Historical Romance

Synopsis:
The infamous warrior Cree is paraded before the village Dowell and though shackled and wounded he walks with arrogant pride, meeting all the curious and fearful stares of the villagers with a fierceness that has them quickly turning their heads away… all but one woman.
Dawn cannot keep her eyes off the captured warrior, though tales of his exploits suggests he’s more devil than man. When his eyes meet hers, she wonders if the notorious tales are true for only the devil himself could be that sinfully handsome.
Dawn is summoned by the liege lord Colum and ordered to tend Cree, in all ways possible, while he awaits his fate, and please him she must or suffer the consequences. Colum laughs when he issues his orders. He’s sending not only a plain woman to please the mighty warrior in his final days, but one he’ll find no pleasure with. After all what man wants a woman who cannot utter a sound?
But no shackles can hold Cree and when he breaks free he returns to claim the voiceless woman who found a way into his silent heart.
Author Note:Highlander Unchained is a continuous story
and finishes in Forbidden Highlander. The
third book in the trilogy concerns Cree’s
sister, though the whole cast of characters
are involved as well.

Writers on Wednesday: Cindy Young-Turner
1. When did you start writing?
I feel like I’ve been writing forever, probably since I realized I could write my own stories. It’s something I have always loved to do. When I was ten I finished my first novel, which I think was about 100 pages or so and will never see the light of day. I’ve been writing ever since!
2. Are you a pantser or a planner?
Definitely a pantser. I’ve tried to write outlines and I’m never able to follow them. Instead I have to write to find out what’s going to happen in the story, and often my characters do things I never expect. That’s part of the fun.
3. Can you give us an idea of your writing process?
I have a full-time job and a toddler, so finding time for myself is a challenge. These days I write whenever I have a chance. Usually that’s late at night. I find I write in spurts, so when I’m on a roll I can crank out a whole chapter at a time. I only wish I could stay up until 2 am and still function the next morning like I used to be able to do.
4. Which authors have influenced your work?
Some of my favorite authors include Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman, Marion Zimmer Bradley, J.R.R. Tolkien, and H.P. Lovecraft. I’m not sure how much they have influenced my writing, but I love their different writing styles and creativity.
5. What are you
plans/future projects/new releases that we should be aware of?I’m currently working on a sequel to Thief of Hope, which is my first fantasy novel that was published in 2011. Book 2 is called Thief of Destiny. I’m hoping it will be finished sometime in 2013. I also have a prequel novella called Journey to Hope that comes out as a $.99 ebook for Kindle on December 15.
6. Any tips for new writers?
Keep writing and submitting and don’t get discouraged. Publishing is a tough business, but the acceptance of self-published works and a lot of great small publishers are opening avenues for writers who haven’t been able to find a home in the traditional publishers. Most of all, do it because you love it and don’t compromise yourself or your writing.
7. Any tips for old writers?
Also to keep writing.
I’ve found marketing to be the part of publishing that I like the least and it’s challenging to balance the need to market to actually sell your book and the desire to write more. I know it’s hard not to focus on sales, but it seems like having more than one book out helps. And the love of writing is why we’re doing this in the first place, isn’t it?Links:

