Knot Gardens and Ghosts today at Embracing Romance

Today I'm over at Embracing Romance talking about gardening (which I don't do), because there's a formal garden in my new novella, The Christmas Knot, which is now available in the boxed set (see cover to the left) Captivated By His Kiss. Hop on over if you're interested in gardens. Or ghosts. Or curses. Or romance and second chances. It's all there...



This is the parterre (a kind of formal

MY DREAM CAST for THE CHRISTMAS KNOT and $25 gift card #giveaway

Today I'm thrilled to be a guest at the Book Obsessed Chicks blog for the first time. I'm talking about the dream cast for my novella, The Christmas Knot in Captivated By His Kiss. This is also a first. I don't usually think about which movie stars I would cast for my heroes and heroines.





Hmm. I think I will in future. It was so much fun! ;)

Ghosts and The Christmas Knot

Today I'm over at Embracing Romance blogging about believing in ghosts (or not), and subjecting you to some photos of the ruins of Duntulm Castle on the Isle of Skye. I say subjecting because very few of the photos of our vacation in Scotland came out the way I hoped. They simply don't do justice to the spectacular beauty to be found there. Oh, well.

Of Alphas and Edinburgh

This is Edinburgh Castle from below:



I visited Edinburgh last month--didn't get a chance to tour the castle, but it sure was impressive from the outside.

Is this castle on a rock a good metaphor for an alpha hero? I don't know...I don't quite understand the alpha hero thingy...so I'm pondering it on Embracing Romance today. If you can enlighten me, whether a little bit or a lot, please come

An Accidental Aphrodisiac

Today I'm over at Embracing Romance talking about what I found when I went looking for a recipe for gruel. Why gruel, you ask? Curiosity -- I wanted to find out what was so awful about it. Instead, I found out how to make artificial asses' milk.
