Accompanied by her bodyguard, Bryce Graham, Alicia won’t know until she gets there that Olivia Frost-Highmere is manipulating events regarding the estranged family members to suit her agenda. Part of the reason the family has fallen out is due to the disappearance of Allister Highmere, some twenty years ago. Alicia’s father vanished without a trace upsetting the family company and leaving the seat of CEO vacant. Uncle Hugo had his eye on the power seat and accused Olivia of murder, to get it, but is it murder if there’s no body? When a corpse is discovered in the family cemetery, where there shouldn’t be one, the cold case regarding Allister Highmere is reopened. Alicia has no idea who in the family or the Highmere...

Coming up in February 2020 Struggling with a tricky assignment on a wild Scottish island,  Australian journalist Jasmine's almost literal lifeline is the sexy ferry deckhand.  But is he more than he seems? https://bookswelove/net/authors/brown-priscilla-romance  Recently I spent an enjoyable afternoon in a large local garden which is not often open to the public. It's on undulating land, semi-rural on the edge of town, with numerous mature trees, both Australian natives and others including Californian redwoods. Swathes of grassy areas are bordered with various flowers and shrubs; there's a vegetable and herb plot, and a 'secret' walled garden. Several benches invite relaxing and enjoying the ambience. Paths meander throughout; following one towards the boundary, I came to a coppice which thinned out to reveal a shady seat with an expansive view down over farmland to distant hills. Sitting on the seat was a woman writing on a tablet. Maybe she was writing ...

First of all, Happy Birthday to Alexander H., born on Nevis January 11, 1757. To begin, I will post a quote of his that feels utterly relevant. "...a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that ... those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants."  ~~The Federalist Papers Books2Read Amazon Barnes and Noble I tunes Scribed Kobo Now to the less fraught subject, the trials of a fluffy kitty... Here is the aforesaid "Fluffy Kitty" the day she came to us, a rescue baby, a bitten-up kitten who had just been to the vet for an abscess from a bite to be drained. My husband and I have learned a lot about her over the years, by observation and inference. Kimi is the onl...

The Princess in the Tower.   Chanel, dressed as a princess I’ve always been drawn to stories where the princess is trapped in a tower. After all, the standard place to imprison damsels in distress and overthrown princes is a tower. Preferably on top of the tallest tower, in the biggest castle, on the highest hill, in the most dangerous land in the whole wide world. “Rapunzel" (/rəˈpʌnzəl/; German: [ʁaˈpʊnt͡səl]) is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales. Is one story which comes to mind.  Among the earliest examples of this theme are Perseus and Hercules saving princesses from hydras or sea creatures. In Yamata no Orochi, a hero also saves the princess from a type of hydra, which could be considered a primeval dragon. “Beauty and the Beast” (Disney version) This is pretty similar to La Belle et la Bête, the French fairy tale (minus the animated furniture). Why am I drawn ...

Check out Vijaya's Sci-fi on BWL HERE As a sci-fi author, I am fascinated by what’s happening right now concerning space. On December 20, 2019, the US government announced the creation of a new branch of the military to operate in space, called the US SPACE FORCE. The new logo, however, is eliciting frowns. Star Trek fans say it was ripped from their beloved Starfleet badge. Judge for yourself. But why to go space? And why now?  The official answer is to protect our communication satellites and the International Space Station… but could there be other reasons?  Does the government fear an attack from space?  Is there an asteroid threatening our planet? Scientists say it’s not a matter of if but when it will happen… and we are overdue. Remember the end of the dinosaurs? Or is it a race for dominance in Space? The Chinese declared a space race for the moon and have already landed equipment on the dark side. They also have satellites in moon orbit. It didn’t make the headlin...

Find all my books here on my BWL page Was there really an “Age of Chivalry” and if so when did it die, for die it certainly did. It never occurs to most men to open a door for a woman nowadays. A smile and a thank you go a long way to making someone’s day more pleasant. The following is one of Edmund Burke’s quotes in his “Reflections on the Revolution in France” written many years ago. “The Age of Chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever. Never, never more, shall we behold the generous loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified obedience, that subordination of the heart, which kept alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted freedom. The unbought grace of life, the cheap defence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprize is gone!” More of his amazing quotes can be found here: https://www.goalcast.com/2019/05/29/edmund-burke-quotes/ I learnt abou...

Kathy Fischer-Brown *** Okay, enough shameless self promotion. *silly grin* Today I’m sharing a classic British recipe that originated in Cornwall, the setting for my current project, a Regency romance titled Sophie. It’s Book 1 of The Ladies of Harrington House series. My hero Lord Bryce Langdon eats a pasty one day while having lunch in an inn in Truro. It’s thought the pasty originated as a convenient meal for Cornish miners who were unable to ...
