I have three projects 'on the go' at the moment. I'm hard at work on WIND SONG, Book 2 of the Kingdom of Northumbria series. I've also made a good start on BARBARIAN SLAVE, Book 2 of The Warrior Brothers of Skye series. I've also embarked on Book #2 of the Epic Fantasy Romance Light and Darkness series (title still to be decided). Read more about all these projects below. Historical Romance THE KINGDOM OF NORTHUMBRIA—BOOK #2 WIND SONG BUT SHE RULES HIS HEART  Northumbria, Britain—684 AD Hea isn’t like other women. The feisty daughter of a seer, she lives alone in the fort of Bebbanburg and survives by selling flowers, herbs and potions. However, she has also inherited her mother’s gift—and when King Ecgfrith requests her skills she can’t refuse him. Ecgfrith, the ruler of Northumbria, is having trouble with the Picts, the warlike people to the north. He needs a seer’s guidance in dealing with them. The Pictish king, Bridei mac Beli is demanding freedom from his Angle overlord. Hea and Bridei know each other. Bridei fostered at Bebbanburg, and Hea has longed for him ever since. Eight years later they meet again, and sparks fly. Arrogant and ambitious, Bridei is used to getting what he wants—and Hea discovers he’s the only man she can’t refuse. Yet he’s a Pict and she’s an Angle. Bridei will do anything to win back his people’s land from Northumbria, and Hea has sworn her loyalty to her king. As the shadow of war looms, it seems any chance they have at love is lost … or is it? FIRST DRAFT COMPLETE—EDITING IN PROGRESS!
