Focuses on
Highland Savior
By
Sarah Hoss
Sarah has agreed to sit in the hot seat today and answer a few questions. Are you ready?
Yes, I am and thanks for inviting me.
Please tell the readers about the book that is being showcased today.
I’m writing about three Macpherson brothers and HIGHLAND SAVIOR is about the second brother, Hamish.
How did you come up with the concept for this book?
I started writing Dreams of the Highlander and once the story was finished, I knew I wanted to continue it and give each brother their own story. I love time travel, so that was installed as well.
What are you working on now?
I am working on book 3, James’s story.
Okay, now for a few harder questions. Do you write in more than one genre? If so, why?
I do. I write Historical paranormal romance and contemporary romance. I had always planned on writing in the first, but the latter came to me by accident. I wrote a novella for a contest and it became published. I continue to write contemporary novellas so I can have something to put out between the novels and so that I would have a broader audience.
Accidents can be good then. What’s the first book, in the genre you write in, that you remember reading?
I remember reading the Grey Eagle series by Janelle Taylor. My older sister lent them to me.
Now let’s try some personal questions. We like to travel. What is the farthest place from your home that you have visited?
Abaco Island, Bahamas
The most fun place?
Disney World in Florida
That’s one of our favorite places as well. How about the most relaxing place?
Winterpark Colorado
The most historic place?
Gettysburgh, Pennsylvania
You came through that fine now let’s try quickies. We’ll give you a category and you give us a one word answer, and yes we know for a writer that is hard, so as close to one word as possible. Ready?
Yes.
Favorite food? Filet mingon and a baked potato
Favorite singer or band? Journey
Favorite season? Tie between fall and winter
Favorite flower? daisy
Favorite color? green
Mug or teacup? mug
See this is really easy. Now name three interesting things most people don’t know about you.
1) I took tap and jazz dance classes from the age of 6-22. I traveled all over the Midwest and down to Florida for competitions and I also participated as an extra in the Pan Am Opening Ceremonies back in the 80’s.
2) I hate cherry flavored drinks
3) I am a “bonus” baby being 13, 12, and 7 years younger than my siblings.
Donald’s mother made him take dancing lessons when he was younger but never to the extent of competition. Let’s get back to some book questions since you write in a mix of several genres.
What are the unusual paranormal elements in your book? Our books have shape shifters with the ability to shift to more than one persona.
I love to read and write about time travel and that is the paranormal element to my books.
Your books also have a historical element. How do you do your historical research? (books, travel, internet, reenactments)
I go to reenactments and a lot of research on the internet.
Plus you write in the time travel genre and there are no reenactments to visit. So, what’s your favorite time travel book or movie?
The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon.
It’s been a pleasure having you here today, Sarah. As you say goodbye, can you leave the readers with an encapsulation of your life’s philosophy? (a quote, a verse, a precept you live by or have tried to instill in your children?)
Those who mind, don’t matter, and those who matter, don’t mind. Dr. Suess.
If you’ve enjoyed finding out about the author take a look at the following for some idea of what her book is like.
Blurb for Highland Savior
Hamish Macpherson is surrounded by turmoil: an arsonist is on the loose, he’s in the middle of a feud with a local clansman, and just as he’s trying to save his sister from a burning cottage, he appears in the middle of a foreign living room three hundred years past his own time.
Gillian Meadows thinks she’s self-sufficient and can handle anything until she witnesses a murder in the alley next to an Olde City tavern. In a desperate run to escape being the next victim, she stumbles into a wiccan store and accepts the help of the shop owner. But one misspoken word of a simple incantation can change everything.
Neither world is safe, but Hamish can better protect Gillian if he returns to his own time. Gillian has no choice but to go with him if she wants to escape the danger closing in. Little do they know that his past could be the biggest threat of all to their future.
