So, I’ve just returned from the Lucy Worsley tour. France has never been on my bucket list but that’s entirely my mistake. If I was younger, I’d become fluent in French & move there! While there, thanks to my hosts, I was blessed to visit the chateau that opens this upcoming Scottish novel releasing next January 2023. It was interesting …

Since you’ve met our heroine in the prior post, time for our privateer! Truth be told, I like my heroes more than my heroines. Maybe that comes from raising boys but I find men wonderfully uncomplicated & straightforward like our hero, Henri Lennox. His name also has a French flair. Our heroine even pronounces it correctly – AWN-ree – which …
At long last ’tis cover reveal week and I thought we’d have a little fun first by way of character introductions. So without further ado, here’s a peek into those pages of A Heart Adrift… Creating a new heroine is always a joy & a challenge.

You’ll see the inspiration for our heroine, Selah Hopewell, & other characters & scenes from the novel. Imagination is a …
