Subject:      The MacKenzie Chronicles, just some notes...

First off, nkbarret@accessnv.com, you asked me for the early chapters.  I tried
to send them to you but they bounced, can you send me your address again?  May-
be I have it wrong.

Now, to everyone else.... :)
I just wanted to clarify something about the MacKenzie Chronicles.  I'm trying
very hard to stay within the boundaries of historical fact with this one, as
some of you might have picked up.  On the same note, I know that my research
may be less than entirely accurate and, moreover, that I'm taking alot of
artisic license with historical truths.  So, enjoy my spin on things, and only
point out the really glaring historical innaccuracies, okay?  *grin*
For example, (for those of you who've been reading the story up to date, for
the rest, this may be spoilers ;)  Queen Mary really was interred in Edinburgh
at this time, as was Kenneth Org of the MacKenzie clan sixty-five years before
that, and it was Colin MacKenzie who was the chieftain of that time, and the
other clans that supported Mary after her escape were Campbell, Buchanan, and
so forth....  On the other hand, Colin did not, to my knowledge, have a young
son named Brian who single-handedly rescued Mary, but it seemed like a natural
connection to attempt.  You'll see lots of these "well" (snicker, snicker) re-
searched facts adding some grounding and background to the future chapters of
the story.
      Just the author's two cents,
           Brian
