CYNTHIA AND CONSTANTINE

Beyond Camelot – Brother Knights, Book 1

Available at :  Amazon

Lady Cynthia of Abertaine is trapped. Not only has the man she is to marry, Sir William Leyborne, not been back to the castle for over ten years, but she’s also not a titled Lady. Lord Simon of Cowell, a renegade warlord aligned with Mordred against Arthur and his Knights, has declared himself sovereign over Leyborne Castle and everything that once belonged to Sir William - including Cynthia.

Sir Constantine, Knight of the Round Table, has come to the shire to give Cynthia the news that William has fallen in battle. With him is William’s oral will giving all he owns to Cynthia as though they had been wed. But when he finds the shire under the control of an evil warlord, he knows he cannot leave without first freeing Cynthia and driving Simon and his soldiers from the land.

Drawn together by an attraction older than time, Cynthia and Constantine soon discover that though a vow made by a knight’s honor has brought them together, it may just also cost them their lives.

BRAEDEN AND JANNE

Beyond Camelot – Brother Knights, Book 2

Available at:  Amazon | B&N

Duty and desire clash to save a new Camelot from the sons of Mordred.

After his brother is made king by a dying Arthur, Braeden hopes to help rebuild Camelot and carry on Arthur's vision for the kingdom. Together with the new queen, and her companion Janne, a new era begins.

Although the ways of Merlin and Morganna are banned from court, Janne holds to the goddess. She finds the mind overrules the heart as passion explodes each time she and Braeden are together. 

With the sons of Mordred, plotting the ultimate revenge…brother versus brother…there is no peace to be had in Camelot. When Janne is exposed as a Druidess, she and Braeden must find a way to expose the plot to take down Camelot while maintaining the ideals the majestic realm was built upon.

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Born long ago in a place not so far away, Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, Kathryn Quick has been writing since the Sisters in St. Casmir’s Grammar School gave her the ruled yellow paper and a number two pencil.  She writes contemporary and career romances, romantic comedies, historical romances

as well as urban fantasy.

She has been a member of New Jersey Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America since 1990 and considers it an honor to have been NJRW President in 1992 and 2001.  She is one of the founding members of Liberty States Fiction Writers, a multi-genre writers’ organizations dedicated to furthering the craft of writing and helping aspiring writers move onto publication.

Kathye originally wanted to be President of the United States or an Organic Chemist, but somehow life got in the way and she got married right out of high school and had a set of twins two years later.  The Presidency seemed out of reach and night school to get her Ph.D. to create new molecule that would ultimately result in the betterment of humankind seemed a little time consuming while trying to raise twins, so she decided to write instead.

In her "other" life, Kathye is married to her real-life hero Donald and has three grown sons all having adventures of their own and three “bonus” grandchildren.  She is a die-hard New Jersey Devils fan and works for Somerset County government (as close as she could get to the White House) and is plotting a novel about a new molecule that will ultimately result in the betterment of humankind.

Author Interview

1. What do we need to know about book 1, before we read book 2?

Both Cynthia and Constantine and Braeden and Janne are stand alone books, so you don’t really need to know much.  C&C tells how Constantine became king and introduces both Braeden and Janne as secondary, but important characters.  But I think I gave enough info in B&J so the reader can see what I’ve tried to accomplish and can enjoy the adventures of the new king and his brother and the women who love them.

All you need is to love the Camelot myth and be open to Camelot living on beyond Arthur. 

2. How much does this story stray from the stories of Arthur that we already know? For example, I never knew he had a brother.

I have invented a whole new place in Camelot.  The story doesn’t really touch on Arthur at all, but rather continues the idea of Arthur’s chivalry and his ideals for his kingdom and his people.  In that sense Arthur’s Camelot is gone, replaced by New Camelot.  But the new realm is not without some  old “friends”,  the sons of Mordred  are not happy that Camelot has not been destroyed with Arthur’s death and vow to continue what their father started. 

3. Will there be a book 3?

Yes, it is about one-third done.  It brings in a bastard son of Mordred who has never known anything but killing and war.  In Reynar, the Warlord’s Honor, Reynar is a hunted man after the death of his half-brothers,  He is attacked, left for dead, but is saved by Catherine, the love interest of Constantine and Braeden’s youngest brother.  Through the brutal beating he received, Reynar has lost his memory and therefore his identity as a ruthless warlord.  As he is nursed back to health, Catherine and Reynar fall in love.  But when he is recognized and regains his memory, they are ripped apart and must find their way back to each other. As a man condemned as a traitor by the laws of New Camelot , he must also find a way to prove he is a changed man .

4. Was it hard to write about something so popular versus a story with characters you make up on your own?

I really enjoyed the challenge.  I have loved the Camelot story since I first saw the Tales of Sir Lancelot on a black and white TV as a young girl.  I often thought about what might have been if Camelot didn’t die with Arthur, so I decided to try to write it.  I hope I have succeeded!  I would love to find out what your readers think.

5. What would you like my readers to know?

I hope your readers will find the world I have created beyond Arthur and Guinevere and Lancelot as exciting as I find it with these books.  Through Cynthia and Constantine and Braeden and Janne, and hopefully also with Reynar, Camelot lives on.
