About the Author
Born in Scotland in 1929, Roger Longrigg worked initially in advertising, which provided the inspiration for his first novel, 'A High Pitched Buzz' first published in 1953. His love of writing saw him delve into many genre's using pen names of Laura Black, Rosalind Erskine, Megan Barker, Iver Drummond and Domini Taylor. The Black books show his prowess at historical fiction, with a dash of romance, set against striking Scottish backgrounds. Longrigg died on February 26th 2000, aged 70.

Ripping Yarn by a Lady,
By A Customer
This review is from: Glendraco (Paperback)
This is one of my all-time favorite books by one of my all-time favorite authors. Laura Black has a great talent for vivid characters. Her Kirstie meets all sorts of adventures: scenes of romance, oppression, depression, heartbreak, grief, bravery, suspense, gaiety, and terror, all deftly, and many times unexpectedly injected with comedy. A great read!

This review is from: Glendraco (Paperback)
just put in this review to agree with another reviewer that Glendraco is one of the best scottish romances ever written. Makes all of the newer ones seem dull and derivative (other than Diana Gabaldon, whose books are even better).

Excellent from start to finish,
By A Customer
This review is from: Glendraco (Paperback)
This is a fabulous read! I have read it at least ten times and it never fails to keep me spellbound. Laura Black is truly a lost treasure and it is a shame that she is out of print.
