Brandywine Brides – and the Writers Who Lunch
A couple of years ago, after decades of knowing each other, a small group of writer friends began to gather for lunch once a month. We would talk about family and life but then the topics would turn inevitably to writing and stories, the market and contracts, and other publishing topics. We were a mixed group – all published, most by traditional publishers, some of us trying our hand at indie publishing, too. Finally, someone said — hey, we’re all writers, we should write something together!
And that was the beginning our our series – The Blackwood Legacy – and our first anthology – Brandywine Brides!
We gathered for planning sessions. We climbed into cars and did road trips all over Chester County PA, looking at stone houses, horse farms and the Brandywine River as it ran down through historic Chadds Ford. It took months before the family’s history and the idea of the first connected collection took shape. One writer had to bow out and we recruited another to take her place. Finally, seven stories about seven generations of the Blackwood family took shape – from the patriarch Finlan Blackwood in 1721 down to the current owner and namesake Finn Blackwood. 
Brandywine Brides is now available for pre-order and will debut on April 25 — we hope you’ll give us and the Blackwood Family a try…. it’s at a special price now – 99¢ – and available at most retailers
One Family ~ Seven Generations ~ A Legacy of Love
Claiming His Highland Bride – coming in June!
Isn’t it beautiful? I just got the cover of my upcoming Harlequin Historical – Claiming His Highland Bride – and I love it! Don’t you? 
This is Alan Cameron’s story – readers have been watching grow up since STOLEN BY THE HIGHLANDER when his skills at finding people led him into the middle of things. Then, in KIDNAPPED BY THE HIGHLAND ROGUE, he honorably offered to marry the disgraced heroine when he thought she needed his help. Now, he’s got his own heroine and all the problems that go along with that! And his story is a transition in my “A Highland Feuding” series – from the Mackintosh side of the feud to the Cameron side….which should be fun!
If you’re interested in pre-ordering, linksfor most major retailers and in most formats are on the book page . I hope you’ll give Alan and Sorcha a try. And let me know what you think of the cover? Harlequin has given us our name fonts back – I just love the crisp look of my name in all CAPS and they’ve gone back to the medallion (rather than covering the top 25% of the cover in a purple swath)… I like that, too!
The Big Finale…

Now, I’m releasing my novella UPON A MISTY SKYE by itself — and it’s available now for preorder!
The story — On Scotland’s Isle of Skye, Alexander MacDonald and Isabel MacLeod were not supposed to meet or fall in love or marry. Now that they have, their parents mean to separate them, by any means possible. But the ghost of Duntulm Castle has other plans for the forbidden lovers.
