Set up for the scene: Michaela agrees to let Alan and Hyatt give her a tour of the loch so she can search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster.

**********************************************************************************************************
Now for the snippet: (Alan's POV) (Michaela is speaking first.)
She looked toward the castle again. “I’ll have to take a tour of Castle Urquhart, while I’m here.”
“Oh aye,” Hyatt agreed. “Ye doonae want to miss its grandness.”
“I’m takin’ the boat out this way tomorrow.” Alan heard himself say.
Both Michaela and Hyatt’s gaze riveted to him. This should have been a big clue to keep his mouth shut, but it seemed his tongue had a mind of its own. “I could give ye a lift.”
*********************************************************************************************************
Oh Alan, you have it bad. lol

Lost in the Mist of Time is Free Sept. 4th and 5th @KMNbooks @CheapKindleBook @IndieKindle
Free for two days only!
Blurb:
Aislinn Hennessy pens tales of courage, loyalty, and true love, but her heroes of old are pure fantasy—figments of her imagination. She long ago gave up thinking a knight in shining armor would sweep her off her feet, but then she never expected to run him off the road either.
Sir Dougray Fitzpatrick has buried one wife and vows to never love again—but destiny has other plans for this 16th century Irish Lord. During a battle, a mist separates Dougray from his men and casts him into the future. Dougray must return to Dunhaven and to his century, but Aislinn follows him into the mist, leaving him no choice, but to take her home with him.
Conspiracies, feuds and unexpected violence are commonplace threats, but along the way, Aislinn and Dougray discover a surprise neither one expects: a chance for love even when they're Lost in the Mist of Time.

Snippet Sunday: Nessie or Nester? @WildRosePress @KMNbooks #SpeekSunday #8sunday #snippetsunday
Hello Readers!
Welcome to Snippet Sunday. This is another snippet from Magic of the Loch. Today's snippet is a couple of paragraphs later from last week.
If you missed last weeks snippet, here's the link: Chapter 2 #11 (Alan's POV).

Set up for the scene: Michaela agrees to let Alan and Hyatt give her a tour of the loch so she can search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster. They've arrived in front of Castle Urquhart where most of the sightings of the Loch Ness Monster have been. Alan goes on to describe the ancient castle in loving detail. Michaela pops the question: "If you don’t mind me asking, do you both believe Nessie is real? Here's the laddies' response...
***Note: Snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.
**********************************************************************************************************
Now for the snippet: (Alan's POV)
Alan briefly met Hyatt’s gaze before answering her. “I suppose, we do. People need to believe in somethin’ or else what’s the use in livin’?”
She laughed with her mouth and eyes, transforming her face into pure sunlight that warmed him from the inside out. Dear gods, what pull did this woman have on him?
“And what makes ye so sure the creature is a lassie?” Hyatt piped up.
“Maybe all these years, the pictures are of Nester and not of Nessie.”
“Doesnae have the same ring to it, does it now?” Hyatt said, wrinkling his nose in disgust.
*********************************************************************************************************
Doesn't sound like Hyatt likes the being known as Nester, the Loch Ness Monster. lol So did the Laddies answer the question well enough?
Find out next week with more of Alan's POV.
