Launch Party for Return to Kilcraig!

A warm welcome to the launch party of my new Scottish novel, Return to Kilcraig! Thanks for joining me in the celebration and fun. If anyone also wants to read the book (thank you!), it’s now available in e-book on Amazon and the paperback will follow soon.
Meanwhile, here’s the blurb, followed by a short trailer, just because I like putting words and pictures to music! Have a go at the competitions further down. I’ll leave them open until Saturday morning when husband will choose a random winner of each from the answers in the comments and from those on the Facebook Launch Party - they'll be put together for the draws.
Return to Kilcraig
The legacy of her beloved grandmother's cottage in the Scottish village of Kilcraig seems like the ideal solution after Christy Morrison’s recent trauma. Until the threats begin. Can she trust her heart and allow herself to fall in love again?
When Ross McKinley reluctantly welcomes Christy back to the village, he has hardened his heart against love, until they begin to renew their childhood friendship. But someone is determined Christy should go back to London. Will they find the culprit in time?

Have a nice piece of fruit cake or pastry and a coffee while you watch the short trailer!
 

The setting of this novel is mainly around the fictitious west coast country village and the beautiful banks of Loch Lomond. Here’s a couple of the views Christy and Ross see on their first outing together to Conic Hill, one of my favourite places.

Giveaway Competition 1
Name another Scottish loch apart from Loch Lomond. The prize is this pretty little 2017 calendar the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

Musical Interlude
I love lots of different kinds of music, including Celtic, especially when writing fiction set in Scotland. A special kind of Scottish music is played at another significant outing for my hero and heroine and although this isn’t exactly what they hear, it gives a flavour! It's a bit long so you'll probably want to stop it after a few minutes!

You might be in the mood for more sweet treats by now. Help yourself to a Tunnock's teacake (yummy) or Bakewell tart - stop me eating them all!

Giveaway Competition 2
What is the name of the Scottish dessert containing raspberries, oats, cream and whisky? The prize is the little Scottish recipe book.

As well as music, I also love art and literature and the novel includes a few quotes form The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Christy is an illustrator and one of the scenes takes place in the stunning Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

Giveaway Competition 3
Who is the famous Scottish writer of the Waverley novels? The prize is this small Celtic bookmark.

Think it's maybe time for a stiffer drink. Have a wee dram of whisky or a glass of Champagne along with some healthy savoury nibbles.
 
Musical Interlude
In the lead-up to Christmas in Return to Kilcraig, there is grand county Winter Ball - Scottish dancing and kilts! Enjoy another some more Scottish music while you eat. Again - stop it after a few minutes if you wish. Have you ever been to a ceilidh?

Final Giveaway Competition
What do we call the Scottish New Year’s Eve? The prize is this warm tartan scarf.

Enjoy the rest of the food and music and if you happen to read the novel, I would love to know what you think!
Thank you so much for helping me to celebrate another publication.Rosemary
