Guest post on revenge in romance in USATODAY!!!!

It's so exciting to see my story about the role revenge plays in some romance novels in USAToday. Plus, it helps people discover my books, always a good thing and a major challenge for writers.

It's been a long time since I've written non-fiction, so this was fun. And I was able to get a quote from one of my favorite authors, Jayne Ann Krentz, which was a thrill!

A Legacy of Revenge -- available now!

A LEGACY OF REVENGE, the sequel to Legacy of the Highlands, is finally available. I love the cover and I hope readers will enjoy spending time with Alex and Diego again. This story begins two years after the first book ends and is filled with passion, intrigue and some exciting new characters.

When a fourteenth-century Scottish oath leads to murder in present-day Boston, the victim's devastated widow seeks revenge. Determined to find and punish the person who killed her husband, Will, Alexandra Cameron joins forces with his best friend, Diego Navarro.The handsome, wealthy and powerful Argentine never expected to win Alex’s heart, yet two years after the senseless killing their love blazes with heat and passion. Their bliss is threatened by a Scotsman who blames the couple for the death of his son, the man who plunged a knife into Will Cameron. The ruthless predator targets Alex and forces the deadly game of revenge into its next round.

Stone of Destiny

Legacy of the Highlands was inspired by a quote from the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath in which clan chieftans asked the Pope to help Scotland gain her freedom from England.

In 1296, a symbol of Scottish nationalism, the Stone of Scone (or Stone of Destiny), was taken from Scotland to England and there it remained until 1950 when it was liberated by a group of Scottish students. When they realized the police would stop at nothing to find the stone and return it to London's Westminster Abbey, they brought it to the remains of Arbroath Abbey, covered it with a Scottish flag, and waited to be arrested.

A film, "Stone of Destiny," dramatizes the heist and its impact on the Scottish people's quest for freedom. I watched the movie tonight and highly recommend it. Here's a link to the trailer.

What it's like to visit the locations in your book

Sophie Moss, writer extraordinaire of modern fairy tale romances set in Ireland's Aran Islands, invited me to write a guest post for her blog about what it was like to see, hear and smell some of the important locations in Legacy of the Highlands. Magical, would be a good one-word description. To read more, click through to Sophie's blog.
There's also a giveaway of two copies of the novel to those who leave a comment there.
