Happy Reading!

The Angel and The Highlander

I can't believe that next week The Angel and The Highlander will be in bookstores. When I started the Sinclare brothers' series I enjoyed getting to know Lachlan, but then he wasn't a man you could ignore. He was the charmer of the four brothers, the one the women found irresistible and the one who had no plans of marrying anytime soon. He enjoyed his single life and watching the problems his two brothers, Cavan and Artair faced when falling in love, he determined that love wasn't for him, he was sure of it.
So naturally, I pondered what type of woman would best suit him, who would be the one who would change his mind. As I got to know Lachlan better, I soon realized it wasn't so much the woman, but love itself that would change his thoughts. Of course I couldn't make it easy for him. He faces all sorts of obstacles and even when he thinks everything is all right, he discovers nothing is what he thought it was. Lachlan has to work to keep hold of the woman he loves and let me tell you he doesn't give up. He actually makes a decision no one expects him to make. He's a true hero.
And of course I didn't forget Ronan, the youngest of the Sinclare brothers, who has yet to return home. You'll find out more about what's going on with him, and perhaps you can figure out what's keeping him from coming home, if you haven't already.
I'll be reminding everyone again about The Angel and The Highlander's release, after all Lachlan wouldn't want you to miss his story.

Sneak Peek

If you'd like to take a sneak peek read of the third book in the Sinclare brothers' series, The Angel and The Highlander, then pop on over to Avon's Love Gives Back. And after you're done getting a taste of Lachlan, you can read Return of the Rogue in its entirety there, though time is limited, so don't waste a moment.
Each month Avon offers new releases for sneak peeks and the authors choose a back list title to make available to their readers. I chose Return of the Rogue so that those who haven't read the first book in the Sinclare brothers' series would have the opportunity to meet the brothers from the beginning. And if you're new to the series, Artair's story Under The Highlander's Spell follows Return of the Rogue. The four book series ends with the youngest of the Sinclare brothers, Ronan. His book Highlander's Forbidden Bride has a tentative release date of January 2010.
It seems like only yesterday the Sinclare brothers introduced themselves to me and I began telling their stories. I loved being involved in their lives and cheered as each one found love. And I looked forward to bringing Ronan home to his family. I can't say I have a favorite brother, since all four have distinct personalities that I found more than simply appealing. They are each special in their own way.
So hurry and go read the sneak peek and see what Lachlan, the charmer of the four brothers is up to.

Spring!

Spring is in the air today, though it's not official for two days. But don't tell my flower pots, buds have already popped through the soil eager for the warm sunshine. I can see into the small cropping of woods beyond the terrace, the stirrings of crocus and daffodils inching their way past the leaves on the ground, happy they will bloom before the trees burst full with leaves and hides their beautiful colors from me.
The birds will soon build their nests stealing bits and pieces from my flower pots, though I don't mind the little felons since their antics are quite entertaining. As is the liveliness of the squirrels that race up and down the trees playfully after each other, though get down to business when it's nest-building time.
The plump groundhogs surprise me with their speed and busyness. And the chipmunks are a delight to watch. While I agree hawks are beautiful, I prefer them to stay away from my little woods and dine elsewhere. Sometimes I need to convince them with the wave of a broomstick in their direction, if they're perched on a nearby branch.
What else grows and blooms in the spring? Why love of course, and it doesn't matter if it is a new love or renewing love. The wondrous feeling flits in the air bouncing along with no regard to destination. When it hits you, you know it. There's just no denying it. Your smile is wider, your step lighter and your days brighter.
So be on the lookout. You can never tell when love is going to flit around and land on you.
Happy spring!

Highlander's Forbidden Bride

Ronan's book has a title... Highlander's Forbidden Bride. A very fitting title for his tale and the last book in the Sinclare brothers series. I can't believe I'm about to start the edits on Ronan's book. It brings me that much closer to it being finished and me saying good-bye to the Sinclares. I have so enjoyed sharing their lives.
I shouldn't get melancholy too soon. After all, Lachlan and Alyce have their story to tell and it's an exciting one. You wouldn't expect anything less from a charmer like Lachlan.
So while I'm beginning the finishing touches to Ronan's story, get set for Lachlan's. He won't disappoint. He may be a charmer, but he knows how to love! Of course, Alyce teaches him a thing or two, and he doesn't mind the lessons.
Oh, for the spring, flowers blooming, love in the air and the release of Lachlan and Alyce's book The Angel and The Highlander!

Buried in Writing

I've been buried in my writing and because of that I haven't had anything new to report. I did get a peek at Lachlan's book cover and it's great, but I can't share it with you just yet.
I've also been piling up some books to lose myself in when I'm finished with Ronan's book. You'll find the list posted here soon.

Sunrise & Promises

I sat on the beach and watched the sunrise this morning. It peeked on the ocean's horizon and slowly the flaming orange ball rose majestically as if from the depths of the sea. Its ascent flooded the land with light and warmth, and I thought along with it came the promise of a new day. Always a new beginning, a chance for a new start, change. Whatever it is you need, you have that promise of another chance with the sunrise.
In Lachlan's book, The Angel and The Highlander, he and Alyce, the heroine, watch the sunrise on a hillside in the Scottish Highlands. They talk and get to know one another and naturally fall in love. He makes her a promise, one that may be more difficult to keep than he realizes, but then there's always sunrise and a chance for new beginnings.
