A Highland Christmas and a Giveaway!!

Ah, Christmas…love it or hate it, you can’t deny how pretty it is. All those twinkling lights, candy canes, tinsel, and sparkly reindeers. Not to mention the air waves filled with catchy Christmas carols you can’t help humming when you hear them. All. Day. Long.   I am one of those people who love Christmas. And in my household, I do almost all of it—outside decorations, inside decorations, gift buying, elf re-positioning (those of you with kids will understand this), and most of the shopping. Rumor has it, I may even stuff my own stocking with my favorite chocolate treats!  My husband likes opening presents with the kids on Christmas morning and eating our big Christmas dinner (and afternoon football), but if he didn’t have us, I’m pretty sure his only nod to the festive season would be a chocolate Santa he bought for himself at the drug store and the turkey dinner at Swiss Chalet.  I decided a while ago, that I’m okay with that. Christma...

My Writing Space! By Alyson McLayne

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Recently, I was asked  where do I write?  And I thought, what a great question! So here it is…pictures included (no Jaspers were hurt during the making of this post!). I write at home mostly, which means when my kids (twin 7-year-olds) aren’t at school, on a play date, or out with their dad, I write around them. So basically, I wear ear plugs. A lot. And I relocate from chair to chair and room to room. A lot. I’m kind of like a writing vagabond, moving around the house carrying my lap top, charging cord, coffee, muffin, phone, pens, highlighter, story outline, and ear plugs looking for the quietest place to write. I drop stuff. A lot. I don’t really have an office or a desk because I use my laptop as an actual (gasp!) laptop. Any comfy chair can become a work station for me. But I do have a recliner in my bedroom that I’ve had for years and years. The kids call it mommy’s writing chair. I’ve added a little bookshelf and drawer unit beside it, and I can p...

HIGHLAND CAPTIVE IS OUT TODAY!

The wait is finally over! HIGHLAND CAPTIVE is  out in the world!!! And to celebrate, I'm having a giveaway for ALL 4 BOOKS in The Sons Of Gregor Macleod.  ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ’— ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ’— ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ’— ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŽ‰ Last night I was sitting in my family room trying to get through the last push of promo, blogs, and my newsletter before the clock struck midnight and HIGHLAND CAPTIVE was released to bookshelves and e-readers alike. My kids, because they are nothing if not helpful, were crouched in front of me, drumming their chopsticks on the ottoman and giving me an impromptu rock concert. The predominant lyrics in the song my daughter was belting out was “Babies rule!” My son was singing something about Ninjas. At the same time. It occurred to me that this was probably the best send-off into the world I could have given HIGHLAND CAPTIVE—Gavin and Deirdre's story—because this is also Ewan's story, the son that both Gavin and Deirdre claim. And he would have loved it. This story...
