Hi everyone!
I’ve had a lot of questions about my Highlander series, The Sons Of Gregor MacLeod—especially about Lachlan, and whether or not he was getting his own story. Well, I wanted to let you all know that I got revisions back today from my publisher on book 2 of the series called Highland Trouble, which is Lachlan and Amber’s story, and I couldn’t have been happier or more RELIEVED by their response……they LOVED it—Yay! The developmental editor said: “It’s official – Lachlan is my favorite Highland hero of all time.”
You can’t get better than that, right?!!
So please, if you loved Highland Promise (Darach and Caitlin’s story) keep an eye out for the series starting October 3, 2017. First up: A new, edited version of Highland Promise with added scenes and chapters. Then in February 2018, Lachlan’s story, which is called Highland Trouble.
Can’t wait!!
Thanks so much for all your continuing support. I truly appreciate it. 🙂
Take care,
Alyson McLayne
What happened to the book Highland Trouble. Amazon and any other book store does not carry it.
Hi Bernice,
I’m really sorry, but I’m just seeing this comment now. Ugh, technology is not my strong point!
Highland Trouble doesn’t exist, lol. My publisher changed the title to Highland Conquest, but they’d already put it up on the internet and in the back of book one, Highland Promise. Very confusing, I know!
Here’s the official order:
Book One: Highland Promise
Book Two: Highland Conquest
Book Three: Highland Betrayal
Book Four: Highland Captive (out July 2019)
Book Five: Highland Thief (title may change)
Here’s the Amazon link to Highland Captive: http://bit.ly/HighlandCaptive2
Have a great day!

Thank you for this series…can’t wait for last (5th) installment
Thanks so much, Lisa!
I’m coming up to the end of Highland Thief (Kerr and Isobel’s book). I hope to finish sometime in May and then it’s off to my publisher for edits and cover. I’ll announce the release date as soon as I know.
Take care and stay safe,
Alyson
Can’t wait for the next book!
You have made the pandemic a little more bearable.
Thank you!
Hi Denise! Wow, I’m so happy you wrote to tell me that–it makes my day to know that my books helped make the pandemic a little easier for you. The next book, Highland Thief, comes out August 23rd and is up for pre-order now. I’m also in the process of signing with my publisher for four more books in this same world (a spin off with John MacDonnell–Maggie’s brother from book 3). So more books will be coming…
you cannot find it because the title is The highland conquest. Lachlan and Amber
When will highland thief be released if it is not already out? Looking forward to book #5.
Hi Jennie!
Kerr and Isobel’s book is next. HIGHLAND THIEF will wrap up the conspiracy against Gregor and the 5 foster brothers, as well as providing Kerr and Isobel’s HEA!
I’m still writing HIGHLAND THIEF, and I don’t have a release date for you to put on your calendar yet, but if you sign up for my newsletter, https://alysonmclayne.com, I’ll announce all the details as soon as I have them. I try to keep my newsletter fun and informative with some giveaways and exclusive excerpts or cover reveals. I hope you’ll sign up!
Take care!

Can’t wait for the 5th installment
Hello, will we ever see all the brothers and their wives together? I would love that Thank you for your books and if you write more in this series, PLEASE ask Rosalyn Landor to narrate. She is amazing!!!
Rosalyn is totally amazing! I love her too. If more books were to come in the series, I would be thrilled to have her narrate them. I’m slowly working on a new series called Second Sons that is set in the same world. Audio books will be forthcoming, but unfortunately I don’t have any control over the narrator. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the series!
Hoghland thief update ??

I can’t wait on the five book,
What up with that. Ha ha ha
Hi Yvonne!
Book 5 is with my publisher. I’m waiting on edits, and then more edits, and then MORE edits, lol. Plus there’s cover art and crafting the back cover blurb and distribution to all the stores… It’s quite the process. I’ll announce a publication date in my Newsletter as soon as I have one. You can sign up for it, if you like, on my website.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series!
Take care,
Alyson
Hi Alyson , I am looking forward to Book 5 in the Sons of McGregor series. What is the current time frame for the release of that book?
Hi Colleen! Kerr’s and Isobel’s story (tentatively titled Highland Thief) will probably come out sometime next summer (2021). I know it’s a long wait, but traditional publishing is slow, and my process was slow, too, on this book. We faced a family illness is 2019 that took a lot of extra time and energy. But hopefully, the wait is worth it!!
when will the fifth book come out?
Hi Kathleen
Thank you so much for writing to me. I LOVE hearing back from my readers. 💞