Guest post and promo: CAIRO by Herbert L. Smith
I’m thrilled to bring you a guest post by author Herbert L. Smith. His travel narrative, Cairo: The Mother of the World, was published in 2008. In 2010, I had the good fortune to travel to Egypt, and Smith’s words have reminded me of that amazing experience. I hope you enjoy!
GUEST POST:
Inspiration
When someone asks me about my ‘muse,’ my writing inspiration, I can only tell them that my love of Cairo, all of Egypt in fact, is all I need to set my descriptive and poetic responses going. Sometimes, people who have visited or lived in Egypt question my reasoning. They found the place to be less than ideal – far, far less, and can’t understand my reasons for loving the city and the country. I confess that I don’t understand fully, but am happily oblivious to many of the problems that confound everyone who visits, as well as a large portion of the population that lives in the country. I am not unaware or insensible to these difficulties, it’s just they aren’t sufficient to cause for me to flee from the place and never go back. Quite the opposite, I am magnetically drawn to Egypt and to Cairo, especially.
Cairo is a dirty, noisy, hot, distressed city. It has been called the noisiest place in the world and may well be. It has also been called the dirtiest, but I think that distinction best lies in Indian, or perhaps Chinese cities. (Unquestionably, Cairo is also very dirty.) The city is fraught with traffic nightmares and pollution, sand, relentless heat, an immense population scrunched together in a very small area, and a myriad of other things that create chaos, but it also has a vibrancy of spirit, colorful people, a wonderful sense of humor, and an attitude of survival against all the odds, that makes it scintillating in my eyes. I became attuned to Cairo from the very first evening as I arrived amid the sprawl of traffic on what might have been a freeway in most countries, but had every kind of traffic – even camels in a long line – and pedestrians, along its lanes. Cars and mule-carts went every direction, including the wrong way (obviously by choice), and I gaped in amazement at the staggering tableau that spread out around the Nile in all directions. I had never seen anything like it, and haven’t found such a tumult anywhere since.
Native food is not exceptional, but is decent. Hospitality, however, is beyond any reproach. When you are a guest in an Egyptian home you are Honored. There is an incredible display of concern for a guest’s comfort – genuine concern – and an interest in whatever information about your world you can bring to the conversation. Egyptian people are delightful – almost always – and full of laughter despite the situation many are in. They are indomitable. As I watched the 2011 revolution through videos taken live at the scene, my heart was in my mouth, and I fell into the scenario as much as was possible from where I was at the time. I empathized with the people and with the revolution and with the need they now have of securing a government that will serve the needs of the citizens rather than the desires and greed of men in power. It is almost too much to comprehend, but the Egyptians handle it uniquely and heart-rendingly well. They make me proud to have been among them, and one of my greatest desires is to return to Cairo for a lengthy visit.
Herbert L. Smith – Cairo: The Mother of the World – Virtual Book Tour
Travel Narrative
Title: Cairo: The Mother of the World
Author: Herbert L. Smith
Date Published: 2008
Cairo: The Mother Of The World explores the heart of a city that most tourists never see – an affectionate, humorous close-up of the aggregation that is Cairo, as well as an adventure among the streets, tombs, houses, and monuments that are the city yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Many have said that Cairo doesn’t change, but it does; sometimes very slowly, with a foot in the past and the other stepping toward the future. At another time, it may explode with a sudden transformation that boggles the mind, as in the revolution of 2011-2012. Among all the confusion and noise and sand, it is still the same Cairo that many expatriates have come to love.
For anyone who has longed to visit Cairo, but has not had opportunity or felt a tour was risky at this time, this little book provides an intimate glimpse into the city that is largely unchanged, even after the revolution, and is moving forward, bit by bit, into a better tomorrow.
Love it with us as we walk among the people of Cairo and share the joy and tumult of the life that only the true Cairene is capable of appreciating in the midst of the gigantic jumble we call home. It will be an unexpected treat.

Herbert L. Smith
It has been my good fortune to live and work in schools and universities around the world. I
started teaching in the California State University system more than thirty years ago, after a time
working in secondary schools, went on to Egypt and the Middle East, and finally to Argentina. It
has been a fascinating series of events, from one adventure to another, and I loved nearly every
minute of it. (A few of the minutes were not quite so lovable for various reasons.)
Life as an expat lecturer and instructor led me into some unique and sometimes difficult
situations, but my appraisal of the whole was one of amazement that I was able to get to so
many wonderful places and enjoy the life of the people there. I taught English courses to
students who had already developed skills in the language and was always happy to tell them
about life in the U.S., as well as my appreciation of the life I led in their home countries. I would
gladly do it all again with only slight changes here and there.
A sustaining hobby throughout my life is music. I am a pianist, organist and composer with
many years of experience in church music. I found that wherever I went in the world, with the
exception of Argentina, I was almost immediately working with a church, playing the services
(usually on Fridays in the Middle East) regularly. Music is one of my fondest dreams as well as
a ‘forever’ joy.
I now live in Oregon with my wife of fifty years, Glenda, and we love the beauties that surround
us here. I will never tire of reliving the past, of course, either in writing or actually traveling, and
any time I have an opportunity to return to Cairo or Doha or La Rioja, I am excited to go again.

