Wild Glory

by Andrea Parnell

Amid the sober grays of her Puritan New England village, Glory Warren shines with a dazzling beauty that enchants the men who see her...and starts whispers that she consorts with the power of darkness.


The most lustful glances come from the Reverend Josiah Bellingham, whose smiling face hides a devious heart. He proposes to take Glory as his wife...but she burns only for the kisses of handsome and rugged Quade Wylde, an outlaw trapper and woodsman.


Can the spell of their love overcome the web of lies and accusations by jealous and spiteful enemies? Or will the charge of witchcraft send Glory Warren to the gallows to pay the ultimate price for her passions?

About the author

I was always tying stories to places and objects so it was no surprise that should happen at a retreat on a coastal Georgia island where the ancient oaks dripped moss like secrets, the sun on the marshes captured all thought and the remnants of the early settlers tended to come alive in my mind. My book, Dark Splendor, formed in the mysterious atmosphere of summer days in such a place.

Dark Splendor was first published as the launch title for a line of Sexy Gothics, adding a much more sensual element to the classic Gothic novel. The book earned the Romantic Times Award for Best New Gothic Author and was my first of ten novels published. I have also published short fiction, articles. My works include Gothic, Western, and other historical and contemporary romances. I have received the Maggie, Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Awards and other awards for my novels.

I taught creative writing classes for many years through a local community college, am a member of Novelists, Inc. (NINC) and past president of the Georgia Authors Network. I am fond of cats, travel, overgrown gardens, and old houses with lots of crooks, crannies, and interesting shadows and just generally puttering around and ruminating.
