I always like to mention this inexpensive 90-minute read for Christmas. On the planet Megasta, colonists live in an uneasy peace with native tribes until the advent of Terran fever threatens their tenuous coexistence. Can the efforts of a medical technician from Old Earth and her love for a Megasti man avert bloodshed between their people? Only .99, a 5-star review book: https://www.amazon.com/Peace-New-Earth-Miriam-Newman-ebook/dp/B00AEGID2M

VIKING ROMANCE: THE EAGLE'S LADY
Now and through much of November, you can read excerpts from Book II of my Viking series at the Silver Dagger blog tour. Also, don't forget to enter the drawing for an Amazon gift certificate.
The Eagle's Lady continues the saga of Ari and Maeve begun in Book I, The Eagle's Woman. Here is an excerpt for you:
Hedeby, 853 A.D.
Chapter One
He was her owner who had bought her with Hedeby coin in the public market and taken her virginity not an hour later in a little house rented for the purpose. Before that, he and his Viking marauders had raided her peaceful village in Eire, stealing her from the smith she was to wed, just as his brother had then stolen her and taken her to Hedeby to sell. Maeve knew she should hate him.
Son of an impoverished, dying chieftain, he raided for booty and slaves so he could feed his people. Pagan himself, still he spared Christian priests though he sold them. He was a heathen, probably a murderer, and it was a sin to lie with him.

BOOK BLITZ: CLOTHILDE
RABT Book Tours is featuring a Book Blitz today for Book 3 of my Norman Conquest romance series, "Clothilde."
Beginning with the prequel, "Flame of Normandy," and continuing through my best selling "The Comet," each book can be read as a stand alone. Read together, they chronicle the lives and loves of a Norman family during William of Normandy's conquest of Anglo-Saxon England.
Clothilde is a study in contradictions. She cannot be a knight, refuses to be a nun and loathes the idea of marriage.
See her story and enter a drawing for an ebook copy of "Flame of Normandy," which is getting very fine reviews.
This series is such a favorite of mine, I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

IT'S RELEASE DAY!
It's release day! This morning Book III of my Comet series, "Clothilde" released as an ebook on Amazon. Following the rise of William of Normandy in his ascent to the English throne in 1066, "Clothilde" is the final book in the trilogy. Each book can be read as a stand alone. In this final installment, the du Flaumier family dynasty created by the forced marriage of Catherine Broussard to Hugo du Flaumier will face its greatest challenge as Hugo follows William to England to conquer the Anglo-Saxon King Harold and seize the English throne. Safely--or perhaps unsafely--left behind on the shores of Normandy, Hugo and Catherine's youngest daughter is left to her own devices. Bad idea!

COVER REVEAL: BOOK III OF "THE COMET" SERIES - "CLOTHILDE"
Book III of my Norman Conquest romance series, "Clothilde," will release May 7!
I am seriously in love with this series and hope you will be, too. Beginning with the prequel, "Flame of Normandy," it traces the history of a Norman dynasty before, during and shortly after the time of the Conquest.
When William of Normandy arranges the marriage of Hugo du Flaumier and Catherine Broussard in Book I, "Flame of Normandy," he is joining pledged enemies. Hugo and Catherine's father have been trying to kill each others for years and many people believe Hugo and Catherine will continue the pattern.
Fate takes its course in Book II, "The Comet." Neel de Jardinier, a young bastard knight raised at Hugo du Flaumier's castle, seeks the land in England that he can never have in France. And, like his foster father, Neel also marries a woman who would like to see him dead.
In Book III, "Clothilde," Hugo and Catherine have--despite everything --produced a daughter who is the living emblem of their passionate power struggle. Headstrong, reckless and prone to trouble, Clothilde du Flaumier will resist every constraint imposed upon her and those constraints are legion. She cannot be a knight, she will not be a nun and she loathes the thought of becoming a wife.
See her story in "Clothilde." Like her mother, she will never bore you.
Here is the current link for Books I and II of the series. You may want to get a head start! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VWM5PKY
And here, at last, is Clothilde. You can see more of her May 7.

SNEAK PREVIEW: HISTORICAL ROMANCE, CLOTHILDE, RELEASING IN MAY, 2021
As if life wasn't exciting enough right now with two blog tours running simultaneously on two different books...Book III in my historical romance Comet series, Clothilde, will release in May. Those who have read Flame of Normandy and The Comet will have learned something about the Norman Conquest of England, the Battle of Hastings and the events that presaged it. In particular, the Battle of Varaville is little known in history, but it was the turning point in which the forces of the King of France were vanquished by those of William of Normandy--nominally his vassal! Now that takes real nerve. See that battle in Book I, Flame of Normandy, and how it charts the course of the du Flaumier family.
