Hey peeps!
Welcome to the Magic Touch Hop! Big thanks go to Riverina Romantics for hosting.
Magic is so wonderful, isn’t it? I do love my fantasy tales, those ones that have a humble hero who is revealed to be a creature wreathed in magic and prophecy, destined to change the world order and defeat the Evil Foe. *sigh* So much fun, amirite?
One of my favourite series when I was growing up was The Belgariad, The Mallorean and The Elenium by David and Leigh Eddings. The Eddings’s were amazing storytellers, cementing my love of epic fantasy at a young age. Of course, this has now crystalised into my love of Game of Thrones.
Another magical tale I adored as a teen was Labyrinth. A female hero, a seductive villain, friendship and turmoil and trials (and one REALLY pretty dress), Labyrinth seemed as if it was tailor-made for me. I loved watching Sarah’s adventures as she struggled to rescue the baby brother she had been jealous of, as she found the strength of will and the courage she always possessed to defeat the Goblin King. Plus, songs and puppets! In fact, Labyrinth has so inspired me I have an idea for a story about a Labyrinth with a dark castle at its centre…
And now in a segue that makes no sense whatsoever, my upcoming release! SILK & SCANDAL is magical only in the sense that the story came together with very little effort from me – Thomas and Nicola leapt almost fully formed into my head and it was an absolute joy to write their story.
I hope you enjoyed my contribution to the Magic Touch Hop, peeps! Make sure you visit everyone else on the tour, and enter the giveaway below!
Eight years ago…
Thomas Cartwright and Lady Nicola Fitzgibbons were friends. Over the wall separating their homes, Thomas and Nicola talked of all things – his studies to become a barrister, her frustrations with a lady’s limitations.
All things end.
When her diplomat father gains a post in Hong Kong, Nicola must follow. Bored and alone, she falls into scandal. Mired in his studies of the law and aware of the need for circumspection, Thomas feels forced to sever their ties.
But now Lady Nicola is back…and she won’t let him ignore her.
And now, the contest#!
