and <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong></strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Theological<br />
Bibliography. I have recently<br />
published my first book within<br />

the Founders <strong>of</strong> the Free Church<br />
<strong>of</strong> Scotland (Christian Focus<br />
Publications, 2010: ISBN: 13:<br />

1989<br />
susan (davey) Barclay<br />
I am very excited to announce<br />
that my short story, “A Bonny<br />
Blue Christmas,” appears in<br />
the Christmas-themed anthology,<br />
On A Cold Winter’s Night<br />
(Highland Press, 2009: ISBN:<br />
098424994X). The story is about<br />
a self-satisfied restaurant<br />
owner who unexpectedly falls<br />
in love, only to discover hidden<br />
secrets about her new partner,<br />
which throw into question her<br />
ability to recover, trust, and truly<br />
love again. This is the second<br />
short story I’ve had published:<br />
“A Ray for Mary Jo” appeared in<br />
the anthology, No Law Against<br />
Love (Highland Press, 2006).<br />
