Medieval Romance Monday – featuring Viking Fire by Andrea R. Cooper

Posted on January 20, 2014 by admin

For this week’s Medieval Romance Monday we are featuring Viking Fire by Andrea R. Cooper.

Here is what Andrea has to say about Viking Fire:

“My inspiration for Viking Fire was reading that many historians say “Lochlann” was the Gaelic name for Viking. Since my grandmother’s maiden name was McLauchlin, I was intrigued. Sometimes Vikings would marry into a clan and in exchange for land and a wife, would fight rival clansmen and other Vikings. Even though my heritage is Scottish from my grandmother, the magic and wonder of Ireland made me have the story take place on its emerald shores. I love the medieval period and Vikings. I had to ensure my teenage son when he asked, that “yes, I do know Vikings didn’t have horns on their helmets.” Viking Fire swept me away as I was writing it and I hope you enjoy it as well. It was a time of myth and a little magic.”

Medieval Romance Monday – featuring Conquering Passion by Anna Markland

Posted on December 23, 2013 by admin

For this week’s Medieval Romance Monday we are featuring Conquering Passion by best selling medieval romance author Anna Markland.

Here is what Anna shared with us about Conquering Passion:

“Every amateur genealogist born in England dreams of tracing their ancestry back to the Norman Conquest. Unless you’re descended from nobility, which I am not, it’s an impossible dream. Common folk didn’t matter enough for their histories to be recorded. I decided, therefore, to create a fictitious family of Normans who came to England as a result of the invasion of 1066 AD, and follow them through successive generations in my novels.

In my research, I came across a factual story of a young Norman noblewoman forced to endure years of exile in Normandy with her psychotic father, cast out of her castle home because of a crime he committed.
I began to think about what life must have been like for her. How did she endure? I wanted to give her a happy ending, and so she became the heroine of Conquering Passion.

Sad to say, the real exile grew up to be a cruel, evil woman who married a Norman nobleman renowned for his barbarity. By all accounts they were a perfect match. She was eventually beheaded courtesy of the sword of an enraged enemy, of which she had many.

You’ll enjoy my story more!”
