Finally... February reading....

Better late than never.... I did read books in February... but it was a short month, and there weren't that many of them.........

Favourite book by a long way was Butterfly Hunter by Julie Bozza.... I want to read the rest... damn book buying ban!  The other stand out was my re-read of Hard Tail.  I am always skeptical when I re-read a book I loved that I will not like it as much - no problems here, and this has now made it to my buy in paperback list (which I shall do at the UK Meet in September)

The total list....

1. Butterfly Hunter – Julie Bozzza
2. Science and Fiction – Ray Van Fox
3. Fall into You – Posy Roberts
4. Jackdaw – K.J. Charles
5. Mauled – S.J.D. Peterson
6. The Archers of Kynthos – K.M. Harty
7. A Case of Spirits – K.J. Charles
8. Hard Tail – J.L. Merrow (re-read)
9. Charon’s Dilemma – Eloreen Moon
10. Yarulf’s Duty – Vicktor Alexander
11. Blackbird Knitting in a Bunny’s Lair – Amy Lane
12. El Presidio Drives North – Romero Domashita
13. The Forgotten Holocaust – Scott Mariani (non M/M)
14. Triskelion – Jana Denardo
15. Miles and the Magic Flute – Heidi Cullinan
16. Jaden’s Honour – Sassy Lane
17. Training Season – Leta Blake
18. Murder at Pride Lodge – Mark McNease

Normal Service Will Resume Shortly

I know, its March already and I've not summarised February, or done the book's read list.... and the reason for this tardiness?  It's prompt weekend over at the Goodreads M/M Group.

For the last week the organising team have accepted 200 prompts from members and this weekend they are up for "adoption" by prospective writers.

This year I was going to try for something different - possibly a paranormal or fantasy....... but, well, after trying to ignore a historical for nearly 24 hours I started sneaking a bit of research into my afternoon, then some more, and before I knew it I had a prompt.

So, here is my companion for the next couple of months, and the prompt that has been given to guide us on our way...

As you can see we’re in Scotland. The year is 1745 and the Jacobite rebellion spells disaster for the Highland clansmen who followed Bonnie Prince Charlie into battle against the English.

It’s so not the right time for this man to fall in love which of course means that, inevitably, he does. But with who? A fellow rebel? An English soldier? A man from a rival clan?

I leave the details in your capable hands, dear Author, but if you could find room in your story for a couple of Gaelic endearments and that fabulous horse he’s riding, I’d be thrilled.

Could you please make sure that my lovely highlander finds happiness— even after Prince Charlie has fled the blood-soaked battlefield at Culloden.


So, there we have it... I've already got names for my characters, and the horse (who is called Bran) ... I now just need to tell their story :)
