I've been living with these characters for quite a long time by now. Sometimes I forget that the book hasn't been published! Right now, I'm up to my ears in rewrites and edits. But I'm working on it. You will be reading it soon. :)
In the meantime, as you might know, I finally got to Scotland! The trip was a birthday gift from my husband. We followed the footsteps of Lachlann and Ronán and absolutely loved every moment, even in the pouring rain!

A Little Excerpt
“We can’t just replace one person with another, can we?” Certainly, no one could replace her mother.
“No.” He shook his head vigorously. “We can’t. But it’s nice if we don’t have to be alone with only memories.”
“True. Especially since not all memories are good ones.” Another breeze… She closed her eyes and turned towards it. Her thoughts and emotions were all over the place tonight.
He didn’t respond. After a moment, she opened her eyes and looked at him. He was watching her.
“Do you think that good, new memories supplant old, good memories?” he asked.
She thought for a moment. “No. We can have both.”
He nodded. In agreement? She wasn’t sure.
“But…” he continued, “can good supplant bad?”
She drew a breath. “To tell you the truth, I don’t know.”
