You didn't say which coast yob live on, but the mentimon of sand dunes makes us think of the southeast coast??? <br /><br />Thanks for tuning in today. We're gratified that you liked the excerpt. Caylith has gone from a slow admiration of her elderly aunt and now to a new perspective on another "old" person. She doesn't even realize it, but she's learning from them.<br />Erin OQuinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113229623866154645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796549149529669896.post-59376959642658433272013-03-24T13:05:24.855-07:002013-03-24T13:05:24.855-07:00Hi Bil and Bon, I've been waiting to read this...Hi Bil and Bon, I've been waiting to read this book after enjoying the first one.

Bil and Bon Franks are, indeed, the authors of this series. Erin O'Quinn (Bon's pen name) departed from us some time back to write steamier romance novels, but we're firmly in the YA-adult historical fantasy genre. We don't have an easy way to log into this site under our names.<br /><br />You'll find two more novels coming from Bil and Bon in this series, which was born as a result of wanting to put St. Patrick in a novel. He is our inspiration and our muse...at, um, MuseItUp Publishing!<br /><br />We love Texas for its wide-openness, even if gardening is a challenge. Thank you for your visit. We'll look for your books on MIU. ~Bil and Bon (honest, we're the real deal)Erin OQuinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113229623866154645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796549149529669896.post-34351487833062416302013-03-24T10:52:14.975-07:002013-03-24T10:52:14.975-07:00Miriam, indeed this is a beautiful site.

LOL I'm a new fellow MIUer and this makes me remember when I first joined my local RWA chapter and everyone it seemed had two names! I could never remember which was the real name and the pen name. After several years, I've pretty much got it figured, guess I will at MIU also. :)<br />Love the rose theme you've done with this book and the symbolism with your heroine. <br />I can sympathize with you on our Texas weather. It's pretty much the pits in any season. Ah, but it can also be amazing in any season with the exception of summer. Good luck with sales, y'all.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010048187355215576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796549149529669896.post-26034997667822689012013-03-24T08:37:53.752-07:002013-03-24T08:37:53.752-07:00Wow, Lindsay, how gracious of you!

If you can get over the brambly-ness of them, they are absolutely beautiful in their five-petal simplicity.<br /><br />Thank you for the really nice comments! ~Bil and BonErin OQuinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113229623866154645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796549149529669896.post-62456231658836963142013-03-24T07:26:15.149-07:002013-03-24T07:26:15.149-07:00Welcome to The Celtic Rose.