Scottish Sundays: Bagpipes
Welcome back to another Scottish Sunday! Sorry for the short break I took the last couple of weeks, but thanks for returning!
Today I want to talk about the iconic bagpipes.
Although most people think of Scotland when they think of bagpipes, the instrument may have actually originated in either Rome or the Middle East. They may have hit Ireland first, but once the instrument made it to Scotland, the wailing sound became a huge hit.
The pipes are used for funerals (“Amazing Grace” is the favorite song for such an occasion), and to lend authority to formal ceremonies.
My younger brother (who composed the music for the book trailer for The Burning of Isobel Key) actually got grounded over bagpipes. When he was in high school, he ordered a set online, didn’t tell my mom, and holed up in the band room practicing during school. The mournful pipes were so loud that he didn’t hear the bell ring and missed one of his classes. (Hence the grounding).
What do you think of bagpipes?

Bio:
Noree Cosper loves writing about magic in the modern world. While growing up in Texas she constantly searched for mystical elements in the mundane. She buried her nose in both fiction and books about Wicca, Religion, and Mythology. Everyday became an adventure as she joined a group of role-players, acting out her fantasies of vampires, demons, and monsters living in the world.
She embraced her nerdom wholeheartedly.
Noree grew, but never left her love for fantasy and horror. Her dreams pushed her and her hand itched to write the visions she saw. So, with her fingers on the keys, she did what her heart had been telling her to do since childhood. She wrote.
Noree can be found stalking people on Twitter and Facebook.
Be sure to check out her website for news on her works and tidbits of information

Holiday Gift Guide: Everybody loves books!
Originally posted at Crafting Magic on 11/23/12
“As the shoppers rush home with their treasures…”
Do you prefer to shop for your reading material online or in person? I’ll admit, I’m torn. It’s fun to just point the mouse and click a few buttons, and then wait and watch the mail (or, better yet, turn on my Kindle and see the book appear). But I also adore wandering through bookstores, touching spines and fantasizing about how many books I can fit on my already overstuffed shelves.
With the holiday season swinging into full gear, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for all the wonderful people in your tribe. My favorite gift to give? You guessed it: books!
Here are some shopping suggestions for everyone on your list.
For your mother: Look for authors like Diana Gabaldon, Phillipa Gregory, and Joshilyn Jackson. She’ll get sucked into stories of love, loss, and historical splendor (not to mention the sexy romance of Gabaldon and Gregory may be just what Mom wants to read!)
For your father: Think action, adventure, and heroism. Introduce Dad to Dan Brown or other edgy thrillers and keep him on the edge of his recliner!
For your grandmother: Janet Evanovich. Enough said.
For your grandfather: In my experience, sharp, witty biographies and memoirs are a hit with Grandpa: A Twist of Lemmon by Chris Lemmon was a big hist in my family. Browse the new nonfiction section at your local bookstore for ideas.
For your children/nieces/nephews (under 12): There are so many excellent children’s books out there, but I love getting kids started on a series: this ensures hours of reading as they work their way through all the books. Some great (long) series: Magic Tree House, American Chillers, Nancy Drew (yes, still around!), and, of course, Harry Potter.
For your children/nieces/nephews (12-18): Again, there are too many amazing YA novels hitting the shelves each week to provide a comprehensive list, but here are some favorites (of mine and of the students I used to teach): The Hunger Games trilogy, The Goddess Test trilogy, the Percy Jackson books, the Divergent trilogy, and anything by Sarah Dessen.
For your best friend: Whatever book you just finished reading: friends love recommendations, even if you aren’t sure of their reading tastes. Books that have made the rounds among my besties? Eat, Pray, Love, The Happiness Project, and American Gods.
For your lover: there are countless erotica titles out there, but if you want something a bit sweeter (and more able to be read in public) try to buy a book that relates to your partner’s interests and hobbies. If they have an Amazon Wish-List or a Goodreads “To-read” shelf, check that out and buy something from the heart.
The bottom line? There are enough books out there to please everyone on your holiday list! So as you brave the crowds this season, make a stop at your local bookstore and stock up.
If you have any fans of historical fiction, romance, and mystery on your list, why not give them a signed copy of The Burning of Isobel Key? Contact me at jenmcconnel (at) live (dot) com for information of a FREE personalized bookplate.

