A Highlander of Her Own has a cover!!

ISBN-13: 978-14165-7259-6

Back Cover Copy:

TEXAS, PRESENT DAY. Ellie Denton’s world has spiraled out of control. A strange new birthmark, animals talking to her, and her mother’s ex-husband laying claim to the family ranch have her thinking life can’t get more complicated. But Ellie doesn’t know the birthmark’s connection to her Faerie ancestors. Complicated takes on a whole new meaning with her innocent wish to find her true love.

SCOTLAND, 1304. Caden MacAlister has more trouble than he can handle. With his brother held for ransom and the laird missing, the last thing he needs is another problem. But the Fae have other plans.

A mysterious woman shows up in his stables, sent by Faerie Magic to find her true love. Fighting his attraction, Caden insists she’s meant for one of his brothers. With his history, he has no desire for a woman in his life—especially a woman sent by the Fae.

Only the magic of the Fae can determine whether Ellie will find a Highlander of her own...

OTHER NEWS

One of the most exciting things that happened while I was in San Francisco??? Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband won the Book Buyer's Best Award for Best Paranormal/Time Travel/ Fantasy for 2008!!!

My sincere thanks to everyone at the Orange County Chapter of RWA and to all the book sellers, book buyers and readers who chose to recognize my book! I'm honored and absolutely thrilled!

I also got to have lunch with my agent and editor, two smarter, more beautiful women you won't find anywhere.
Have I mentioned recently how lucky I am to work with them both???

For now, though, it's time to get back to writing. Jesse's calling from the computer keys. He's anxious to have his story told NOW!!!!

Until next time -
