Book Description:
Death destroyed their love. Yet,
can a trio of Fenian warriors roll back time to reunite two lost souls?
Crusader, Adam MacFhearguis is on
one last quest to the standing stones in Scotland where he seeks to bury the
past. However, a silent prayer sends him to an unknown future and to his
beloved Meggie. When he uncovers a shocking revelation, Adam questions
everything about the woman he thought he knew and loved. He may have traveled
the veil of ages, but time is now his enemy.
Margaret MacKay lives a life in
the future without the memories of her past—her death. When Adam arrives at her
door confessing he knows her, she is confused and wary. With each passing day,
she yearns to learn more from this stranger. Yet, when a truth is revealed, can
she trust the man to unlock the chains from her mind and heart?
Will love free the bonds to unite
the two lovers who were doomed centuries ago? Or will evil finally claim
victory over the Dragon Knights?
First
Excerpt:
Meggie brushed
her fingers over the leather pouch. “It feels empty.”
“Are you not
tempted to take a wee look inside?”
She snatched her
hand back. “I’m not peering inside the man’s belongings. As soon as he wakes,
he and his horse can leave.” Giving the horse a firm pat, Meggie walked out of
the stall and away from her smirking cousin—only to run smack into her other
cousin, Lena.
“Blast,” snapped
Meggie, grabbing her cousin by the arm to help steady them both. “Sorry, didn’t
see ye,” Seeing the excitement in Lena’s eyes, she stepped back. “What?”
“I hear you have
a Highlander in the guest room,” she replied, giving Meggie a wink. “Are you
going to share?”
Meggie placed
her hands on her hips. “He’s not my Highlander. Feel free to have him, though
as soon as he wakes he’s gone from here.”
Lucas strode out
of the stables, wiping his hand on a cloth. “I think I’ll go introduce myself,
since I think this man bothers you. You keep stating he must leave as soon as
he wakes.”
Lena pushed her
cousin aside. “No, Lucas. I will go check on him.”
“Ye are both
crazy,” protested Meggie. “He’s just a man.” Stepping past them both, she
marched away from the stables.

Tell us your latest news?
The epic conclusion to the Order of the Dragon
Knights ~ Dragon Knight’s Ring was released earlier this month.
When and why did you begin writing?
I started writing at a very young age. It started
with poems in my diaries, and then I ventured out to stories and plays. I was a
constant daydreamer and loved creating fantasies realms.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I’ve always believed I was a writer, but it wasn’t
until I finished my first book, Dragon Knight’s Sword that I truly considered
myself a writer.
What inspired you to write your first book?
When I took my first trip to Scotland—summer of
2000. I was sitting on a boulder in the Highlands of Scotland surrounded by the
magic and mists of the land. All I could hear was the sheep in the distance.
The Dragon Knights were born that evening within my mind.
Do you have a specific writing style?
Absolutely! I always start a story with a brand new
leather journal. I fill the pages with character details, story arc, outlines,
maps, historical data, quotes, and pictures. When I can go no further, I know
it’s time to begin the story on the computer. In addition, I can always see the
beginning and ending, but it’s the middle (I call it the guts) of the story
that I sometimes don’t have a clue where I’m heading.
How did you come up with the title?
Dragon Knight’s Ring is part of the series. The
Dragon Knights are the guardians of the last remaining dragon who dwells in the
waters of Loch Ness. The “Ring” is the relic, which belongs to the hero, Adam
MacFhearguis.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
Definitely! I believe in redemption, but only if you
seek the path with a true heart.
How much of the book is realistic?
I wove a bit of history into the hero, Adam
MacFhearguis. He fought with the Templars during the Crusades. As for time
travel….I’m one who believes anything is possible.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?
Not with this story. However, I’ve visited Scotland
several times, so I tend to write what I’ve experienced and/or seen. The
country resonated deeply within me and left me aching to return.
What books have most influenced your life most? So
many, but here are a few:
“The Lion of Ireland” by Morgan Llywelyn. “The Mists
of Avalon” by Marion Zimmer Bradley. “Hawaii” by James Michener. “The Hobbit”
by J.R.R. Tolkien.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
Marion Zimmer Bradley.
What book are you reading now?
I tend to read two at the same time. Usually a
fiction and non-fiction. Currently, I’m reading, “Picnic in Provence” by Elizabeth
Bard, and “Dark Carousel” by Christine Feehan.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest?
Not at the moment. Yet, I’m always on the look-out.
What are your current projects?
I’ve just finished a Christmas novella for this year
called, “A Magical Highland Solstice.” I had so much fun writing this story,
since I love the holiday season. I even included a recipe at the end.
Currently, I’m working on new series called, Legend of the Fenian Warriors.
It’s a spin-off from the Order of the Dragon Knights. The first book is called,
“Quest of a Warrior.” There will be four books in this series.
What would you like my readers to know?
Believe in your dreams no matter what others may say.
Follow the path with all of your heart!
