The coast of Scotland's eastern shore features in my new book A Gift from the Sea. It is one of four books in the newest anthology, titled
A Medieval Christmas anthology
To celebrate, the four authors have gotten together to offer a fantastic gift...no purchase necessary (but we hope you buy the book!)
LAST KNOWN PORT
by Sue Anger
1923 was the year for boats and booze and rag and jazz.
And
the occasional missing sailor.
Anxious to see his brother after sailing
off-shore for weeks, Jake Parson sails into Beaufort, North Carolina, in the
Spring of 1923. After he docks in the harbor, he learns his brother is missing
at sea. Set against Prohibition’s backdrop of boats and booze and rag and jazz,
Jake senses foul play and believes the answers to his brother’s disappearance
lay in the port town. His search leads him into the rum-running operations
of Beaufort’s watermen.

Sue Anger's Debut Novel
LAST KNOWN PORT
from Dorrance Publishing.
Sue Anger grew up in Beaufort, North Carolina, where the past is always present. As a child, it was easy for Sue to walk around Beaufort’s windy streets, sail her waters and imagine the folks who had passed before her. And she never tired of listening to the stories of the land and the sea. Connect with Sue here: SueAnger.com

We arrived home last week from an 11 day trip through New England with only two partial days of rain. Now we are in the possible path of Hurricane Ian. Raleigh, NC is ready and we are very happy we had three dead or dying trees removed in the last year. We have family in Florida who did not make it through the storm unfazed.
All I can do is work on all the photos I took during our trip, keep in contact with family, and get back to a 'normal' existence. Possible? Who knows. while the power flows and the flooding is kept at bay, I will work and think up new stories. Here are a few photos as a hint to next week's blog post.
STAY SAFE!
It is still summer here in Raleigh, NC. I can keep the doors and windows open later each day, but we are still seeing temperatures in the mid-eighties. Soon enough we will be complaining of the cold. With floods in some communities and raging fire in others, I take a moment each day to enjoy what I have...a house, a family, and my health.
Schools are back in session. I am looking forward to learning more about the craft of writing at the next in-person meeting with the members of my local Romance Writers of America chapter. Yes, 'seeing' them all on Zoom was okay, but in-person is different.
In the meantime , I will soon be autographing books at the New Hampshire Highland Games in Lincoln, NH and you can get info and directions HERE.
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.
Besides my book, new stories written by
Aurrora St. James and Allison Butler and Ria Cantrell
are included
To celebrate the November 1st publication of Yuletide Kisses,
I gave away an Autographed Print Copy
of my most recent book in the Treasure Tales series
THE DUKE'S DIAMOND
which is also set in Scotland
and the winner is...GLENDA M!
Recently author Donna Steele and I held a Christmas in July promotion that was fun and eventful. I love Christmas, but I am not in a hurry for winter. However, launching my new boxed set was the intention and it worked. Find all Buy Links for Clan of Dragons HERE.
So, during August I head outside each morning, surrounded by nature, and read a book. Once the temperature hits 82F, I have to go back inside, but the morning air is invigorating. I do long for the simple days when we had a Golden Retriever puppy and we lived near the beach. I keep those memories alive. I hope your memories are as well.
In the meantime, READ!
