Medieval Monday – Families

It’s almost time for another series of Medieval Monday posts. If you’ve only just joined me, here’s how it works. Each week I’ll be sharing an excerpt from a Medieval romance by a guest author, and she’ll be sharing an excerpt from my book on her blog. The blog hop will run for eight weeksContinue reading “Medieval Monday – Families”

Medieval Monday with Barbara Bettis

This week on Medieval Monday I’m delighted to share an excerpt from Barbara Bettis’ The Lady of the Forest. Paxton already must have arrived to spread his lies. Damnation. “This has all been a mistake,” he insisted. “You might well think so.” She edged closer as they spoke. Something about her hair—its remarkable color—danced atContinue reading “Medieval Monday with Barbara Bettis”

Meet Roger- cover reveal

I love getting covers through. There’s always a slight anxiety that the model or scene won’t resemble anything in the book but so far (Saxon’s black hair aside) I’ve been very pleased with mine. The cover for Redeeming the Rogue Knight was particularly important because it was my first book that was linked to aContinue reading “Meet Roger- cover reveal”

Medieval Monday- Aelric’s Fate

It’s the final Medieval Monday in the Villains theme and I’m finishing where I started with an excerpt from The Saxon Outlaw’s Revenge. The final excerpt picks up Constance’s story after Robert has taken his revenge on Aelric. At the mercy of her enemy! Abducted by Saxon outlaws, Constance Arnaud comes face to face withContinue reading “Medieval Monday- Aelric’s Fate”

Medieval Monday

Bob Geldof sang that he didn’t like Mondays but I do because it means another Medieval Monday excerpt. Today I’m hosting Lane McFarland.

Medieval Monday: New theme, new style!

We have a new theme for Medieval Mondays and a new way of sharing our excerpts. The theme is Villains so join us to find some of the nastiest, most ruthless bad guys who ever plagued our heroes and heroines. Rather than share a whole excerpt in one go each of us is hosting a shorter snippetContinue reading “Medieval Monday: New theme, new style!”

It’s the season of romance (unless you’re cynical and Northern like me). To celebrate Valentine’s Day Harlequin are running a giveaway with a difference. All the authors taking part are giving away a copy of one of their own books and a secret surprise title by another author. I’m giving away a copy of TheContinue reading “Valentine Giveaway”

We’re nearing the end of the celebration theme (a new one with some exciting changes is coming soon) so I’m pleased to be able to share this excerpt by Rue Allyn from Knight Defender. Sent alone to Scotland to wed a wild Scot and serve the needs of her father and her king, Lady JessamynContinue reading “Medieval Monday- Rue Allyn”

What’s in a name?

I was a chapter and a half into a WIP when I realised something wasn’t working. After redrafting and editing and still getting nowhere with what I knew could be a great story it dawned on me the problem wasn’t with the story but with the heroine. I just wasn’t feeling her (unlike the heroContinue reading “What’s in a name?”
