seen through the eyes twenty-first century woman. She’s called Kes, but Nicholas prefers to call her by her full name, which is Kestrel because it’s different and odd, like her. I knew their story would be fun to write, and it was. Their dialog was such a pleasure that I loved when they were together almost as much as they finally did. Their love happens in the time of England’s War of the Roses, between the two Plantagenet branches, the House of Lancaster and the House of York’s fight for the throne. Here’s the blurb about the book, which I happen to love.

Can you tell readers more about this book and the series in general? I absolutely adored writing Echo of Roses. Some books just want to be written. You know what I mean? I found this picture some years ago of Travis Fimmel in armor. It was a movie promo. It looked ghostly and haunting and brought my muse to life. I fell in love with the photo. I even made it my home screen on my phone, and it’s still there after I finished his book. I called the character Nicholas. I knew he wasn’t a Highlander.

After receiving a dragon brooch from a distant great aunt, twenty-first century historian Kestrel Lancaster finds herself in fifteenth century England. Smack in the middle of a war. Like…in the middle of a blood and guts spewing, heads flying around her war. With six armored men riding toward her, bloody swords raised high in the air, horrified looks on their faces, there isn’t time to think. Only to scream. But like a dream, a dark knight rides into the fray and saves her from them all. When she realizes where and when she is, she doesn’t know whether to thank him for keeping her alive or curse him for it. Sir Nicholas de Marre has seen many things in his years as military commander for the House of York, but he has never seen a woman appear right before his eyes—and in the middle of the battlefield. Without thinking, he kills the Lancaster bastards closing in on her. Thankfully for her he is able to fight with her deafening screams behind him. He saves her from certain death, not knowing if she is mad, or he is, and carries her to safety. That’s his first mistake. The second is showing her mercy when he finds out she’s a Lancaster. But this odd woman who takes pictures with imaginary phones and teaches Cook to make cupcakes is easy to fall for, and before long, the heart of York’s champion is captured by a Lancaster.
