Her true love is Scottish history.
She has spent the last 25 years
helping
her grandfather, a retired historian,
sort, restore and rewrite the history
of
their family in Scotland and England.
That is where she came across the
basis for her novel "A Restless
Knight"
(Kensington, July 2006), set in the
year before the rising of William
Wallace. She had begun work on those
pages for the history of her family in
the late 1200s and thought it was a
perfect story to make a marvellous
novel. Her second novel-in-the-
works, "In Her Bed" August 2007,
Kensington, a series of books on the
saga of Scotland's war for
independence. Next - One Snowy
Knight (October 2008) and followed
by Yield to the Knight.
She also writes paranormal contemporary
romances, which will be put out by
Dorchester Publishing (2006). The
first two "The Invasion of Falgannon
Isle" (December 2006, Love Spell)
the second "Riding the Thunder"
(October 2007), the first two in a
series of seven books.

A Killing Tide
by P.J. Alderman
"debut novel near flawless in its execution"
Posted December 25, 2006
Author, P.J. Alderman comes off the starter's block with a
powerful novel, hardly showing this is her first book.
Many first-time novelists want to tell too much, flood the
first part of a novel with back-story; it's only when you
get into the action of the plot do the Read more...
Love in a Bottle
by Zoe Archer
"Charmy, sexy, wonderful"
Posted February 21, 2007
This is my first book by Zoe Archer--won't be the last.
Zowie! What a wonderfully original tale. Ian Blackpool

sizzles, but it's not just the hot love story, its the
depth of these wonderful characters that held me
mesmerized.

You Belong To Me
by Patricia Sargeant
"A chilling, riveting debut"
Posted February 21, 2007
This debut novel marks Patricia Sargent's entry into the
chiller field. She gives you strong characters in a

finish. I was very impressed by the depth of her
characters, not perfect people, but people with dreams,
desires¯and faults.

Lost Calling
by Evelyn Vaughn
"Bombshell at it's best!"
Posted February 21, 2007

One of the best laugh out loud, feel good books of 2005 was

Posted July 18, 2006
Stuart gives you a double-dose of true historical romance.

Stuart Magic that has kept me spellbound since my first
Stuart book, To Love a Dark Lord, she takes the old and Read more...

titles - called the "High Concept". At a writers
convention you have a very Read more...
