Check out Photos from recent Highland Games

 

I visit various Scottish Highland games around the country to get ideas for my novels. Watching men in kilts as the march, play the bagpipes, turn the caber, or shoot a longbow is apt to stir anyone's imagination.

Seeing Highland cows with their impressive horns and watching folks dressed in period clothes as they stoke a fire to cook their dinner also stirs my appetite to pull out my laptop and write.

I also love the ocean. Although I grew up on the North Shore of Long Island, I spent many weekends with family and friends in the waves at Fire Island and Jones Beach. These happy memories gave me the idea to set my story opening on the shores of Scotland's North sea.

My latest idea is set around the Christmas holiday which was referred to as Yuletide in medieval times. An author I know suggested we get together with other authors and each write  stories set around medieval Scotland and the Yuletide season. Of course, romance plays a big part in each historical tale! Who knew those brand new stories would come together in time for the upcoming holiday season?

I got together with Allison Butler, Aurrora St. James, and Ria Cantrell to share our Christmas stories with all our readers.

YULETIDE KISSES: a Medieval Christmas Romance Anthology

My story is titled

A GIFT FROM THE SEA

A shipwrecked son of a clan chieftain, Monroe hides his full identity from the young lass who saves him from the waves, and her brothers. An attack by seafaring warriors puts all their lives in danger and the resulting deaths place a shadow over the upcoming Christmas Festivities. Leading Gwyn and her family toward his home far from the coast of Scotland’s North Sea could be a mistake, yet be the only way to keep them all alive.

COVER REVEAL for YULETIDE KISSES

Earlier this year, I agreed to write a story to be included in an ebook antholgy with three other authors. I have done things like this in the past, but this is the first time we are all writing brand new stories with a general theme: Medieval romances set during Yuletide (more contemporarily known as the Christmas holiday season).

My story is set on the shores of Scotland's North Sea and is titled A Gift from the Sea. Here is the plot:

Gwyn’s life changes the moment the naked sailor on the beach opens his eyes. Helping him hide from the others and getting him to safety in her barn goes awry when strangers attack. Did they follow Monroe? Leaving her home was the right thing to do, but meeting his wealthy friend proves embarrassing to a farm girl. A chance meeting with a neighbor gives Monroe the wrong idea, and he leaves. When she follows him, we find her begging for Monroe’s life.

  

A shipwrecked son of a clan chieftain, Monroe hides his full identity from the young lass who saves him from the waves, and her brothers. An attack by seafaring warriors puts all their lives in danger and the resulting deaths place a shadow over the upcoming Christmas Festivities. Leading Gwyn and her family toward his home far from the coast of Scotland’s North Sea could be a mistake, yet be the only way to keep them all alive.