Writers on Wednesday: Marie Lamba, author of DRAWN
background in publishing: she’s an agent and a traditionally published author. She’s also an indie author. How does she do it all? I sat down with her and asked some questions about how she handles the many hats she wears. Enjoy! (PS: her novel, DRAWN, is absolutely wonderful: check out my review here.)1. You have a unique perspective on the publishing industry: you’re a literary agent. Why did you choose to pursue indie pub for some of your own work?
My first novel was traditionally published and was part of a two-book deal. But I learned the hard way that things don’t always go as planned. When my editor suddenly left the business, my book was orphaned, and my second book, the already written and approved sequel was suddenly cancelled through no fault of its own. So when the world of indie and e-publishing opened up and made it simple to produce and distribute novels, I published the sequel OVER MY HEAD. It wasn’t my first choice, but it was an awesome option that didn’t exist before.
With DRAWN, I was up against the toughest of recession-stressed markets. We got some interest from top editors, but with my orphaned first novel showing relatively low sales and the recession still raging, no offers. My agent was eager to keep pitching, but I decided after 2 years to publish DRAWN myself as well. I’m thrilled that reviewers have widely praised DRAWN and that readers have consistently rated it a 4 or 5 star read!
With my future work, I’ll always try for the traditional route first. Having the clout and exposure of an established publisher on your side is difficult to replicate on your own, not to mention the awesome editorial guidance…but it’s wonderful to know that there are now many ways for writers to reach readers, and many more paths to success.
2. What have you learned about writing because of your job as an agent?
How important voice is. You ever watch that show “The Voice”? It’s not exactly a fav of mine, but it is interesting how some people just open their mouths and sing just three notes and the judges immediately hit the button because they want that singer. There’s an individual quality to their voice, a sound that brings personality and feeling to whatever they sing. The kind of voice you can hear on the radio and immediately identify as only coming from a certain individual.
Now equate that to writing. This is the personality and flair in the writing, the sound of a writer’s thoughts and point of view coming through. The special something that lets us know we are reading a story only that writer would tell. Because this has become to clear to me as an agent, I now respect my own voice more in my writing. And let myself breath through more in my words, if that makes sense.
3. When did you first know you wanted a literary career?
Age 10. I picked up a copy of Half Magic, by Edward Eager at my Sicomac School Library. And I knew. THAT was what I wanted to do. To be lost in other worlds where anything was possible.
4. Is it hard to keep your writer self and your agent self separate?
I don’t even try! I use so many of my writer skills in my role as agent. My eye for story telling, my flair for editing, and my ability to capture the essence of a story in a pitch all come from my writerly self. My sense of timing, my feel for what works, and my ear for voice have all been heightened by the many submissions I’ve read. It’s all intertwined on so many levels.
I do admit it can be a bit hard to hush my critical voice now when I’m writing a first draft. You really have to be more forgiving when you are writing your novel, yet I find myself thinking, “Too much backstory. Get to the point faster!” These are the kinds of things a writer can clean up in revision long before submitting, so I’ve got to be a bit more lenient to my writerly self.
5. What advice do you have for new writers?
Never give up, certainly, but that is always said. I guess I would add that you need to know a writer is always working hard to improve their work and learn their craft, whether writing a first novel or penning a 30th bestseller. You’re never “done” when it comes to craft. So continue to push yourself to revise, to learn and to seek better and better ways to express yourself. It’s all part of being a pro.
6. What advice do you have for old writers?
We can all become jaded and disillusioned by setbacks, but it’s vital to our creative lives that we remember. Remember the passion you feel when you set pen to paper. When you get lost in literature. When your characters take you away and you are more alive than you’ve ever been. Do whatever it takes to refill that well of writing passion. Long strolls, journaling, daydreaming, revisiting your most inspiring reads, hearing other writers do readings, diving into biographies about writers you love. Never let anything make you forget the spark of joy and childlike observation that storytelling brings into your world.
7. Any upcoming projects we should know about?
My short story “What I Did…” is in the anthology LIAR LIAR (Mendacity Press), and Blackstone Audio has just picked the anthology up, so look for the audio version to appear soon.
8. Anything else you want to say about your writing process or writing in general?
Just that it’s such a joy to be completely involved in the writing world. My fellow agents, the kind editors I’ve encountered and the awesome authors I spend my time with have made this an endlessly delightful road to travel, despite any setbacks. Writing is a joy, and we are all part of a community. Seek out your fellow writers and build your community of support, and help each other along the way.
Thanks so much for having me, Jen!

