I’m getting a lot of requests for a third The Legacy of MacLeod book which I’d love to provide, but since I never planned for this to be a series I didn’t set the stories up with an obvious third character to give a happily ever after to. If you’ve read either Charming the Shrew or Daring the Highlander (or both!) who would you like to see as the hero or heroine of a third MacLeod book?
Leave a suggestion in the comments. More than one answer is fine!
No spoilers, please!

So much has been happening lately that I can barely keep up with it!
First, if you look to the right, you’ll see my beautiful new cover for The Devil of Kilmartin, designed by the talented Kim Killion at Hot Damn Designs. One of the real pleasures of independently publishing is that I get to experiment with all sorts of things, including covers, so after a year of wonderful sales with my lovely green Celtic knot cover, designed by Kristin Lawrence, I thought I’d see how my book fared with a more traditional romance cover.
What do you think? Will it attract different readers than the green knot one?
Now, on to even bigger book news: I have signed a contract with Amazon’s new romance line, Montlake, to bring out Charming the Shrew and Daring the Highlander in new editions. That means new covers, new descriptions, new marketing that will go way beyond anything I can do on my own to get my book discovered by new readers. It also looks like these books will once more be available in print while also remaining available for the Kindle. If you don’t have a Kindle, never fear, there are free Kindle apps for most any device you can think of.
I’m looking forward to embarking on yet another new adventure in today’s publishing world and can’t wait to see what the new editions of these books will look like. Publication dates are yet to be set, but I was told they will be out in early 2012. How wonderful to sign a publishing contract and not have to wait a year or more to see the results!
Stay tuned for more information as soon as I have it.
Oh, and never fear, I’m hard at work on a new Scottish historical romance – the first of a trilogy. I don’t have a title for the book yet, but the working title for the trilogy is The Highland Targe.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and here’s hoping everyone gets lots of good books (and maybe an eReader!) for Christmas!

There’s nothing like the first really hot days of summer to make me want to curl up somewhere cool and escape into a book. Last week, here in Virginia, we hit 99 and the heat index was over 100 so I thought it was high time to make The Devil of Kilmartin such a deal that you couldn’t possibly pass up the opportunity to escape the heat and journey into the Scottish Highlands where the men are braw and the women like them that way.
To whet your appetite here’s a couple of pictures I took on my research trip for this book.
This is the spot where the hero and heroine meet:
And here is the castle that inspired my Kilmartin Castle:
In true writer’s style, I lifted this castle, moved it west to Argyll,
and plopped it down where a medieval structure once stood.
I fell in love with this castle and my characters really came alive for me within its walls.
Once you’ve got your copy, pull up a piece of shade, or a comfy chair next to an air conditioning vent. Get yourself a cool drink and enjoy one of the pleasures of summer – reading!

I was very excited to get an email late this afternoon from fellow Scottish Romance author Diana Cosby telling me Daring the Highlander (The MacLeods Book II) was sitting at # 80 on Amazon’s top 100 Hot New Releases in Historical Romance list. That’s the Kindle edition right up in there with print books! As I write this it’s moved up to #77 (6 PM EST). I have no idea how these lists are generated, but it’s a huge thrill to find my book on it.
Then I discovered the The Devil of Kilmartin was sitting at #95 on the Amazon Kindle Bestsellers in Historical Fiction list! (Also 6 PM EST)
Though I don’t know how books get placed on the lists, I know the lists get regenerated every hour so my claim to Amazon best-sellerdom may be fleeting, but it’s still very, very sweet.
This calls for another huge Thank You!! to everyone who has bought my books. Guess I better get back to work on the new one!
It’s Black Friday… that has such an ominous tone that I huddle in my home avoiding the masses of shoppers pretty much from now through Christmas. Do I have my shopping done? About half. Will I venture into the stores at all? Of course, but I specialize in the surgical strike. I know what I want, where to get it, and I’m in and out as fast as possible. It helps that I live in a fairly small town (less crowds) and that I pretty much make my own schedule (I can hit the stores early in the morning on week days!). But at this point, I’ll do most of my shopping on-line.
I thought you might like to do that, too, so I’ve cooked up some bargains to help you out with your shopping.
