Book Description:
Isobel MacInnes wakes up in present-day California, lunches in medieval Scotland,
and by ten days’ end, falls in love with a man and his country, only to lose them in
a heart-wrenching twist of fate . . .
Found in the arms of her second soul mate . . .
Forced to balance the delicate strands of time between two millennia . . .
Shocked by revelations rewriting the very foundations of history . . . of everything.
Isobel, a rising-star archaeology student, is dropped into two ancient worlds
without warning . . . or her permission. Her fiery spirit resists the dependency
thrust upon her. Amid frustration at her lack of control, she helplessly falls in
love. Twice.
She struggles to adjust to the unimaginable demands of two leaders of men—
a laird in the thirteenth-century Highlands and a Pict chieftain in a more
ancient Scotland. Isobel transforms from an academic, hell-bent on obtaining
archaeological recognition, to a woman striving to care for those she loves, and
ultimately . . . into a fearless warrior risking everything to protect them.

Guest Post
The Paranormal World of Forged in Dreams and Magick
The story line of Forged in Dreams and Magick evolved from my secret desire to
travel back in time to both the medieval Highlands and the land of ancient Picts,
but the mysteries behind the world were revealed to me during the drafting
and editing process. A thrilling aspect of writing as a “pantster” is experiencing
the journey through the eyes of the reader, wind blowing across my face, heart
racing. The rollercoaster car ratchets up to the peak before the adventure twists
and turns, taking on a life of its own.
Of course, since an enigmatic box induced Isobel’s time travel, I wondered right
alongside our heroine about the artifact’s mythology. My wanderlust heart
needed to unearth the origin and reason behind a relic with such power. As I
wrote, the very walls of Brodie Castle came to life, spilling forth her secrets . . .
to a degree. {laughs} I suppose in my world, walls can talk, in a manner of
Skorpius’s scene, which appears about 70% into the story, and only materialized
during the first edit of the draft, became an elemental part of the Forged in
Dreams and Magick world. During subsequent editing, I enriched all the chapters
to incorporate the added complexity of angels in an alternate heaven-like
dimension, deepening the meaning and struggles of Isobel’s journey.
Recently, I was asked by a reviewer if the presence of angels will lead the
Highland Legends series toward a religious or Christian slant. The answer is no.
The story is purely a paranormal, Highlander, action-adventure romance with
emotionally charged erotic sex scenes. The closest any of the novels in the series
will come to touching on religion or Christianity is when the characters question why, like we all do.
That's a great guest post, thanks for sharing. i would love an amazon copy. Thanks.
