Historical author Madelyn Hill's here talking about Highland Honor, the final book in her Highland Thistle trilogy which came out May 16th. And she's giving away a copy of the fiirst book in the series, Highland Hope.
Madelyn, please tell us a little about yourself.
First, thank you for hosting me this week! I’m a teacher by day and a writer by night. I live in Western New York with my husband, three children and a dog named Cannoli. I love to go to the movies, cook, and visit with my neighborhood friends I call my YaYas.
I love firsts, so tell me about the moment when a publisher told you they wanted to publish your book.
It was interesting because I received an email from the editor, but I hadn’t received an email from the publisher (not my current publisher SMP) stating they wanted to publish my book. Very surprising in a great way. Of course I was so excited and naïve about the entire process.
If it isn’t too nosy. How about the first time you kissed your true love?
Hmmm, well I’ll kiss and tell! My first kiss with my true love happened outside a restaurant after closing time and we didn’t want to leave. I believe I was leaning against my car when he delved in.
Other than your own, who are your favorite (heroes/heroines/writers) in your genre?
There are so many! In the historical market, I could go with the classics and say Mr. Darcy and Mr. Rochester. For something written a little sooner, I’d go with Roarke from the J.D Robb series. I love Rourke!!!
Tell us about Highland Honor
Lady Honor MacAllister can heal everything but a broken heart . . .
Lady Honor does not believe in marriage. Her father’s death broke her mother’s spirit and took her from her daughters emotionally well before her own death. When Honor is attacked in the forest, she keeps the event to herself, lest her lairds search for the man and strike him down. As a healer, she’ll do anything it takes not to cause harm. Rumors of attacks in the Highlands forces the lairds to increase guards and security measures. When Bryce Calder is assigned to protect Lady Honor, she fights the burgeoning attraction for the man, knowing she’ll never risk her heart to love.
Warrior Bryce Calder trusts no woman. Women only strive to better themselves through cunning, as his father warned throughout his childhood. When he is asked to escort Lady Honor while she gathers healing herbs, he is vexed. Training the men and protecting the clan are his duties, not following the sharped-tongued lass about the wood. With each passing day, Bryce becomes enchanted by Lady Honor, despite his father’s words, but his unworthiness halts any proclamation of his desire.

An unlikely partnership develops during the frequent trips to the forest and work in the apothecary. The walls each has erected to protect their hearts and their future crumbles. Until a stranger arrives at the keep. Lady Honor’s secret is threatened to be revealed putting in jeopardy the growing romance between the ardent healer and the reluctant warrior-suitor.
Sounds like an intrigung read.

ReplyDeleteIt changes from time to time. Right now I read more Western historical, but I like variety so I read all kinds.
