Excerpt for TALES FROM LACHMUIRGHAN:Welcome to Lachmuirghan, where fantasies come true.
You may have trouble finding Lachmuirghan on a map. That's because it exists only in our imaginations. Hidden in this secret valley, Lachmuirghan can be whatever you want it to be.
Imagine a sheltered valley and loch somewhere in the west of Scotland. At the head of the valley is an ancient circle of standing stones; at the lower end stands a ruined castle overlooking the bustling village center.
As you explore, suddenly you notice things are not quite as they should be. The village is the same, yet somehow changed. You notice that you have also changed-your senses are more alive than you've ever known. You stand at a strange yet familiar crossroad. Out of the mist, a voice calls your name.
Where will you go? And to whom? In this fantasy world, the choice is completely yours.

EXCERPT FOR: IN THE SHADOW OF THE SELKIE: (BOOK RELEASE JANUARY 29, 2008)
In the dangerous world of the selkie underground, a selkie vampire king and a mortal woman join forces to fight the queen of darkness that would destroy them all.
Lady Theodosia Barrett is blackmailed by Dubheasa, Queen of the Dark Fin-Folk, and forced to stalk the Cu Maran crypts in search of a selkie king's pelt. What she finds is the king himself-and he isn't only a selkie, but also a vampire. Calling upon her skills as a vampire hunter, Theo stakes him. But she doesn't complete the kill. A year later, King Roane comes back, demanding her hand in marriage.
Theo has no choice. To protect her family, she must accept.
Selkie vampire King Roane Cu Mara is determined to keep his people safe from the Dark Fin-Folk. To do so, he must first solve the puzzle as to why Theo, a soul born to protect the selkies, tried to kill him. Until he can figure out why she betrayed her own kind, Roane sets out to keep a close eye on her by making her his bride.
But even as Theo begins to warm Roane's cold, vampyric heart, Queen Dubheasa plots to destroy selkie-kind in a twisted quest to make Roane her own. For she knows something that Roane doesn't-Theo's soul holds the key to keeping the selkie kingdom alive.
