As I end this month long celebration, I’m thrilled to share the final book in the Order of the Dragon Knights ~ Dragon Knight’s Ring! The surprise of the fifth Dragon Knight being Adam MacFhearguis was revealed in the last book, Dragon Knight’s Shield.

TETL+SET+CORRECT+COVER

Welcome to Medieval Monday! Our ongoing theme this summer is: “Celebrating Nature.” I’m delighted to have Jenna Jaxon visiting today. She’s sharing a beautiful excerpt from her story, Time Enough To Love. I absolutely loved this scene! Enjoy!

Excerpt:

Snipping the stems of a sweetly-scented pale lavender Apothecary’s rose, she started when a shadow fell over the flower in her hand. She looked up to find Thomas standing before her, smiling at her basketful of blooms.

“You wish to take a part...

Celebrating Two Years ~ DRAGON KNIGHT’S SHIELD!

DragonKnight_sShield_w10248_750

Welcome to my month long celebration of being a published author. This week, it’s all about the oldest Dragon Knight and his lady. Angus MacKay was always a fierce, and at times, angry man. He became laird at a young age, trying to raise three younger brothers and a sister–each with their own unique powers. Control and focus were his daily mantras. But we all know (or those that have read his story) what happened when he tried to control everything and everyone, including his inner dragon.
