media calling for his head, Gillespie has much more to worry about than just who has blood on their hands. And with a boss who cares more about his golf average than the body count and a rookie partner who knows more about coffee than he does about crime, the detective has never felt more of an outsider. Thats just the way he likes it.
