BLURB:
Patrick
MacFhearguis, hardened by battles won and lost, desires what he can never
have—peace within his heart and soul.
Yet, the ever-meddling Fae weave a new journey for him to conquer—a task
this highlander is determined to resist.
When skilled weaver,
Gwen Hywel, is commissioned to create a tapestry for the MacFhearguis clan, she
embraces the assignment. While seeking out ideas, she finds herself clutching
the one thread that can alter the tapestry of her life and heart.
A man conflicted by
past deeds. A woman with no family of her own. Is it possible for love to
unravel an ancient past, in order to claim two badly scarred hearts? Or will
the light of hope be doused forever?

EXCERPT:
Straightening, Patrick started forward. “I can help ye pick
more mushrooms. Are they for the Midwinter feast?”
“Yes. Apparently, they’re for an onion and cabbage dish.
Sounds delicious. I’m amazed at how all the women have managed here in this
time-period.”
“I had heard it was a struggle in the beginning for them.”
He glimpsed sideways at her. “How do ye find being here? I cannot fathom what
ye must miss.”
She shrugged. “There’s simplicity here. I’d almost call it
serenity. I’ve learned a lot this past month. Whereas, in my town you can go
crazy trying to keep up with everything.” Gwen waved a hand outward. “And don’t
get me started on city life. Traffic congestion, speedy drivers, people always
on their cell—” She giggled. “Sorry. Too confusing for you.”
Patrick smiled, trying to perceive everything the lass was
saying. Each time she spoke, her face would light up. There was a musical lilt
to her voice that soothed him. He found her enchanting, regardless of the words
spewing forth from her.
Noting a group of mushrooms, he moved away from Gwen.
“Since you have lost, what about my end of the bargain? I
believe I can claim something of value.”
Patrick froze in his steps. Glancing over his shoulder, he
stared at her in disbelief. “Ye wish to claim a reward?” Hope soared within his
heart as if the sun’s rays stoked the emotion.
Her tongue darted along her lower lip. “Absolutely.”
He turned slowly around. “Name your reward.” Tension coiled
within his muscles.
She approached him in an unhurried fashion. “You might have
requested one kiss as your reward, but I’ll take four—the same number of times
you skipped the stone over the water.”
His heart hammered against his chest. His mind refused to
understand the magnitude of her words. “Four?” he uttered in a hoarse voice.
“Four,” she affirmed, stepping closer. “Do not keep me
waiting.”
In one swift move, Patrick crushed her to his chest. Her
soft curves were warm against his body. “Start counting, leannán.”

The Questions –
Mary Morgan
1) You’re marooned on a small island with one person and one item of your choice—who is that person and what item do you have? A Fenian Fae Warrior and a magical crystal. He’d be able to transport us anywhere. Enough said.
2) Which musical would you say best exemplifies your life – and which character in that musical are you? The Sound of Music and I’d be Maria. I’m spiritual and had to overcome a few obstacles in my life. I’m not a singer, but I can play the piano and flute.
3) Take these three words and give me a 100 word or less scene using them: hammer, saucer, traffic lights
In a
mystical world ruled by the ancients, a rogue warrior was determined to flee
from the tyranny of his king. In a moment of clarity, he smashed through the
gates of the outer realms with his mighty hammer. The destruction was severe.
When the dust and debris had cleared, the skies opened to reveal glittering
traffic lights directing the survivors to a safe haven. Once there, each was
given a golden saucer where they consumed fresh water flowing from a waterfall.
And so
begins the saga of the rogue warrior who became the new king.
4) What is your idea of how to spend romantic time with your significant other? A quiet picnic and a good bottle of cabernet at the ocean, or in front of a fireplace, or out in our garden under the stars. And yes, we’ve done all three.
5) When you start a new story, do you begin with a
character, or a plot? It always begins with a character. They step into my mind
waiting for me to acknowledge them. First I choose a name. It has to feel right for them. From there, I’m
fleshing out their characteristics and begin to plot out the story. Often
times, I’m 60% plotter and 40% pantser. Yet there are times when the reverse
happens.
