Yes Sir, No Sir

About the Book

Yes, Sir; No, Sir Two highland lads from rival clans find themselves sharing a small island where they are grazing cattle for the summer. Hostilities quickly decline into tolerance, and eventually, over the summer, a firm and strong and loving relationship. On leaving the island, each lad goes back to his own clan, and the story follows the life of both men in their parallel and separate worlds. It follows their loves and their adventures until, years later, fate brings their paths together—no longer boys but now powerful members of their respective clans.

About the Author

W. L. C. (Winston Lloyd Croek) Browning Brought up in Wales with a private school education and a passion for playing rugby, he studied hotel management and acquired a new passion for food. In his early twenties, he moved to the west coast of Ireland and soon became head chef of a prestigious hotel, possibly far too young as he sought something new. This led him firstly to set up a jewelry workshop, producing works in silver and gold that, as he said, would last longer than the works he had been producing with food. A restless urge to see and do more took him on a sojourn to the sea where he became a trawler-man, a lobster fisherman, and an oyster dredger, learning to dive and do simple underwater work. Moving from Ireland to Scotland, he returned to the hotel kitchens and his first love until being left alone to bring up a baby son. He found the hotels far too demanding on his time, so he took employment that he could work in around his son’s care. So he found himself planting new forests on the slopes of the Scottish Highlands where the solitude, peace, and beauty of his surroundings gave him inspiration to create stories. He would describe himself as a storyteller rather than an author.
