Hip Hip Hooray – it’s publication day

Feb 14

Posted by

The day has finally arrived. Dark Highland Skies is available to download at the introductory price of 99p/$1.20. But, be quick, tomorrow the price goes up to £3.50 (or equivalent). Paperbacks are also available postage FREE for Prime subscribers.

My beta reading team have enjoyed reading Dark Highland Skies and I loved writing it. My husband checked through the final edits before I sent the manuscript to Sarah at Goldcrest Books to have it formatted for Kindle and the cover added.

Cheekily, he gave marks out of ten! But did add how much he’d enjoyed reading it and wondered what I’d be writing next. Good question . . .

So – what is Dark Highland Skies about? Read the blurb and find out more

The starting point for the novel was a visit to Mallaig and the Silver Sands of Morar in 2021. I stood on the beach on a beautiful summer’s day and wondered how it would look in the depths of winter. I turned, and in my mind’s eye, I saw my heroine, Halley Dunbar, slither down the bank to the beach. There she is rugger tackled to the ground by the hero, Tor, who . . . . You can read the opening paragraph here – and I hope you will feel compelled download a copy and read on.

Picking up the
nearest sturdy branch she prodded the ground in front of her and edged forward, forgetting about everything other than reaching the beach without breaking her neck. Luckily, the moment she set foot on the silver sands the clouds parted, and the pale gibbous moon showed the way to the old salmon bothy. Straightening, Halley looked across the loch towards
the lights on the far shore and despite her earlier resolution, memories
crowded in thick and fast. Voices. Laughter. The touch of a hand on her
skin. A Judas kiss. Now she could finally admit that putting her uncle’s
affairs in order wasn’t the only reason for making this trip.
She had ghosts to lay.

There’s nothing more for me to add other than I loved writing this novel and I hope you will love reading it. Do remember to leave a review and to share your thoughts with me on Amazon or Goodreads. I’m just about to start writing #8 but I’ll tell you more about that in future blog posts.

Bye for now, Lizzie
