My Chat with Tarah Scott

Please welcome Tarah Scott.

Grab a coffee and read on.

Do you have a nickname?
ROFL Thankfully, no! I have two author names (and a real life name). Anymore names, and I might truly become schizophrenic.
You are too funny Tarah!

What is one word best describes you?
Determined.

What makes you laugh out loud?
Life! Laughing is one of life’s greatest pleasures. I’m a clown at heart. Luckily, life is filled with many laughable moments, so I tend to get my laugh fix almost daily.

What is your favourite smell? What does it remind you of?
That’s tough. I have several scents I love. Freshly baked bread, pure, real vanilla, lilacs, to name a few. I have no special memories associated with the scents. They simply make me feel good.

Favourite place to spend time in.
Cozied up in bed watching a good movie.

Is there a genre that you refuse to read?
Heh heh. No! I read everything.

Writing! What started it?
A friend once told me that I didn’t choose writing. Writing chose me. When the stories finally started keeping me awake at night, I gave in and wrote that first scene. It was rough, very rough, but that, as they say, was all she wrote. Heh heh. I know, bad pun.

If you could choose another career what would it be?
Secret agent. Since I am incapable of choosing another career, I would be forced to take a career I write about.

Audiobooks! Any plans to have any of your books in audio format?
Yes. I have a producer working on that now. I’ll keep everyone updated.
That is awesome news!

Does your work convey a specific emotion or message?
The messages vary. I do believe in real love and I believe there are lots of men who aren’t afraid of love. Those types of men tend to show up as my heroes. A specific emotion? I hope my work conveys many different emotions.

Who is your intended audience and why should they read your books?
My intended audience is anyone who likes action packed love stories. From spies to courtesans, I write about men and women who aren’t afraid to live life.

What is next in your writing?
I’m currently working on The Highlander’s Courtesan, the second book in the MacLean Highlander novels. I’m also working on a paranormal Scottish medieval, Death Comes for a Knight. Look for that book this summer.
I am looking forward to reading them.

Thank  you so much Tarah for joining me in my chat room. I love your sense of humour.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you all for coming by today. For those of you who have not read any of Tarah Scott’s books, I totally recommend them. I am sure you will find something you might enjoy in the various genres she writes.

To start you on your reading journey, Ms. Scott is giving away an ebook of “Highland Winds”, Volume 1 in The Scrolls of Cridhe which includes her novella, “Lord Grayson’s Bride”, along with 6 other books from fabulous authors.

She can’t allow his love for her to destroy him…

When Nicholas Spencer, Earl of Grayson, returns to claim the woman he loves, Lady Josephine Knightly isn’t willing to forgive him for abandoning her six years ago. But neither can she resist the man he’s become.

Two days after Josephine signs the marriage contract she discovers a nasty secret that will destroy her family. The only way to protect them—to protect the only man she’s ever loved—is to disappear…or die.

Nicholas won’t make the same mistake twice and let Josephine Knightly go. She loves him. He felt it in their one kiss before he left, and in the single kiss she allowed since his return. But she’s doing everything in her power to sabotage the marriage even before it’s begun. Nicholas doesn’t care. If Hell is where he must live to have her, then she must stand by his side in the fire.

Isn’t that an awesome treat? Nicholas is one of my book boyfriends and he came for a chat last November *sigh*

One lucky commenter, chosen by Sexy Mr. Random, will be announced after 3pm, EST, Monday, March 2, 2015. GOOD LUCK!

Until next time read a book, listen to a book and don’t forget to show your love by leaving a review!

Thank you for joining me and handsome Conall today.

He hails from “A Jewel in the Vaults” by sweet Lily Baldwin.

She has never met a man like him before. Then again, he has never met a lad like her.

In 1802, Edinburgh’s poverty-ridden Old Town is rife with danger, but it is the only home Robbie MacKenzie has ever known. To safeguard herself against the worst villains of the street, Robbie conceals her femininity behind her shorn hair, dirt-smeared face, and tattered breeches. To all the world she is a lad, but beneath the ruse is a woman aching to break free.

