Give Me a Highland Holiday Romance! By Mary Morgan

 

I love the holidays! It starts in September with the Autumn equinox—second harvest. The first is August 1^st. In truth, I always feel the tug within my soul around the third week of August. Part of me blames it on my former life as a bookseller for Borders Books. The children’s holiday books and merchandise would start to arrive around this time. We’d frantically have to make room for everything. Most of us would groan, but I would be giddy with anticipation. Without a doubt, September through December is a favorite of mine.

So, how did my love of this time correspond to my Highland holiday romances? Not as you would think, my friends. Even though I do love the holidays, I didn’t always plan on writing a holiday story. Now I have three published. 

Let’s travel back in time when I completed the last book in the Order of the Dragon Knights, Dragon Knight’s Ring. This series was an emotional roller coaster—from start to finish. Years of plotting, visiting Scotland for research, and being in the head of so many characters, including an evil villain! 

When I finished writing Dragon Knight’s Ring, I required an emotional cleansing. And I knew the answer: a magical, time-travel, romance with a Winter Solstice theme. Mix in the ever-meddling Fae and I gave the world my first holiday romance, A Magical Highland Solstice. From that first book, a second and third one was written. Not only were they my way of celebrating the season, but also a chance to write without battles, deaths, and villains weaving their way throughout my stories—and in my head! 

Sadly, this year was one which I needed to take a break from writing. Life caught up with me, along with family issues. Therefore, the book I intended to have out this season is delayed until next year. Yes, there will be another holiday book for next year—one filled with Fae magic, a feisty lass, and a Highland chieftain determined not to find love. 

Until then, my latest holiday romance, To Weave a Highland Tapestry is on sale for 99 pennies!

Happy Holidays! xo

My Love of Series: ORDER OF THE DRAGON KNIGHTS by Mary Morgan

I adore reading book series! So when I started writing the Order of the Dragon Knights, I realized I would create a world filled with not three, but five books. Originally, I had planned on seven to nine stories. A part of me thought no one would want to follow a first-time author throughout those many books. Ha! I was wrong. When I ended the series, I was flooded with letters from readers asking for more of the Dragon Knights. I'll never second guess my instinct again. 

Since then, I have written two other series which were spin-offs and three Highland holiday romances (A Tale of the Order of the Dragon Knights). 

Trust me, I am not finished with the Dragon Knights.

As a special thank you to my readers, the boxed collection (total of five books) of the Order of the Dragon Knights is on sale for 99¢! Limited time only, so grab your copy today or gift one to a friend.

They were an ancient order, descended from the great Tuatha Dé Danann, the Sidhe, or in simpler terms: the Fae. Half-human and half-fae, each knight was blessed with mystical powers. Given to them were holy relics from the Fae and guardianship over their Dragons.

They were known as the Dragon Knights.

However, there were those who believed the Order had too much power, and they tried to possess it for themselves. They were evil and twisted, and their plan succeeded one fateful night. The brothers of the Clan MacKay—Dragon Knights, fought a battle. Blood spilled onto holy ground, bringing forth the wrath of the Fae. Their relics were taken, and the Order was banished—each name stricken from the hallowed halls of the Fae.

The Clan MacKay is no longer.

The Dragon Knights have scattered across the land.

Yet out of the darkness, they will each fight for redemption and the women they love.
