Jamie and Gracie
Life can be short and brutal in the Highlands, and Jamie Grant is determined to make the most of it. Filled with a longing he cannot put into words, he leaves his clan to help his cousins, who are on a mission for the Scottish Crown. Though he has not yet told his sire, the great Alexander Grant, he plans to become a spy for the Crown if all goes well. A life of action and adventure is exactly what he wants--or so he thinks. His thoughts keep turning toward home, and his uncle's beautiful adopted daughter, Gracie. Gracie is reputed to be the most comely lass in the Highlands, but she shuns the attention. Being useful to her adopted clan matters more to her than being beautiful. Her dream is to have a family of her own, but the only man her heart yearns for is Jamie Grant, who seems as desperate to leave the Grants as she is to stay. When a mysterious, commanding baron courts her, she's wrought with confusion--she doesn't wish to leave home, but to refuse him offhand would be a dangerous insult that could endanger the clan she loves. Jamie realizes that the life he wants has been in front of him all along, but has he waited too long?
Lasting Lines
The English language is rich in poetry; yet how many people are aware that many of our stock phrases and familiar sayings have their origins as lines of poetry? Ink-stained poet Jamie Grant set out to uncover a selection of these enduring lines in the works of English-language poets all the way from Chaucer and Shakespeare up to the present day. Some of the lines are well known; others should be; and others again might be enjoyable surprises. These lines, and the quirky biographical and critical comments that accompany them, are an invitation to readers, from the well versed to the merely curious, to rediscover the pleasure of reading poetry, and to look at 100 of the world's best poets from a unique perspective.

Hallucination
The late Les Murray described Jamie Grant's work as "poems of scrupulous craftsmanship and unlinking intelligence, poems which pay acute attention to the contours of experience." This new collection, which is divided into five discrete sections, focuses that attention on the twenty-first century world, its office buildings and hospitals, motorways and wind farms, while also looking back to characters and events from earlier times. There are also observations of Australia's natural environment, its forests, farms, birds and animals. The last of the five sections is a series of versified thumbnail sketches of historical figures whose achievements helped to shape the present age. And there is even an elegy for Les Murray among the other verses.

The King as Exemplar
The rationale of the order of Psalms is a puzzle at least as old as Augustine in the fourth century, and Grant (Biblical studies, Highland Theological College, Scotland) does not aspire to solve the whole thing here and now. Rather he bites off only one aspect, a particular paradigm that may have influenced the shape of the Psalms in certain ways.
