Hi everyone.
Yes,
as you can see I’m finally back. I managed to finish my rural romance which is the
second instalment in the Violet Falls series but then I was hit with the winter
lurgy. Anyway, I’m better and feeling like I’m back on top of things (which is
always a bonus).
As
I’ve been quite slack lately, my writing list has grown but I haven’t managed
to cross much off it. So it’s high time that I became a little more proactive
and start writing ‘properly’ again.
I’m
taking a tiny break before I begin my next Australian rural romance and
finishing off a fairytale that I started last year. I’ve written over half of
it and it would be a shame not to finish Mariella and Prince Navarre’s story. My
Wolven Heart is the second book in the Tales from the Hearthfire series, the
first being Black is the Colour.
Tales
from the Hearthfire tells the stories of the three Rubana sisters, Ciana,
Mariella and Elisabetta. In Black is the Colour, Ciana (the youngest) had to
save her lover from the witch’s curse. It was a story about true love, magic
and ravens.
My
Wolven Heart is the eldest sister’s story. Mariella finds herself forcibly
married to a man she loathes and separated from her beloved sisters.
Here’s
a bit of a blurb –
Forced
into a marriage she never wanted. Mariella finds herself in a dark and
mysterious world. The village of Darcel Holt is hidden in the heart of a deep
wood. It is steeped in misery, slavery and fur. As Mariella unravels the
secrets of the village she must ask herself, who is truly the monster -
Mariella’s new husband or the enigmatic stranger in the forest?
Prince
Navarre Trevoré must fight to free his people from their bound slavery. He has
no time to dally with a mortal – particularly the wife of his sworn enemy. But
Mariella’s kindness touches his heart and her soulful eyes haunt his dreams and
cause him to entertain thoughts that he never should have.
So
this is what I’m spending the next couple of weeks on. As much as I love the
contemporary rural romances (and I really do love them), it’s nice to dip back
into a fantasy medieval world which is filled with enchantment and in this
particular case, werewolves. J

Blurb
Ciana has loved Oran all her life
and nothing, not even her father will prevent them from being together. But the
Mayor of Stonemark has higher aspirations for his daughter than the village
blacksmith. He engages the help of a witch and dark magic to bend Ciana to his
will.
Oran knows that he doesn’t deserve
Ciana. But their love is stronger than the metal he forges and welds. She has
his heart and he will never turn from her no matter the cost.
Separated, Ciana will need all her
strength to journey through the deep forest and save Oran from the witch’s
curse. Alone and with only a trail of black feathers to follow, Ciana will
fight against the odds and attempt to bring her lover home.
Round double, double you go,
Until black feathers upon you grow.
Beak and claw, talon and wing,
Now with raven’s voice you will sing.
To the heavens you shall fly,
It is my will –
So say I.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
