Are you even remotely considering healing Gregor's wounds from losing Kelli by introducing him to a new love? Or maybe telling Aulay and Andy's stories? I loved all your characters and your sense of humor. Awesome.

I have Gregor’s story figured out in broad strokes in my head, but I haven’t started plotting or writing his book yet. Currently, I am working on The Laird’s Hellion, which stars John MacDonnell, who is Maggie’s older brother from Highland Betrayal. The Laird’s Hellion is book one of my new Highlander series—Second Sons. (less)

I'm so glad you're loving my books! Thank you so much for telling me. I LOVE hearing back from my readers. 💞

Kerr and Isobel's book is up next, and it's tentatively titled HIGHLAND THIEF. It will wrap up the conspiracy against Gregor and the 5 foster brothers, as well as providing Kerr and Isobel's HEA!

I'm still writing HIGHLAND THIEF, and I don't have a release date for you to put on your calendar yet, but if you sign up for my newsletter, http://alysonmclayne.com, I'll announce all the details as soon as I have them. I hope you'll sign up!

I'm expecting to finish HIGHLAND THIEF soon, and then it's up to my publisher to schedule the release date.

Take care!!

A Highland Christmas






Ah, Christmas…love it or hate it, you can’t deny how pretty it is. All those twinkling lights, candy canes, tinsel, and sparkly reindeers. Not to mention the air waves filled with catchy Christmas carols you can’t help humming when you hear them. All. Day. Long.   


I am one of those people who love Christmas. And in my household, I do almost all of it—outside decorations, inside

“Doona startle her, Lachlan. She’s still confused,” her savior said gruffly. “I’m all right, angel. Doona fash.”

“Love isn’t about beauty! It’s about being with someone for forty years and finding they can still make you laugh. Having someone whom you’d die for because their happiness comes before your own, who understands what you’re saying without having to say anything at all. Being in love is about giving everything and not worrying about getting anything back because you’ve already got it.”
― Alyson McLayne, Highland Conquest

“They’d spent half their time together in the evenings arguing and baiting each other, even if their chaperones were unaware of it. It might be as subtle as a raised brow or tiny smirk or a more obvious eye roll. They shared a silent language that could say more between them than a whole night with someone else.”
