Each month we will be featuring a guest writer and this month is Christopher Thomas Cairney. He began as a wrestler at California State University Chico and, following that, continued in college sports for ten years as an advisor while teaching in both the Big Twelve and the Pac-10. He was the man closest to the players, their advocate and their friend. Based on a true story, The Annulment is an experience: of horror and betrayal, of ethnic strife and racial power within an American Division-One sports program. The following is an excerpt from an online novel.

" On the high road from Glasgow, I pause at a crest, and with sadness, I look at the sea to the west, and I cringe in my cloak, and I turn to the wind, and reluctantly down to the shore, I descend. Then stand I alone on a night by the sea, and a cold wester blows a low mist to the lee, and the sea meets a moonbeam and shimmers like fire, and I wait for my ship to come in from kinTyre. For the day of the Saxon is cruel and is long; even here, in his power and wealth, he is strong; so that Gaeldom no more is the home of the bold of our race; yet I think of the heroes of old and back to a time when the Gael reigned supreme in this land, with honor and pride, and I dream with a rage in my heart and a tear in my eye, as I say to the land of my fathers, "Good Bye."
