Medieval Monday ~ “First Encounter” in SOUL OF THE WOLF

[image error] Welcome back to Medieval Monday and the last installment of our “First Encounter” theme!  I’m pleased to share with you the fourteenth and final excerpt from Soul of the Wolf, Book 2 of The Novels of Ravenwood.  Let’s follow Wulfstan as he steals back up the hill to Woden’s Circle and glimpses Lady Jocelyn in an unguarded and most provocative moment!

Jocelyn’s back was to him. She had freed her hair from its tight braid, and the long locks clung to her hips. Her delicate hands caressed one o...

I’m delighted to have Sherry Ewing here today!  She and I are both part of the Medieval Mondays crew.  We’ll give you a sneak peek at The Piper’s Lady, one of eight novellas in the Bluestocking Belles’ 2017 box set, Never Too Late.  25% of the proceeds benefit their mutual charity, The Malala Fund.  But first, let’s get to know Sherry a little better.

At what age did you write your first story? I remember being in grade school. Certainly that was several lifetimes ago.

Which genre was the fi...

Phantasmic Friday ~ Week Four

Welcome to the last Phantasmic Friday of October. Halloween is less than a week away, and I’m loving it! I love the Yuletide too, which is probably why my second medieval romance, Soul of the Wolf, is set in December of 1101. It’s also the season in which today’s true ghost story begins.

Christmas of 1992 found me packing for Sweden, where I would study for the next six months under a Swedish Institute scholarship. At the time, which was long before I met my husband, my Swedish-American boyf...
