The Missing Man is set in the farmland and glens of County Antrim, that county of Northern Ireland facing Scotland, and takes place in 1942 during the Second World War. Being some twenty eight miles north of the city of Belfast it was possible for the farming neighborhood to see the bombing of the city by German Nazi planes. One dark night Uncle Ben, his son Wilbur and daughter Betty together with cousin Kevin are watching the glow over the city when an enemy plane touches the top of the tall trees around the farm house and crashes on one of the fields further on. There is a horrendous explosion and it is assumed that all the crew perished. But no! The pilot escaped and the hunt is on by the Police and Royal Air force to find him. That's when the two boys and the girl form their own team to run him down. Wulldog, their fox-terrier, gets involved and the adventure begins.

My Deputy In Law and The Odd Ball

By: Gardiner M Weir

This story is told by the Sheriff of a small town. His elderly Deputy had just retired and there was need for a replacement. The search resulted in six candidates of which five were men varying in age from twenty to the late thirties but the sixth was a dashing young woman of twenty two and Hispanic. There were different views on that but the majority vote of the Town Council elected her. The Sheriff was in that agreement and set out to train her in the appropriate aspects of law and the necessary police skills. The population of the town were curious about this departure from tradition, not just the first-ever woman Deputy but such an attractive one; and the Sheriff had a career challenge. Sam Johnson was a research scientist specializing in the finding of new and profitable pharmaceutical chemicals. He had several patents in his name as proof of his dedication and ability. He showed little emotion beyond his personal need to find the relevant data and arrange them in logical order.

A World of Dreams: Scots-Irish Short Stories and Poems

By: Gardiner M. Weir

These short stories are set primarily in the farmland of County Antrim in Northern Ireland during the author’s youth in the nineteen forties and fifties, though there are related stories set in the U.S. and Canada. County Antrim has strong residual connections to Scotland that are reflected in the manner of speech and in the social values that the author experienced during his youth - hard work, religious belief and valuing family connections. Long before television entered the home, family and neighborhood get-togethers were common, often around a hearth-fire, especially in winter. An exchange of comment kept everyone abreast of happenings in the area though that often tripped into friendly gossip, especially of those whose life’s escapades set them apart from the accepted norm. The very human lives of these wholesome people, their sorrow, happiness, humor and futility are picturesquely captured in the author’s sensitive, homespun stories.

A Life of Memories: A Collection of Poetry

By: Gardiner M. Weir

The author sees writing poetry as a way to capture observations, emotions and philosophical thoughts in a distilled format that helps him re-live them with the same delight at a later date. Poetry also is one of his preferred ways of communicating with others and, if they are moved to a deeper understanding of life through his words, the world becomes for him a less lonely place; hopefully for them also. These poems reflect having left behind his native Irish culture, his feelings at being separated from family due to business trips and what he observed while in foreign countries.

Willie the Different Worm & The Turtle

By: Gardiner M. Weir

In this children's story the author, Gardiner M. Weir, applies human feelings to one of earth's least respected creatures. Willie the Worm is a happy fellow living in the soil and making sure he is not exposed to hungry birds or fishermen looking for bait. However, there is a lovely girl worm living next door, as it were, and Willie is smitten with love; but he is repulsed as being simply a yellow fellow with no special characteristics such as she likes to admire. Willie is saddened and crawls around somewhat depressed and not taking care of the dangers outside his burrow; and that is when a hungry thrush swoops down and grabs him. What will happen to Willie? The story is beautifully illustrated by Erin O'Connor.

Music on the Wind

By: Gardiner M. Weir

These short stories are set primarily in the farmland of County Antrim in Northern Ireland during the author's youth, but some stories also take place in the city of Belfast. County Antrim has always enjoyed a strong Scottish influence, dating from the plantation that began in the seventeenth century. That influence is reflected not only in the manner of speech but also in the social values that the young author experienced, wherein money, land and family were especially important - often in that order. World War II also had a marked influence at that time and affected the peace of mind, outlook and decisions of the people. Long before television entered the home, family and neighborhood get-togethers were common and discussions that often tripped into friendly gossip were a form of keeping abreast of things. The very human lives of these wholesome people, their sorrow, happiness, humor and futility, are picturesquely captured in the author's sensitive, homespun stories.
