Happy National Tartan Day!

 

Cameron Tartan,
Crown Copyright, Scottish Register of Tartans

April 6 is National Tartan Day in North America. But I wanted to include fans in the UK with a special Kindle Countdown Sale. After all, the Two Realms series takes place in medieval England and Scotland, and Fairy.

UK lovers of fantasy, shape-shifters, Arthurian legends, fairies, and strong heroines can find The Beltane Escape Kindle Countdown HERE until April 9, 2022. 

But National Tartan Day is celebrated in North America. So in recognition of my Scottish heritage, I featured (above) the ancient Clan Cameron tartan (my mother's clan).

The Scots are great storytellers. My mother was a wonderful writer. As a child, I loved to sit behind her as she tapped away on her typewriter, spinning a new novel or crafting her African memoir. What a satisfying sound when she pulled a finished page from her ancient Corona. 

Here's to Scots everywhere, and to magical lands and legends. And if you'd like to binge on a series inspired by the Motherland, I invite you to explore The Beltane Escape, The Amber Elixir, and The Viking Mist.

Make your mum proud!

Happy reading,

Cat Consultants Hired!

Meet the newest members of the Ariella Moon team!

I love research!

When writing about horses in New Orleans for SPELL FOR SOPHIA, I contacted horse and dog expert, Lisa Gillett, for her insights on horse behavior. I had ridden horses before, which gave me some insider knowledge, but it had been awhile since I had been in the saddle.

Horses I know - somewhat.
Cats, however, are a complete mystery.

What I need as I work on the third book in the Two Realms Trilogy, is a Cat Consultant. One of my fabulous Beta Readers, Kenzi, and her cat Carlos, stepped up. It helps that Kenzi was with me in Iona, Scotland when we encountered the inspiration for the magical cat you'll meet in the upcoming second and third books in the Two Realms Trilogy. I can't wait for Kenzi and Carlos's input!

Beltane blessings!

On May Eve, Druids lit the Bel fires (bright fires, balefires) for luck and protection. Witches jumped the flames to fortify the protection spells. Cattle were driven between the balefires to safeguard the herd. Couples spent the night in the woods “A-Maying.” Married couples cavorted as well. They were allowed to remove their wedding rings, and for the night were free of the restrictions of marriage.

I imagine your May Day - Beltane - is a little less exciting this year. I know mine is! So, to help you transport back to medieval Scotland and Fairy, and plunge you into a kidnapping and budding love triangle (PG rated), I have placed The Beltane Escape on a Kindle Countdown.
