These elements come together singularly or in multiples to create the base power of the witch. In the Pack Bound series, the four heroines are: Bron, a Healer, Shelley, a Medium, Skye, an Elemental, and Eloise, an Empathic-Shifter. Which one of them do you most closely rese ..read more

Revenge might be sweet, but love is far sweeter… Sarah wasn’t sure when she first noticed the mysterious man dressed in black, watching her. Perhaps it was when Malcolm had escorted Damaris out onto the ballroom floor for a minuet. Movement and noise surrounded her: laughter and chatter and the elegant strains of the small orchestra filled the air; the swirl of opulent silks and satins and velvets, and the flash of jewels dazzled the eye as dancing couples floated by. But lingering in the shadows on the other side of the room was a tall, dark stranger. He stood perfectly still, his attention ..read more

One pack, one coven, a destiny intertwined… The microwave pinged and Skye jumped. Stupid. Jumping at microwaves! This is what happened when you had the kind of overbearing grandmother who sent people to follow you around on your holiday. Paranoia. Slamming her hand against the button, she barely waited for the door to swing open before grabbing the bowl. Soup spilled over her thumb. ‘Fudge a fudgy-duck!’ She put the dripping soup bowl down on the bench and sucked at her burned thumb. ‘Ffffffruitloops, that’s hot.’ ‘Wow, impressive. She not only skis like a pro, but she knows how to swear in ..read more

Escape Publishing

3y ago

And nothing really says ‘Scottish historical romance’ as clearly as a handsome Highlander sporting a kilt on the cover! Yet the Jacobite heroes in my stories The Master of Strathburn and my upcoming release The Laird of Blackloch, rarely wear kilts or anything made of tartan. Why not?