And I do plan to write Gregor’s story. I have a few ideas floating around in my head. But I’m not contracted for it with my publisher, so I don’t know when that will happen.
Take care and stay safe!
Alyson McLayne
I heard you were going to write Gregor and John Mcdonald’s story and if so when? Thanks Alyson
Hi Linda,
Currently, I am working on Gregor’s story as part of The Sons Of Gregor MacLeod series. If all goes well, I hope to finish it sometime in late 2024. I had a hiatus from writing after my mom died, but things are looking up, and Gregor and Tara’s story is now outlined and ready to go. I’m really excited about it. I think you’ll love it!
I do have a second series planned in the same world called Second Sons, but it’s on hold for now. The series features John MacDonnell and his band of brothers. John’s story will be published eventually… I’m just not sure how or when. When I’m done Highland Protector (Gregor’s story), I’ll definitely revisit The Laird’s Hellion (John’s story) and figure out next steps for that series.
Take care,
Alyson
Hello Alyson. I would like to tell you how much I am thoroughly enjoying The Sons of Gregor MacLeod series. I haven’t laughed out loud reading a book in a long time. I love the banter between the characters and their sense of humor. I am currently reading Highland Captive and am about half way through the book. I am curious to see how it ends. Thank you so much for adding the humor in along with the adventure and romance of the story. I am looking forward to reading about Kerr and Isobel’s story too.
Many thanks,
Julie
Hi Julie!
Thank you for sending such a thoughtful note! I truly means the world to me. I’m so glad you love the series and especially that it makes you laugh. I should finish Kerr’s and Isobel’s book in just a few days, and then it’s off to my editor/publisher. Sometime after that, I hope to write a book for Gregor. I think he deserves his own Happily Ever After!
Take care,
Alyson
I just read through the series and can’t wait to read Isobel and Kerr’s story. I’m wondering if by chance Gregor might find love again later in life??? . . and keep the series going a little while longer. . .please and thank you!
Hi Pam!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series! Kerr and Isobel’s book is up next, and it’s tentatively titled HIGHLAND THIEF.
I’m still writing HIGHLAND THIEF (almost done!!), and I don’t have a release date for you to put on your calendar yet, but I’ll announce all the details as soon as I have them.
And I do plan to write Gregor’s story! I have a few ideas floating around in my head. But first I have to finish up with Kerr and Isobel (cracks the whip!).
Take care and stay safe!
Alyson McLayne
Dear Alyson, thank you so much for this series of the five brothers. They are all awesome! I keep reading them over and over! They are all so unique but love the strong family ties! They all love each other no matter what. Their fun banter is heartwarming! Thank you so much for this wonderful series. You are an incredible writer! They make me laugh and cry at the same time! I’m so excited to hear that Gregor gets his own happy ending! He deserves it! Tks from my heart!
Hi Laurie!
Thank you so much for such a lovely letter! I so appreciate it. It means the world to know that my stories are touching hearts.
I just handed in Kerr’s and Isobel’s story to my publisher (yay!!). As soon as I have a release date, I’ll announce it in my Newsletter. You can sign up on my website!
Take care!
Alyson
hi Alyson thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. like everyone else I cannot wait for book 5. I am also looking forward to Gregor finding his happy ever after.E
Thank you so much, Elaine! I’m so glad you’re loving the series!!
Love the Sons of Gregor McLeod series. The characters, story lines, love stories, love of family and the laughter make for an enjoyable escape from today’s reality. Thanks for writing them. I also look forward to book 5.
Thanks so much Susan! I’m so glad you’re loving the series. It means the world to me to hear back from my readers. 🙂
Hi Alyson I love this series so much and all the books have been amazing but I’ve a feeling Kerr and Isobel’s will be my favourite.. do u think there’s a chance it could be out this year or is it definitely next year?
Hi Anna!
I’m so glad you’re loving the series——thank you so much for telling me. I love hearing from my readers! I think Kerr’s and Isobel’s book will be your favorite too, lol. I’m working on first round edits right now, and I’m loving the chemistry between the two of them. They may be my favourite couple, yet. Unfortunately the book won’t come out this year. Traditional publishing is slow, plus it took me a long time to write this book——partly because it’s the last in the series, but also because we had a family illness in 2019 that took up a lot of time and energy. And then, you know…2020. Currently, I’ve been told it will release next summer. Fingers crossed that doesn’t change. If you want, you can follow me on Bookbub, and they’ll send email notifications the day the book releases——it’s my favourite way to keep up with my go-to authors. https://www.bookbub.com/profile/alyson-mclayne?list=about
Have a great day!
