I've got two projects on the go at the moment. I've made a start on WARRIOR'S HEART, the first in a new series (THE PICT WARS) set in Dark Ages Isle of Skye (which starts around twenty years after THE WARRIOR BROTHERS OF SKYE series). I've also begun work on Book #3 of the LIGHT AND DARKNESS series: PATH OF THE DARK. Read more about my works in progress below. Historical Romance THE PICT WARS—BOOK #1 WARRIOR'S HEART  Fina is a fierce Pict warrior of The Eagle tribe upon Dark Ages Isle of Skye. Strong-willed and lethal with a knife or a long-bow, she kneels to no man ... until the day she falls in battle and finds herself captive of the enemy. Varar mac Urcal is the arrogant, ruthless chieftain of The Boar tribe. Although his father had held the peace with the neighboring tribe, relations have swiftly deteriorated since his death. When Varar takes the only enemy survivor of a violent skirmish prisoner, he intends to use Fina as a weapon to keep his enemies in check. Only, his strong attraction to his fiery captive risks complicating his ambitions. But the conflict between the two tribes isn't the only threat to peace. When a group of invaders cross from the mainland intent on taking The Winged Isle as their own, the four tribes of the island must make a decision. Do they continue their feuding and risk annihilation, or do they band together against the invaders? Fina and Varar must also make a choice. Love or hate—they have to decide. MANUSCRIPT IN PROGRESS: 30% COMPLETE Epic Fantasy Romance LIGHT AND DARKNESS #3 PATH OF THE DARK  A woman with a dark past and the son of a dictator meet on the eve of war. Dive into a high-stakes Epic Fantasy adventure filled with flawed, complex characters, and an emotional slow-burn romance. The Four Kingdoms of Serran stand upon the brink of open war. Ryana is an enchanter in the Order of Light and Darkness. Restless, with an independent and a rebellious spirit, she struggles with the path she has chosen in life. However, when she meets the captain who has been sent to negotiate peace between two kingdoms of the brink of war, she is reminded of her shadowy past—one she'd rather forget. Elias of Anthor has been sent to assassinate the King of Rithmar. It's a mission his father gave him as punishment for disappointing him, and Elias doesn't expect to survive. Succeed or fail—either way, he's a doomed man. But when the assassination attempt goes awry, Elias finds himself, not dead, but a prisoner of the enemy. Enraged by the betrayal, the King of Rithmar launches a campaign to the south, to bring down the dictator who threatens not the peace of their kingdom, but that of the entire continent. It's a campaign as bold as it is risky. Elias and Ryana travel with the army. He's a prisoner and she serves her king, yet a bond neither of them expects grows between them. And as a great battle between looms Ryana finds herself considering an impossible choice. Will she betray her own people once again for love? MANUSCRIPT IN PROGRESS: 16% COMPLETE |