PROMO: Just for Fun by Rosalind James
Just for Fun: Escape to New Zealand #4 (Rosalind James)
Excerpt
“Mum!” Zack burst in through the front door. “It was brilliant!” He kicked his shoes off impatiently, dropped his rugby boots next to them before struggling out of his jacket. Nic followed him in, grabbed the jacket and hung it on the brightly painted rack next to the door when Zack would have dropped it on the floor.
Emma reached out for a hug that, Nic saw, the boy was still willing to give his mother, at least here at home. Her eyes met Nic’s as she looked over her son’s head. How did she always look so soft? So . . . pettable? She was wearing another sweater, that was all, he told his troublesome libido. Another light, lacy one, prettily trimmed once again. A pale pink cardigan with pearly shell buttons, edged in cream, over a long stretchy top and leggings. She looked like an invitation to cuddle. Like the best blankie ever.
“Can Nic stay for dinner, Mum?” Zack asked excitedly, offering a welcome distraction from his wayward train of thought. “He could help me tell you all the things we did. We’re having spaghetti!” he told Nic. “It’s really good.”
“Can’t, mate. Sorry,” Nic put in hastily at Emma’s instinctive shake of the head. “But I’ll have a glass of water, if one’s on offer.”
“Sit down,” Emma told him. “Please.”
Nic slipped off his own shoes before heading to the couch with Zack. “Cheers,” he said as she came back from the kitchen to hand each of them a glass, then took her own seat in a small armchair next to the couch, the only other option the little room offered.
“You look tired,” she said abruptly. “And bruised. Are you OK?”
“Just a bit confused on the sleep schedule, still,” Nic admitted. “I took a wee pill on the flight home, but it never works that well.”
“It’s a long way, Mum,” Zack put in. “South Africa’s really far.”
Nic took a long drink of the cold water, looked around for something to set the glass on. “Coaster?”
“Just put it down,” Emma told him.
“Don’t want to spoil this,” he said, looking more closely at the coffee table. The simple rectangle had been transformed into a forest of ferns, with native birds peeping out from underneath fronds, perched in trees. The parson-throated tui making a meal of red fruit, the colorful, stumpy takahe on the forest floor, tiny fantails darting overhead.
“You can’t,” Emma assured him. “It’s all enamels. Everything in this house is pretty indestructible.”
“Did you find the ruru yet?” Zack asked him, leaning forward.
“Don’t tell me,” Nic said. “Let me look.” Zack watched him eagerly as he searched and finally pointed triumphantly to a notch in a tree where the owl blended into the bark. “There.”
“You did this too, eh,” he asked Emma. “Nice.”
“I did everything. That’s my decorating theme. Things I made.”
“I like it,” he assured her. The warm colors of the lounge seemed to cocoon them. Two walls were a rich caramel, the others a warm yellow. She didn’t even paint every wall in a room the same color, he realized. Well, at least in the kitchen it was all the same. Purple. He wondered what color her bedroom was. How it looked. And found himself wishing, against every better impulse, that he could see it.

Date Published: 12/8/12
Synopsis:
What if the person who broke your heart turned out to be the only one who could mend it?
Nic Wilkinson is a responsible, organized, disciplined rugby player at the top of his game. Emma Martens is a sometimes-scattered, often-emotional, and always-broke would-be designer with a big chip on her shoulder where Nic’s concerned.
They have no history together, except one perfect week. Nothing in common anymore, except the most important thing of all.
Getting together again would be messy. Complicated. Scary. And, just maybe, worth every risk.