Leaving his beloved Highlands behind in pursuit of his prodigal brother, Conall MacKay journeys to Edinburgh. There, he solicits the aid of a young street lad named Robbie. But Conall soon realizes that there is more to both Robbie and Edinburgh’s Old Town than meets the eye.

It is one of the stories in “HIGHLAND WINDS”, Volume 1 in The Scrolls of Cridhe. This wonderful anthology will be released on November 17, 2014.

The Scrolls of Cridhe Hunks 5 – My Chat with Robert

Hello and welcome!

Today I have another visiting hero from “Highland Winds” anthology.

I am prepared you see… I have my drool rag handy, glass of ice tea ready and a bucket of ice beside my chair, because as you know The Guardians of Cridhe like to spring heart-palpitating eye candy on me 😉

He walks in and… popping an ice cube in my mouth, I motion him to the arm chair opposite me… SIGH… Thank you Kathryn Lynn ❤

website

What is your full name?
Robert Preston Hamilton.

Do you have a nickname?
Weel, it depends on what ye mean by a nickname.

What is one word that best describes you?
Complicated. Or conflicted. Or passionate. Or curious. Scratch that last. Makes me sound like a heartless oaf—which I’m no’.
I have to tell you, I didn’t know what to think of you when I started to read your story, but the more I read, more layers were unfolding. One thing for sure, you are not heartless.

Describe what you are wearing now to our readers.
My best rust-colored breeches, shirt, embroidered silk waistcoat and wool frockcoat. It gets chilly up here in the Highlands in spring.
I lean in to check out the beautiful embroidery. Very intricate and masterfully done.

Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?
She’s a weel-meaning lass who did her best to lay out my perplexin’ complex personality and fine good looks so the readers could understand me, ye ken. Twas a difficult job.
You sure did give her a hard time 😀

What makes you laugh out loud?
When British soldiers talk casually about how savage, brutal and uneducated the Highlanders are. They should be watching their own backsides instead.

What is your favourite dessert?
He blinks several times. Pears poached in brandy.

website

Never tried that, let’s have some now.

What is your favourite drink?
Whisky

What is your greatest fear?
Failin’ my country and my Caelia.

What do YE wear? When ye tell me, I’ll tell ye.

What is the perfect romantic date?
A ride to a distant waterfall, where we unload a basket burstin’ with bridies, poached pears, ham, chicken, carrots and peas. Caelia and I wander along the river barefoot, and she’s no’ worried, because she knows I’ll not let her fall in the water. We wade in to our knees, laughin’ at the sound of the rushing water, and afterward, recline on a blanket, my head in her lap.

How ticklish are you?
I’m no ticklish at all. I’m a man’s man, and they’re never such a silly thing as ticklish.
Where are you ticklish?
I’m keepin’ that bit of information to myself.

What’s your favourite smell?
Newly woven wool before it’s set with dye. What does it remind you of? My mam and da takin’ it off the loom together before he died in Bonnie Prince Charlie’s war.

When you look at a woman what catches your interest?
Her expression. Is it serene and inviting? Harsh and cold? Seductive and alluring? Or blank, hidin’ her true feelin’s? And her skin. Is it white and untouched by the sun, or fresh with dew and tinted slightly tan?

Do you have somebody in your life now?
I want to have my Caelia in my life—her and no other—but she’s no’ verra willin’ to talk to me just now.

What is one word that best describes her?
Talented. Or innocent. Or strong. Och, no, I’ve got it: magic!

Is your book part of a series? What does the future hold for the readers of the series?
Aye, tis a novella in SCROLLS OF CRIDHE, Volume 1, Highland Winds, set in 1765. Other volumes will follow, along with stand-alone books that tell the stories of related characters in Glen Affric, until the books and novellas meet with the timeline in TOO DEEP FOR TEARS, which begins in the 1850s.

