Amazon Bestselling Romance Author
June 28th and Stella Here!
Thanks to an incredible response to a Bookbub promotion, ‘How To Train Your Knight’ is #1 in the Amazon ranking for Ancient Romances! Thank you everyone, so much.
June Madness is almost over, but there are two more wonderful events still to come!!
The weirdest thing happened this morning and I just have to share it.
For those of you that don’t know me, I’m generally considered an extremely level-headed woman, I know well the difference between making things up and reality.
So that is why I am FREAKING OUT!
The heroine in my third book is entirely fictional and is supposed to be the only living survivor of King Magnus, the last of the Norse rulers on the Isle of Man. In my story, the King of Scotland, who conquered the Manx, decides to put her on the throne, as an effort to win the goodwill of the people. I made up a haughty female to be able to spar with the alpha knight I have in mind.
This morning, while doing some research on the ‘Isle of Man,’ I found an obscure reference to another, written by a scholar at Western Michigan University. In it, I read that there actually was a queen on the isle of Man in the same decade in which I am writing! She was the closest living heir to the last king of Man,
I had no idea.
SHIVERS.
