Spring forward...

... right into a new blog design! ;-)

With a new season comes change. Positive change, of course.

After the frustrating to-ing and fro-ing with my hijacked website, I've decided to expand this blog to incorporate all the website pages, all updated. Eventually, I'll use the web addy for it, but not just yet.

So, gone is the suspenseful, dark landscape. Yes, I'll miss it too, but this new design fits my current mood. Red. Action. Power. Heat. And perhaps a sense of daring...

A brief update on my current projects - the contemporary suspense is going to be a full-length romance, so I've taken my other WIP, a Scottish medieval romance called Captured by the Knight, to turn into a novella. It's much better suited.

Saving Isobel de Moray from abduction by mercenaries, Cailean MacKinnon, a Scottish knight, takes her to his island castle. But does she believe his assurances to keep her safe, out of loyalty to her father? Or is he simply after a wife for himself?

Expect plenty of sizzling tension! ;-)

      I'm very sorry for your hijacked website ... but what exactly happened ?

      This new look reminds me of a potpourri of petals with its bewitching fragrance, in fact for me it feels very soothing, strange, n'est-ce pas !?

      I'm looking forward to reading this new Scottish novella ...

    Thank you, Christine and Jennifer. So glad you like the design. It definitely needed an overhaul. lol :-)

    Black Tulip, malware got into one of the widgets in my Wordpress-based website cathiedunn.com. Was a pain to get rid of. Had to get my host people to remove the links manually as I couldn't do it. They'd locked me out of my own website. :( Glad you like the design. Merci.

    Thanks for visiting, ladies!

Welcome N. Gemini Sasson, historical fiction author!

Today, I welcome historical fiction author N. Gemini Sasson , whose latest release, The King Must Die , the sequel to Isabeau , is out now. As part of the Goddessfish blog tour, she is also giving away a $25 Amazon gift voucher to one random commenter on the tour! But first, to find out more about her, I've asked her some questions. I hope you'll enjoy the excerpt below, too. Here goes... Welcome to my blog. What inspired you to write about this particular period? Jean Plaidy’s books, which I devoured during my teenage years, introduced me to the Plantagenet kings of England. She and other writers like Sir Walter Scott and Alexandre Dumas were definitely early influences, but the story that inspired me to explore the 14 th century and eventually write about it was the film Braveheart. I know, I know, there’s a lot of fiction to it, but it was a very dramatic and moving story. After seeing it, I knew I wanted to write something epic like that. I started out writing a

Welcome romance author D'Ann Lindun

Today, I'm hosting fellow romance author, D'Ann Lindun . If you - like me - love cowboys, you're in for a treat! ;-) Falling in love with romance novels the summer before sixth grade, D’Ann Lindun never thought about writing one until many years later when she took a how-to class at her local college. She was hooked! She began writing and never looked back. Romance appeals to her because there's just something so satisfying about writing a book guaranteed to have a happy ending. D’Ann’s particular favorites usually feature cowboys and the women who love them. This is probably because she draws inspiration from the area where she lives, Western Colorado, her husband of twenty-nine years and their daughter. Composites of their small farm, herd of horses, five Australian shepherds, a Queensland heeler, eight ducks and cats of every shape and color often show up in her stories!  So, to discover more about D'Ann, I've asked her a few questions. 1.  Wha
