"Chasing a Highland Moon" is my 3rd book in The Highland Moon Series. The hero, Cinead, or "Cin" was a secondary character in my second book, "Once Upon a Highland Moon." Here is an excerpt from "Chasing a Highland Moon."<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Come,"
he said, his voice a soft timbre that sent a shiver over her skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Claire
opened the door. Saints above! He was taking a bath. She squeezed her eyes shut
tight and quickly turned her back to him."I-I-I've yer whisky, m'laird,"
she said in a voice unsteady even to her own ears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Then
bring it here, lass."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Claire
slowly turned around and walked toward the tub, keeping her eyes fastened on
his face. His eye and the bruise on his cheek were almost completely healed,
and she could now see what an attractive man he truly was. When she handed him
the bottle, his devilish grin sent her insides into a spin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He
raised a brow. "Could you fetch me a cup from the table? Or should I get
it myself?" He shifted, as if he were about to rise out of the tub.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Nay,"
she squeaked, quickly grabbing the cup and handing it to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He
grinned and settled back against the tub. "Much thanks." He poured
himself a dram of whisky and tossed it back, then poured another. He held up
the cup. "Would you like a wee dram, lass?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Claire
shook her head, even though she more than likely needed one at the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He
shrugged. "Suit yourself. But if you should change your mind, let me
ken."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
was mesmerized by the play of muscle in his arms and across his chest. The same
muscles that had been hard and smooth beneath her hands. Her whole body suddenly
felt flushed, as if by a fever. She had to get out of the bedchamber—and away
from him and the wanton way he made her feel. "If ye're in need of naught
else, I'll be taking my leave now." She turned to go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"I'm
afraid I am in need of your help, lass."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
turned back around. "In what way, m'laird?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"My
hair and my back."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Saints
above! What was he talking about? "M'laird?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"My
ribs have not entirely healed and I am unable to reach my back. Would you mind?"
He smiled, holding the soap out to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
reluctantly took the sandalwood scented cake and moved to stand behind him. She
had never washed anyone's hair in her life, and until recently, Alice had
washed Claire's since she was a child.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Claire
hesitated. "I'm afraid I might hurt yer head."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Dinnae
fash yourself, lass. You'll no' hurt me."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Claire
took a deep breath. "Very well." She lifted the bucket of water left
beside the tub, and slowly poured half of it over Cin's head, then set it back
down. After achieving a good lather, she worked it through his long hair, ever
mindful of his injury while she did. Once it was clean, she rinsed the suds
away with the rest of the water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Finished,
m'laird," she said, admiring the wet tendrils hanging well past his
shoulders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Much
thanks, Jenny. Now my back, if you dinnae mind." He leaned forward and
waited.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
slowly ran the soap over his skin, making certain she did not miss a spot. Long
after she was finished, she let her hands travel over his shoulders, down his
back and over his ribs, for she ever so much enjoyed touching him. Sensations
she had never experienced centered in the pit of her stomach and moved outward
over her entire body. Cin groaned and she yanked her hand away, fearing she might
have hurt him. "'Tis done," she said, trying to keep her trembling
voice steady, but feared she was not doing a very good job. She dried her hands
and picked up the empty tray.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Cin
leaned back and looked at her, his gaze much darker than before. "Dinnae
fash yourself, lass. I'm no' in the habit of seducing my servants, however
beautiful they may be. His blue eyes twinkled as his mouth curved into a wicked
grin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Claire
couldn't breathe. She dropped her gaze, tightening her grip on the tray until
her knuckles turned white. "If there be naught else, m'laird, I'll take m'
leave."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Cin
was silent for a moment, then spoke. "That will be all."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Aye,
m'laird." She curtsied and could not get out of his bedchamber quickly
enough. She hurried down the corridor and as far away from Cin MacLeod's sinful
gaze as she could possibly get.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Stopping
short of entering the kitchen, she leaned against the stone wall and blew out a
breath to steady her nerves, as well as her trembling hands. Saints above! The
man was far too attractive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My friend and Scottish Highland Romance author,
<a href="http://www.fierceromance.blogspot.com/2014/04/why-i-write-what-i-do.html">Vonda Sinclair</a>, asked me to participate in this blog tour about my writing

am I working on? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I am currently working on "Chasing
a Highland Moon," the third book in my Highland Moon series, which I hope
to finish by the end of summer or before. The hero is Cinead (Cin) MacLeod, a
secondary character in the second book in the series, "Once upon a
Highland Moon." He is a close friend to the heros of my first two books,
Kade and Galen, as well as Duncan, who will be the hero in my fourth book. Cin
is Laird of Stagshead Castle on the Isle of Skye and chief of the MacLeod clan.
His Viking descent is obvious in his pale blue eyes and long flaxen hair, as
well as his tall height and muscular build. He also has quite an eye for the
lasses, which becomes quite a problem when the one who catches his eye happens to be
a young lady posing as a servant at his castle. You see, Cin has a strict policy of hands off when it comes to his <i>own</i> servants. I hope readers will enjoy finding out what happens
when Cin learns the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