Thank you Robert for accepting my invitation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you enjoyed this chat too. I sure did, but I do feel those pear now 😉

Robert hails from “A Tear For Memory” by Kathryn Lynn Davis. Ms. Davis’ website is under construction and will be up and running soon: kathrynlynndavis.com, so the link on her name is for the blog.

How can a seer paint ‘Truth’ when she’s lived a life of lies? Will she allow a man who has twice deceived her to open her heart to the truth?

In the Highlands of Glen Affric, years after The Forty-Five—the Jacobite rising led by Bonnie Prince Charlie—Celia Rose lives happily in Faeries’ Haven, where the lies that protect her from the past keep the magic and the faeries away. She finds her only magic when she paints, and “sees” things she cannot possibly know: she has been blessed with the Sight.

When a stranger comes on a mysterious errand, he threatens those who want to keep her safe at home. Little by little, he shows her new colors, new worlds and, most compelling—new passions. But he also brings danger, for he, too, lives a lie and is not what he seems. Still, danger comes in many forms, and the truth he offers leaves Celia with a difficult choice: to believe in those who loved and raised her; or trust this man, and learn the dark secret that could both destroy her innocence and forge in her a woman’s heart.

It is one of the stories in “HIGHLAND WINDS”, Volume 1 in The Scrolls of Cridhe. This wonderful anthology will be released on November 17, 2014.

The Scrolls of Cridhe Hunks 4 – My Chat with Malcolm

Hello and welcome!

Today I have Malcolm visiting…. and…

website

*blink-blink* … ah… yes, Malcolm… ahem… yes… please have a seat…

Where are my papers? I can’t remember any of the questions… oh yes, there they are. Phew!

Welcome Malcolm!

What is your full name?
Malcolm MacDonald, Lord of the Isles

Do you have a nickname?
I do not know what that is.
A nickname is a familiar or humorous name given to a person or thing instead of the real name.
My wife calls me her love. Everyone else calls me Laird MacDonald.

What is one word best describes you?
Loyal. I will do anything and everything to protect those I love. Some people think I am headstrong, however I prefer to think of myself as dedicated.

Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?
Yes, although she needed to be reined in on several occasions. That lady has quite the imagination.
But that is what we like authors to have, imagination!

What is your favourite drink?
I enjoy ale or mead.

What is your greatest fear?
That the fragile peace I have forged between the clans will fall apart. Some men appear happiest when they are in some sort of conflict. It takes constant effort to maintain peace.
I know what you mean, I’ve met people like that, they are not very nice.

What is the perfect romantic date?
My wife enjoys a casual stroll through the blooming heather, followed by a light lunch beside the loch. We do just that as often as our duties allow.

How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?
I do not really want to answer that question. If Sheona were here, she would no doubt answer it for me, though.

website

What’s your favourite smell? What does it remind you of?
I enjoy the smell of lavender, it reminds me of Sheona.

When you look at a woman what catches your interest?
The sparkle in her eye, or a pretty smile. I like a woman who can think for herself. That is very appealing to me.

Do you have somebody in your life now?
Yes, my wife, the lovely Sheona MacDonald.

What is one word best describes her?
Driven. When she puts her mind to something she will stop at nothing until she achieves it. And that is part of her charm.

Thank you Malcolm for accepting my invitation and answering my questions. Greeting to Sheona!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you enjoyed the chat.

Malcolm hails from “Spirit Stones” by Kate Robbins. A new author for me and I looking forward to discovering her other books.

Sheona MacLeod has a gift.

Connected to the spirit world, Sheona engages with souls long departed. Caught in the middle of the most vicious battle she has ever witnessed, she is captured by her bitter enemy. Armed with only her gift, can she escape his clutches and return to the safety of her clan?

Malcolm MacDonald seeks change.

