Son of an impoverished, dying chieftain, Ari raided for booty and slaves so he could feed his people. He was a heathen, probably a murderer, and it was a sin to lie with him.
Fantasy poetry driven by myths and legends has been my passion for as long as I remember. I was published in poetry long before I caught the romance writing bug.
I always meant to write a book; I really did. But I was born in a horse-centered, fox-hunting part of Pennsylvania and put on a horse so young it’s a wonder I ever learned to walk. My early years were completely taken up with horses. When one of them knocked me unconscious for a rather long time, I began to have different thoughts.
Thus began an 18-year career in various aspects of psychiatric social services. And did I mention I married a man with five children? I wrote poetry because it didn’t take as long as writing 100,000 words. All of it was published and that helped silence the little voice going, “But I really want to write a book!” When I was widowed at age 41, I dealt with it by running away to Ireland, where the little voice kept getting louder.
The result was an outburst of writing. This comes after massive amounts of help from Romance Writers of America, Valley Forge Romance Writers, Celtic Hearts and Rome-antics.
Let’s hear it for all those great ladies!
Presently, I live on a small farm in Elverson, Pennsylvania with an assortment of rescue animals …mostly horses.
The flow of the novel was well executed and everything as far as pacing went felt smooth. I very much enjoyed the characters and their interactions with one another. There was a lot of backstory needed but it didn't bog down the novel as a whole. I loved the writing style, it was easy to follow and the pacing was spot on. Add to all of this the romance which was a great addition and it really was a well-rounded read.
I love this book. Wish there was way more story. I loved the characters and storyline so much. Soren and his band of followers were cowards. I’m so glad that Ari and Maeve got out and those that left made their lives richer for having left all that behind. On to my next story. 🥰💜💜💜💜💜
