Join me in a warm welcome for Maeve Grayson ~ Let's talk a lil' holiday chaos and books... shall we? Holy Crap! It’s only TEN days ‘til Christmas…
I mentioned that fact to a co-worker and I was promptly told to shut up. Hmm…it appears some folks have reached “Holiday Critical Mass”. That uncomfortable state where you realize in order to get everything ready for the perfect celebration, you better gear down and haul ass.
Clark W. Griswold of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation immediately comes to mind when it comes to “Holiday Critical Mass”. If you’ve never enjoyed that holiday classic, I highly recommend it. A good laugh relieves holiday stress and you’ll be surprised how much you can relate to everything that happens to poor old Clark. I’m also going to let you in on a little secret: no matter how much money you spend, pre-cooking you do, or pre-planning you chart and diagram…something is going to go wrong and you know what? It won’t matter. Christmas will still come. The only thing that truly matters is that you’re lucky enough to be surrounded by people who love you –even if you do occasionally screw something up. Reference the Who’s in Whoville and how the Grinch couldn’t steal their Christmas. Love is all that really matters. Don’t you agree?
And since we’re in the middle of this season of giving –one lucky commenter will be selected by Jasper to receive either a print copy or an ecopy (pdf format) of BEYOND A HIGHLAND WHISPER –commenter’s choice− and I’ll also include a sweet packet of some of the promo stuff I’m taking to RT in April. Neat stuff like a cover flat of ETERNITY’S MARK, a rack card with eye candy, ink pens…you know –the kind of goodies that make reading romance just a little more fun. And if you go to my website (www.maevegreyson.com) and sign up to receive my newsletter, your name will be entered in the drawing twice! (And don’t worry – I only send newsletters when I have NEWS – I promise I won’t over-stuff your inbox and I will NEVER share your email.)
All my best to each and every one of you and may your holidays be filled with warmth, laughter and above all: may your days overflow with love.Maeve’s books:
Can love prevail over the dark magic of a woman scorned?
The last time Latharn MacKay walked among his kinsman was in Scotland of 1410. Sensuous and charismatic, all the women wanted him, but none could capture his heart. Latharn's charm became his curse when a dark sorceress didn’t take rejection well. She snared his soul into a crystal globe until the one woman destined to be his love whispered his release. Now all Latharn has to do is find her and guide her to him without speaking a word.
One of the youngest archeologists in St Louis of 2010, Nessa credits one thing for this achievement: the recurring dream of a heart-stopping Highlander since the summer she turned eighteen years old. Little does she know, he's not some fantasy cooked up by her subconscious. He’s a trapped soul determined for Nessa to end his six centuries in hell.
The Highlander's Fury – March 2, 2012 from The Wild Rose Press
An average day in the life of an immortal Fury?
Flex powers. Locate evil. Administer justice.
Until Ciara’s goddess mothers convince her to seduce a brooding mortal and bear the man a gifted child. All she has to do is swap places with his betrothed. A simple task−become the seductive wife, bear the man a child and train the young one in the Ways. Once the boy reaches seven years of age, they’ll swap her back with the wife Faolan thinks he selected and Ciara can resume her job of rousting wickedness from the world.
Faolan MacKay’s advisors plague him daily about his matrimonial duties as laird, dragging prospects from across the Highlands: plump dowries attached to each one.
Faolan’s lost everyone he’s ever loved. He’d rather go straight to the fiery pits of Hell than down the wedding aisle. Out of desperation, a plan takes seed. He’ll select a wife he can ignore. There’s just one problem with this foolproof theory. Nobody ignores Ciara.
Against his better judgment, he’s enthralled with the woman and to Ciara’s surprise, this strange thing called love burns hotter than her hunger for vengeance.
At the end of the seven years the ruse is up, all will return to as it was. Can the bond of love overcome the mandate of the ultimate powers?
A sexy Scot. A mystical inheritance. What could go wrong?
Veterinarian Hannah MacPherson knows better than to believe in love at first—or any—sight.
True, being swept away by Taggart de Gaelson to the vast Scottish castle she’s mysteriously inherited is uber-romantic. The legacy is totally legitimate, and its messenger is big, broad-shouldered, and smokin’ in more ways than one…
Too bad Taggart forgot to mention that Hannah’s also a Guardian of magical dragons called the Draecna. And as Hannah’s sworn otherworldly protector, Taggart is honor-bound not to lay a hand on her, no matter how close he gets…
But turning duty into pleasure is just too tempting. And for Hannah, mastering her powers and saving two worlds from evil will be way easier than showing one hardheaded warrior that breaking all the rules means they are eternally made for each other…
