Give Away Monday: What Happens In Scotland

Monday, May 13th, 2013 | Give Away Mondays | 10 Comments

I got home from the RT Convention a week ago, but I am still inspired by the fabulous people I met there. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be doing Give Aways of books I collected during my time in Kansas City. These novels are so much fun, I want to share them with you.

I got to meet Jennifer McQuiston, author of WHAT HAPPENS IN SCOTLAND during my session The Hottest Sex in History. I devoured her book in one day.  Clearly, Jennifer could have taught the class with us…

Gone for An Age

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013 | Shakespeare in Love, The Writing Life | 2 Comments

It is outlandish to be gone from my own blog for so long. My excuses are deadlines, as always, but also traveling. I had an amazing time at this year’s Romantic Times Convention, enjoying myself with Jennifer Weltz, CW Gortner, Stephanie Dray, Kate Quinn, and Donna Russo Morin during our off hours.

I got to spend a little time with my fabulous editor, Leah and the lovely Beth from Sourcebooks as well. One thing that a convention can do is to remind us of who our tribe is. This one did that for me in spades.

So I return home, and to my writing, the work I love, the storytelling that has been a blessing to me all of my life.

My current WIP is MUCH ADO ABOUT JACK in which Angelique Beauchamp, Anthony’s mistress from HOW TO TAME A WILLFUL WIFE finally finds her true love. About time, I say.

In Defense of King John

Monday, April 22nd, 2013 | English Historical Fiction Authors | No Comments

Today I am taking a break from romance,  Regency fun and give aways of all kinds to defend King John. As you probably know, I am obsessed with the early Plantagenets. I’ve always thought of John as Eleanor’s true heir. He was not glamorous the way Richard was. He did not always win as Henry II did. But he was a survivor.

So on the fabulous English Historical Fiction Authors website, I stand up for this much maligned king.  Here’s to John…

The first book in Amanda Scott’s acclaimed Dangerous series journeys from the battlefields of Waterloo to the ballrooms and boudoirs of London, where a deadly deception unfolds . . .

Engaged by proxy to a man she’s never met, Lady Daintry Tarrant is dismayed when the war hero returns, introducing himself as her fiancé, Lord Penthorpe. She cherishes her independence and has turned away many suitors, but this one she must marry. Penthorpe is completely captivated by Lady Daintry—but he’s not who he claims to be.

Penthorpe and Lord Gideon Deverill fought together at the battle of Waterloo, and when Penthorpe fell, Gideon assumed his identity in order to see the beautiful Lady Daintry. Gideon knows there’s bad blood between Lady Daintry’s family and his own, but he’s smitten with Daintry and determined to reunite the bitterly feuding clans. When a ghost from Gideon’s past appears, he could lose everything—including Daintry’s love.

To save her beloved homeland, a proud Highland beauty named Mary Kate MacPherson must wage her own battle when she’s forced into wedlock with a knight, Sir Adam Douglas, from the barbaric borderland of Tornary.

Even as she succumbs to her seductive husband’s sensual demands, Mary Kate vows never to give him her heart. She will belong to no man. But Adam burns with something deeper than desire. Sworn to carry out a long-awaited revenge, he won’t rest until he has vanquished his enemies.

Forbidden passion has never been more dangerous—or more irresistible—in the first novel of bestselling author Amanda Scott’s spellbinding Highland series

Scotland, 1750. In the aftermath of the Jacobite rebellion, Maggie MacDrumin vows to keep fighting to liberate her people. But the intrepid Scotswoman is risking her life for a dangerous cause. When her latest mission lands her in a London courtroom on a trumped-up larceny charge, she has only one hope of survival. Enlisting the aid of Edward Carsley, the powerful fourth Earl of Rothwell, is a two-edged sword. The seductive aristocrat who awakens treacherous desire is her clan’s mortal enemy—a man she can never trust.

Edward will do whatever it takes to quell another bloody uprising. But how can he fight his passion for the rebellious Highland beauty in his safekeeping? As their lives come under siege, Maggie lays claim to the one thing Edward vowed never to surrender: his heart.
