Cian to the Rescue! Echo of Time #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday @KMNbooks
Tuesday is St. Patrick's Day! So I'm changing it up this week. This is a snippet from my Irish time travel tale...Echo of Time.
If you missed last week's snippet of The Gryphon and His Thief, here's the link:
Set up for this week:
Kendra has just time traveled back in time to medieval Ireland where she's been taken hostage by some unsavory men, but Cian arrives on the scene... He is speaking first.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.
***********************************************************
“I believe the lady asked ye to unhand her.”
Her captor stilled and Kendra craned her neck to see who’d come to her rescue this time. Her lips trembled as she took in the width of her rescuer’s heavy shoulders, hard muscled thighs and face of a god. He had wheat colored hair braided in a medieval style and eyes the color of a stormy sky. Her breath caught in her throat as she realized this was the man she'd envisioned at the Blarney Castle!
The buffoon who held her let her go and readied his broadsword. “Tell me yer name so I, Dougal, may tell yer kin ye have left this world.”
“Cian Laidir o’ the MacCarthys at yer service,” the man bowed with an over exaggerated flair before his lethal gaze sought his adversary, “but I am afraid it is ye who will see the fiery pits o’ hell this day.”

Cian to the rescue!
Hope you enjoyed the snippet. Thanks for stopping by!
This St. Patrick's Day and year long...
May joy and peace surround you,
contentment latch your door
and happiness be with you now
and bless you evermore!

A short Irish paranormal time travel romance Kendra O’Reilly felt a connection with the Blarney Castle as if the echoes of the past could still be heard. The guide tells her a story about the Blarney Stone being the ancient Lia Fáil, one of the magical gifts from the god-like race, the Tuatha Dé Danann. To wish upon it, one will see where his or her destiny lies. Kendra wishes to find her one true love. She never thought she’d be whisked back to fifteen-century Ireland to find him.
Cian MacCarthy, the Lord of Blarney not only possesses the gift of Irish eloquence but he also has visions of the future. He’s waited for Kendra’s arrival, knowing she is his soul mate. Now all he has to do is convince her she belongs at his side.