Exhausted from the centuries old feud between his clan, the MacDonalds, and the MacLeods, Malcolm sees no future for any of them. His enemy’s intoxicating daughter stirs a need for peace within him that drives him to risk everything—except her.

Together, they can change destiny—if they dare.

At the climax of one of the bloodiest feuds in clan history, Malcolm and Sheona forge a powerful bond strong enough to break the shackles of prejudice and hatred.

It is one of the stories in “HIGHLAND WINDS”, Volume 1 in The Scrolls of Cridhe. This wonderful anthology will be released on November 17, 2014.

website

When you look at a woman what catches your interest?

Aye. Moirra.

What is one word best describes her?
Intriguing

Oh I am so looking forward to more.

Thank you for accepting my invitation for this chat. My greeting to Moirra and her daughters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really enjoyed this chat, very nice view, I hope you did too 😀

I can’t tell you his real name, I am sworn to secrecy. You will have to read the book to find out 😉

He hails from “Stealing Moirra’s Heart” by Suzan Tisdale, whom I adore to Scotland and back 😉 I read all her other books and listened to the audiobooks narrated by Brad Wills.

Moirra Dundottar needs a man. Much as she hates to admit it, it’s true. With a reputation for losing husbands, her prospects are slim, her outlook bleak. Until the morning she sees a strange man on the town square–a man who’s accused of being a thief and is locked in the pillory.

“Something tells me ye be no thief.”

The strange man gives her a quick glance up and down, flashes a brilliant white smile and laughs. “I am many things, lass. All around bastard, ne’er-do-well, and rakehell. But I be no thief.”

She didn’t believe he was a thief when she rescued him … until he stole her heart.

It is one of the stories in “HIGHLAND WINDS”, Volume 1 in The Scrolls of Cridhe. This wonderful anthology will be released on November 17, 2014.

The Scrolls of Cridhe

Hello and welcome!

I would like to introduce to you the Guardians of Cridhe and their Scrolls.

The Legend…

Long, long ago, in the time before time, seven sisters were called from the far reaches of the realm. Each brought unique talents, but had one common gift; the ability to weave ageless tales of love and courage. An evil witch coveted their gifts and locked them in a tower, silencing their voices upon threat of death. But the Highlands are enchanted, and magic will not countenance seven pure hearts such as theirs to be lost.

With no one else to hear them, they sang their stories to each other. Fate blew a braw Highland wind to their prison, and the sweet, high timbre of the sisters’ voices enthralled it. The wind gathered close their silver words as it raced past each day, and carried their love and goodness throughout the world…then across the ages.

Today, their words live on in the Guardians of the Cridhe, seven sisters who have sworn to preserve those pure and musical hearts so long as they live. It is said these seven descend from those ancient female bards. Only their words can bear witness to that truth…

Check out their website, Facebook page and Twitter to keep up to date.

On November 17th, 2014 you will be able to read the first scrolls in the first volume, HIGHLAND WINDS. The anthology with seven beautiful stories that will bring forth all kinds of emotions, laughter, sadness, excitement, anger, suspense and… love.

Highland Revenge by Ceci Giltenan
Does he hate her clan enough to visit his vengeance upon her? Or will he listen to her secret and his own heart’s yearning?

The Taming of Mairi MacKenzie by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
A forbidden love so powerful it could destroy them both.

Stealing Moirra’s Heart by Suzan Tisdale
She didn’t believe he was a thief when she rescued him… until he stole her heart.

Spirit Stones by Kate Robbins
Sheona MacLeod has a gift. Malcom MacDonald seeks change. Together, they can change destiny…if they dare.

A Tear For Memory by Kathryn Lynn-Davis
How can a seer paint ‘Truth’ when she’s lived a life of lies?
Will she allow a man who has twice deceived her to open her heart to the truth?

A Jewel in the Vaults by Lily Baldwin
She has never met a man like him before. Then again, he has never met a lad like her.

Lord Grayson’s Bride by Tarah Scott
She can’t allow his love for her to destroy him…
