Derek Niven 
Pride of the Hearts [EPUB ebook] 
The untold story of the men and women who made the Great War heroes of Heart of Midlothian

Derek Niven is a pseudonym used by the author John Mc Gee, a member of ASGRA, in the publication of his factual genealogical writings and Derek Beaugarde for his fictional science fiction writings. John Mc Gee, aka ‘The Two Dereks’, was born in 1956 in the railway village of Corkerhill, Glasgow and he attended Mosspark Primary and Allan Glen’s schools. The late great actor Sir Dirk Bogarde spent two unhappy years at Allan Glen’s when he was a pupil named Derek Niven van den Bogaerde, thus the observant reader will readily be able to discern the origin of the two pseudonyms. After spending 34 years in the rail industry in train planning and accountancy John Mc Gee retired in 2007. In 2012 the idea for his apocalyptic science fiction novel first emerged and 2084: The End of Days © Derek Beaugarde was published by Corkerhill Press in 2016. This was followed by Pride of the Lions © Derek Niven published in 2017, Pride of the Jocks © Derek Niven, foreword by Kathleen Murdoch, published in 2018 and Pride of the Bears © Derek Niven published in 2020.Three further books in the Pride Series are in the planning stages; Pride of the Dons: the untold story of the men and women who made the 1984 Aberdeen ECWC winners © Derek Niven, Pride of the Three Lions: the untold story of the men and women who made the 1966 England World Cup winners © Derek Niven and Pride of the Red Devils: the untold story of the men and women who made the 1968 Manchester United European Cup winners © Derek Niven.