does my work differ from others in its genre? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
hard question. The best way I can think to answer this is to say that my heros are intelligent,
strong, brave, loyal and handsome Highland warriors and gentlemen, who will let
nothing stop them from protecting and having the woman they love, even if it
could cost them their own lives. My heroines are strong, dependable, independent,
intelligent, and brave young women who go against the odds to get what they want,
whether it be their freedom, or the man they love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

do I write what I do? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is an easy one. I love
Scotland, its people, history, castles and breathtaking landscapes, and let us
not forget, men in kilts! Of course, all my heros wear belted plaids with lots
of weapons attached. I've been to Scotland and use the sights,
sounds and smells from those trips to add to the flavor of my stories. And of course, I am a romantic at heart and enjoy writing about people falling in love. I especially love writing about the Highlanders and the Highlands, which is my favorite part of
Scotland. I think Robert Burns summed it all up in his poem:</span></div>

does your writing process work? </span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Basically, after brainstorming, a scene pops
into my head and I put it in my story where I think it might fit.
Often times, a scene will be moved around several times before I'm satisfied
that it is in the right place. After writing the scenes from beginning to end in
a very rough draft, I go back to the beginning and flesh out the story, adding
to the relationship of the hero and heroine, bringing them closer and closer
throughout the story until they realize they belong together, throwing in a few obstacles here and there. After that, I go over it a couple more times, have it critiqued, then beta read before I'm
finished. I do a lot of research while writing, for I want to make certain that
what I'm putting in my story is accurate, whether it be the time of year a
certain berry ripens, or when the gorse is in bloom.</span><br />

<br />
Scottish Highlands 1602::<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lightning streaked across the night sky and thunder rumbled
through the mountains and glens, vibrating the floor beneath Kade's feet. He
sat at the table in his bedchamber, with a half-empty bottle of whisky before
him. He couldn't sleep. He needed to think. As was his way, whenever something
was on his mind, he didn't rest until it'd been taken care of. In the past, his
sleeplessness had lain with his duties, his family and his clan. Tonight 'twas
with Jillian.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He poured himself a second dram of whisky and tossed it
back. She had once again taken him over, both mind and body. After his guests, the
McMinn's left, she'd been moved, and Kade had gotten his bedchamber back. But her
sweet rose scent permeated his entire bed.<i>
</i>Knowing she'd slept there, her long, blond hair spread across his pillows, her
shapely legs tangled in the bed clothes, was almost more than he could bear.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kade hadn't bedded a woman since his wife, more than two years
past and now his body was telling him to do something about it. A walk might be
exactly the thing he needed to clear his head.<i> </i>He dressed, lit a candle and stepped out into the corridor.<i> </i>Somewhere, a door opened and closed.<i> </i>He rounded the corner and almost ran
into Jillian.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She gasped, nearly dropping the candle she carried.<i> </i>"You startled me, laird."<i> </i>She wore naught but a nightdress that
Kade guessed belonged to his sister.<i> </i>Though
it covered her from neck to toe, it did naught to hide her visible curves. Even
in the weak light of the candles her shapely figure was evident.<i> </i>Jillian's hair hung loose about her
face, her shoulders and her breasts.<i> </i>Her
eyes looked wide and innocent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kade took a deep breath and steadied himself.<i> </i>Her nearness was almost overwhelming.<i> </i>"I see you also couldn't sleep.<i> </i>I hope I was not in some way the cause,"
he teased.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

First the food: haggis, which I have eaten a couple times in Scotland and I actually like it, shepherds pie-it was wonderful. But my favorite was the barbecue that had been cooked over a peat fire-delicious!!!<br />
<br />
Then there was the music! Lots of great Celtic bands performed but my favorite was Albannach, a great Scottish band. If you enjoy Celtic music then you must hear them. Go to their web address for a tour schedule. <a href="http://www.albannachmusic.com/">Albannach</a><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
After my book,<i> Beneath a Highland Moon, </i>book 1 of The Highland Moon Series, was published in April, I've been able to promote it on some great sites. One I'd like to mention is an interview I did with historical romance author <a href="http://www.vondasinclair.com/">Vonda Sinclair</a>, another Highland lover! I enjoyed the interview very much, as well as the many great comments I received from readers about the cover and excerpt. One of them also won the giveaway of my ebook!</div>
