It’s #BookQW and ‘simple’ questions are the hardest. More from Chapter 9: “Don’t you have anything better to do?” Ouch. Simple enough question, but it stung since Ty didn’t. These scant minutes of chase and hide were the most excitement he’d had since leaving academy. His mind leaped, his adrenaline rose and his magic pumped, […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern sees the ‘tangle’ threatening the island’s future. More from Book 2 in the Windborne series, Guardian of the Pines: The flying wizards dove to the ground, gusts rising from their huge wings. When the last was down, he shouted, “Clear.” Hands lifted, and a rumble shook the ground. Then the stream […]
It’s #BookQW and will two ‘strong’ personalities sail together? More from Chapter 11: “And I already ken that you telling off your father and leaving home doesn’t change your desires to build a business. You won’t instantly decide to live on a boat because of this.” Was Salm upset they hadn’t gone away? Or about […]
It’s #BookQW and will Luna’s precious memories ‘fade’? More from Chapter 5: Eyes closed, Luna tried to push aside the arguments her sisters determinedly dredged up. Did she dare magically shut off her hearing to avoid the voices around the table? “I’ve been asking you lasses what things of your mother’s you want,” her father […]
It’s #BookQW – will our heroine be ‘allowed’ her independence? More from Chapter 2: Spells, she looks so good. Even cocooned in a life jacket.

It’s #BookQW and our hero loves a ‘strong’ heroine, despite her reluctance to confide in him. More from Chapter 6: Shouts leaked from behind the closed door of the keeper’s quarters. Salm cocked his head—no, he shouldn’t eavesdrop. He backed off several steps. Had Luna told her father already? Then he should knock louder and […]
It’s #BookQW and when my heroine ‘simmers’, my hero is clueless. For a second week, Book Quote Wednesday has chosen I word I rarely use. I must broaden my vocabulary! 😉 More from Chapter 15 to see what’s causing Luna’s upset: Luna spun away and, arms crossed, paced the small salon before turning back to […]
It’s #BookQW and my hero can’t understand her ‘gloom’. This is a word that does not appear in many of my lighthearted novels! I had to check five before I found this one. More from chapter 6: “Tonight has already been lost.” Luna let out a long sigh. “Papa let some pushy old barnacles on […]
It’s #BookQW and better to catch your breath than speak! More from Chapter 6: “If we can’t leave tonight, then after the repair is completed?” “There’s the bearing and…other things. Papa…I canna ask right now.” He stopped himself from blowing out a breath. “I ken you dinnae want to cross your father, but at nineteenth […]
It’s #BookQW and my hero can’t ‘take’ anything for granted! More from Chapter 2: Luna arrived at North Dock looking a dream, her fluffy hair captured beneath a broad sunhat and the lacy hem of her gauzy blue top fluttering around her linen trousers. Spells, she looks so good. Even cocooned in a life jacket. […]
