Blurb:

Fascinated by the Legend of the Cornwallis Ghost, Becca sneaks into a military base to see the ghost’s tombstone.

When she finds and follows a secret tunnel to the Officers’ Mess, Becca meets a living and breathing Eve, the betrayed young woman who hanged herself and haunts Cornwallis.

Trapped in the past with Eve in the days leading up to her tragic death, Becca becomes Rebecca, a woman devastated by a shattering loss and failing marriage.

Can Becca unravel the past to give Rebecca and Eve a second chance, and escape with her heart and future intact?

Behind the Scene:

Back in the late 1980's, hubby and I enjoyed a three-year posting to beautiful CFB Cornwallis, a Canadian military training base in Nova Scotia. We lived in PMQs and from my living room window, I was spoiled with the most gorgeous sunsets over the Annapolis Basin. We moved in with one daughter and moved out with two daughters and half a son.

The thing that fascinated me the most on the base was the legend of the ghost of the Officers' Mess. According to the legend, a local young woman fell madly in love with a British sailor during WWII. When the sailor left on his warship to go back to his wife to England, she was heartbroken. She watched him sail away from one of the upstairs bedrooms of the Officers' Mess before hanging herself in front of the window. Her ghost was said to haunt the Officers' Mess, making strange noises and playing with lights, but only showing her ghostly self to unfaithful married men.

I wasn't a writer back then, but I've never forgotten that legend. I've always thought it would make a great story. Well, more than thirty years later, I tackled the story of the ghost in "Misguided Honor."

In Misguided Honor, a reporter named Becca sneaked into CFB Cornwallis to investigate the story of the ghost only to be transported back in time to 1941 where she meets the local young woman in the days prior to her tragic death.

A Cover, A Blurb, And A Lady. Windmaster Legend #mfrwauthor #mfrwhook

A forbidden love. An impossible quest. The accusation of witchcraft. Can love survive?

 

Today’s hook isn’t a snippet, but rather a cover reveal and a blurb reveal for Windmaster Legend, my upcoming March fantasy romance release.


First the Blurb:

Fate conspired to keep Iol and Pelra apart. Friendship is allowed between members of competing trading houses, but nothing more. He loves the sea and wants his own ship. She hates the deep blue and has worked too hard to allow her dreams to be sidetracked by the lure of magic.

Despite a beautiful woman on his arm every night, Leod wanted the one he couldn’t have—Pelra. His kin on the ruling council did more than put him on the fast track to his own ship. It provided him the power to fulfill his desires, or to ruin those who refused him. Not even the water gods can protect Iol and Pelra from Leod, or their fate as star-crossed lovers.

Exiled to distant posts, given impossible challenges, and subject to Leod’s machinations, Iol and Pelra only have the hope of a future together to sustain them. But can their love survive the accusation of witchcraft?


Now the Cover.

Without further fanfare, I present Lady Pelra of the House of Pirri. A talented musician, leader of wagon trains, and skilled in trading and contracts.

Blurb:

Plucked naked from the North Sea, bruised and nearly drowned, Niall Sinclair wakes bound to the mast of the pirate ship, The Black Thistle. Hiding his identity, and brutalized by the first mate and other seamen, their captain comes to his aid. Her identity, and gender, are a surprise, and his physical reaction to her makes him nearly forget his need to escape, and return to his clan.

When kidnapped from her shipbuilding business in modern day Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the last place Blair MacIan figured to end up, was at the helm of a pirate ship in 1603 Scotland. With her abusive husband dead, and the ship, the crew, and their people under her care, the last thing she needed was to fish a naked man from the sea. His ravaged face and ragged sandy hair could not detract from his magnificence, and she sensed in him, a means for her own escape.
