Her Island Destiny's New Look

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to stop in and let you know that "Her Island Destiny" is in to my editor and will be released this Summer!!! (Doing a happy dance!)

Her Island Destiny
Book 3 in the
Warriors of Destiny Series

In the days of Wallace and Bruce, two worlds and centuries collide on the breathtaking Isles of Orkney and Skye.

Cian MacKyleakin, known as the dreaded Wolf of Moal has dedicated his life to fighting for Scotland, but when his lineage is challenged, adding fuel to the rumors that are circulating through the English court, Edward Longshanks declares that the only way he can retain his lands is to marry the only daughter of the MacKinnons.  But when she’s found dead, things get complicated very quickly.

Isla MacKinnon, call sign Valkyrie, is a CH-47 Helicopter pilot for the United States Army.  Isla's helicopter is attacked and crashes in the Afghan mountains.  As the only survivor, she is ordered by her doctor and her command to take R&R to recover. Instead, she finds herself fighting for her life when a simple picnic on the beach turns perilous.

Can these two fallen warriors find the passion they need within each other’s embrace when they are from two different worlds and centuries?

Coming to DCL Publications Summer 2012!

Finally, It's Autumn!

Good morning, dear friends and readers!
I'm sitting on my front porch watching the sun rise with my two corgis lying by my feet as they scan the horizon for any foe or other humans to persuade to play with them.

I’m sipping on a hot apple cider and thanking the Almighty that the autumn weather has finally made her grand appearance.  56 degrees F and the warmest it will get today is 72.  The perfect autumn weather!

As I’ve said before, this is by far my favorite time of year!  This time of year is seductive and alluring.  How lovely it would be to have my lover cuddled with me underneath this quilt as we watch the sunrise together as we had once enjoyed during past autumns.  Soft kisses would be shared as we’d remember the night before in front of the bonfire as we'd listen to the crack and sizzle of the wood pop underneath the glowing embers and the amber flames entwined in a magical sacred dance.  There is nothing like making love in the open crisp air of autumn as the same breeze that carries the fallen leaves caress our naked flesh.

Oh, how I love this time of year!

Haunts and kisses!
Annie

HAUNTED LEGACY Gets a Wonderful Review

This just in from the beautiful Delilah Marvelle! What a glorious way to end my stressful week! Thank you so much Delilah!!!
A review of HAUNTED LEGACY, the story of Lust from the Seven Sins Print novel, published by DCL Publications.
"From the moment HAUNTED LEGACY begins I was thrust into a time of grit, yearning, passion and mystery that seized me and didn't want to let me go. It was like a ghost story of old made new with a sweeping romance that made every single word worthwhile. From the moment Sheena and Lachlan's eyes meet, the heat begins to rise and I melted seeing their wounded hearts beat for each other against all odds and the tragic history that haunted them both. Sheena and Lachlan were absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that the story had to end..." - Delilah Marvelle, author of Mistress of Pleasure and Lord of Pleasure www.DelilahMarvelle.com

Seasons Change

August is quickly coming to a close and soon we'll be within the arms of the Autumn season.
I love all seasons for their own unique reasons, but I have a fondness for Autumn.  Yes, my birthday is in October, but that isn't why.
I love the way the Autumn air feels and smells.
I love the smell of cider brewing, permeating the aroma of apple and cinnamon.
I love the crispness of the morning as I sit on the front porch wrapped in a quilt watching the sun rise.
I love the rich colors of the leaves on the trees.
I love the colors of the mums and pumpkins in the fields of the farms as I drive by them while on the road.  And I love the coziness of the way lovers snuggle under the blankets with each other as they go on hayrides in the country, listening to various ghost stories and tales of the macabre.
What do you love about Autumn, dear friends?
Haunts and kisses;
Annie
