• About the Authors
  Dr. Keith E. Stuart and Barbara Phillips Stuart have lived in Villa Hills, Kentucky for twenty-six years.  Before moving to Kentucky, Keith was a far-westerner who has lived in Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona.  He holds a master’s degree in speech pathology and a doctorate in counseling psychology.

• Barbara was born and raised in Cincinnati and lived in Anderson Township before moving to Arizona where she became a newspaper columnist for six years.

• Seven years ago, the couple began writing novels.  Their mutual love of historical fiction proved the perfect genre for their six-book saga that details ten generations of the fictional McDonald family whose roots run deep in the Highlands of Scotland.  The lives of the fictional characters are intertwined with actual historic events and the real life people associated with them.  Currently, four of the books are published while the fifth book should be ready for publication in 2008.

• In addition, Barbara has published Rainstorms and Rainbows, a collection of humorous vignettes taken from her newspaper columns that centered on her children and later, her grandchildren.  44 Points is Keith’s autobiography of his wartime experiences in Korea during 1952-53.
