So, what is the novel about? Here’s the blurb . . .

I am often asked where my ideas come from and the honest answer is: I don’t know! Something – a place, a photo, a tune will be enough to set me dreaming: “I wonder what would happen if ….” However, for Dark Highland Skies I can recall the exact moment when something triggered the chain of thoughts which would become Dark Highland Skies. That trigger was the Silver Sands of Morar and a small wooden bothy I saw near Camusdarach, Arisaig. I put the two together and came up with the location of Halley’s great-uncle’s bothy near Mallaig. Then I wondered – what would bring Halley all the way from Hawaii to this remote corner of Scotland? The answer popped into my head: to organise her great-uncle’s funeral. Then I started writing.

The questions which I had to resolve came thick and fast. Who is Halley Dunbar? Why has she stayed away from a place and a great uncle she loves, for almost twenty years? Tapping my pencil on my notepad, I glanced up and spotted a book on my shelf: The Observer’s Book of Astronomy. I’d received it as a prize for good exam results many moons ago (pardon the pun) and, in another life, I would’ve loved to study astronomy. So Halley, born in the year Halley’s Comet was circling the solar system. became an astrophysicist searching for a exoplanet capable of sustaining life. Something that might not exist; just like the love of a man worthy of her.

Which brought me to the hero, Hector Strachan (aka Tor) the laird’s son. I gave him a background in the army, in electronics and explosives and brought him home from Afghanistan badly wounded, suffering from PTSD and with demons to overcome. Can Halley help him heal his scars, mental and physical? Can Tor convince Halley that he’s the one man who can make her happy and persuade her to reveal why she’s stayed away from a place and a great-uncle she loves? If you want to know the answer to those questions, you’ll need to buy a download or a paperback and all will be revealed.

As my beta reader Isabella T. put it: “a hero in a kilt and a uniform, what’s not to like?

Another reviewer said: Lizzie is the queen of Scottish contemporary romance. Her uplifting stories are the perfect retreat from a world of troubles.
