Book Description:
Angus MacKay, leader of the
Dragon Knights, failed his brothers and his clan upon the death of his sister.
Now he must fight the darkness of despair tempting his soul. Back on Scottish
soil, he comes face to face with Deirdre who can wield a sword as mightily as
his warriors, and takes her captive. Yet, with each passing day, the fire
dragon inside him roars to claim the one woman fate has destined for him.
Famed mystery writer, Deirdre
Flanagan, is unprepared for the next chapter in her life. On a vacation to
Scotland, she steps through the mists and enters into a skirmish alongside a
Highlander. However, the fight has only begun, and now she must battle Angus as
well as evil in order to claim the love of this Dragon Knight.
Will their love be powerful
enough to shield them from danger, or burn them to ashes?

Interview

Tell us your latest news?
My fourth book, Dragon Knight’s Shield released
earlier this month. Angus MacKay, the oldest brother has returned home to
Scotland.
When and why did you begin writing?
I started writing at a young age—poems and plays. I
was a constant daydreamer and loved creating stories.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I loved to write, but it wasn’t until I finished my
first book, Dragon Knight’s Sword that I considered myself a writer.
What inspired you to write your first book?
On my first trip to Scotland in 2000. I was sitting
all alone on a boulder in the Highlands, surrounded by the magic and mists of
the land. The Dragon Knights were born within my mind.
Do you have a specific writing style?
Definitely! I always start with a fresh journal. I
fill the pages with characters, places, maps, historical data, and pictures.
When I can go no further, I start writing the story on the computer.
How did you come up with the title?
I’ve always loved the saying, “Knights in shining
armor.” The Dragon Knights are the guardians of the last remaining dragon, who
dwells in Loch Ness. Each of the men possesses a “relic” given to them by the
Fae. Angus MacKay’s relic is a shield.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
Redemption is possible, if you seek the path with a
true heart.
How much of the book is realistic?
There are small parts. Angus MacKay is on a
tournament in France when he encounters the Fianna. They were an ancient band
of warriors who were part of the Red Branch of Ireland.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?
I was the oldest in my family. Therefore, I felt the
need to be responsible—set the example for my younger siblings. So, it was easy
to write Angus’s angst with some of his failures.
What books have most influenced your life most?
“Hawaii” by James Michener. “The Lion of Ireland” by
Morgan Llywelyn. “The Mists of Avalon” by Marion Zimmer Bradley. “The Hobbit”
by J.R.R. Tolkien
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
So difficult, but if I must choose…Marion Zimmer
Bradley
What book are you reading now?
Currently, I’m ready two: “Agincourt” by Bernard
Cornwell, and “I’ll Know It When I See It” by Alice Carey
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest?
Yes! MT Magee. Her debut fantasy romance, “The
Treasure of Gwenlais” is wonderful.
What are your current projects?
I’m finishing the fifth and final Dragon Knight’s
story, which I’m hoping to have out late summer, and a Christmas novella, too.
What would you like my readers to know?
If you have a dream, follow it with all of your
heart. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Also, I love hearing from my readers and sharing
their thoughts about my stories.
