This is a BIG celebration for the release by The Wild Rose Press of Oath of a Warrior.  The author Mary Morgan has agreed to be subjected to an interview all for your enjoyment.  🙂

Interview Q&A from Mary Morgan for Linda Nightingale

Tell me three words that describe yourself starting with A, B, and C

Adaptable, Bard, Compassionate

Which genre or genres do you write or prefer to write? And why?

Historical, Paranormal, Time Travel, Fantasy. It’s a mixture of everything I love—from Celtic Mythology, history, and a yearning to return to the past. Often times, I’ve stated I’m a woman in the wrong century.

What gets your creative juices flowing?

Listening to Celtic music. I’ve often stated that music is my muse. I have a huge collection of instrumental music on my computer. It fuels the emotions. The only time I don’t listen to music is when I’m doing edits from my editor. I need total concentration.

Do you have a favorite snack that you like to munch on while writing?

Yes! Dark chocolate and almonds.

Do you have a hobby? 

Gardening and baking. My garden helps to center me and being in the kitchen enables me to create something delicious.

Do you read your reviews on your books? Do they influence your story at all?

I always read my reviews, and no, they don’t influence me. They’re opinions, regardless if they’re good or bad reviews.     

What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?

Before I begin to write, I take three deep cleansing breaths. It’s my own “quirk” for centering me into the story. It forces out all the distractions.

Do you have another profession besides writing?

No.

If you could go back in time, where would you go?

The great Irish King, Brian Boru (941-1014) in Ireland. Brian led the Irish to the peak of their Golden Age—from poetry, arts, saints, and scholars. A remarkable man.

What’s the one thing you would do if you could be your character for a day?

Time-travel to the past.

Will there be more books in your series, or can you tell us about any previous books?

There will be two more books in the Legends of the Fenian Warriors. Next is Rory’s brother, Liam MacGregor. Recently, I turned in Liam’s story, TRIAL OF A WARRIOR to my editor. I’m now working on the fourth book, DESTINY OF A WARRIOR, and the hero is Aidan Kerrigan.

What is your favorite part of this book and why?

Ahh…there are several, but one was that Erina was different. Especially in 17th century Scotland. She concocted love charms and was a healer. Yet, she never saw herself as a witch. Sadly, even in this century, we tend to look at others who don’t walk the same path in society as the majority of us as odd. I believe we are all unique and beautiful.

Thank you, Mary.

Blurb:

“You met them in the Order of the Dragon Knights. Now, journey to the realm of the Fae and witness their legends!”

Fenian Warrior, Rory MacGregor’s love conquests are legendary, but he has never spoken of the one mortal female who captured his heart. After his dark secret is finally revealed, he is ordered to return and seal the wounds left open by her death. Yet, he finds the timeline altered and swears an oath to rewrite fate, even if it brings about his own death.

Erina MacIntyre is known for her healing herbs and love charms. Determined to aid others, she refuses to listen to the whispers that call her a witch. When a Highlander steps forth into her path, he ignites a thread of strange familiarity and sparks a flame of desire she is unable to control.

Can the destiny of two lovers find love once more among the ashes of death and betrayal? Or will history repeat itself, leaving a scorching path of destruction for both mortals and Fae alike?

Excerpt:

“Erina, mo ghrá,” he groaned, taking her mouth with savage intensity. She tasted of honey and spices, filling him completely and easing the torment that continually plagued him.

Breaking free, he placed his hands on either side of the door. Giving her all of him required something more from Erina. Without the assurance of accepting him for what he was, Rory would be a lost man.

“Are ye certain ye want to ken all of me? I want ye as sure as the sun rises and sets over the land each day, but ken this, Erina—there is more to me than a simple bedding. There are things about me that might frighten ye. What I’m about to share with ye may cause ye to question my existence, or worse, my sanity.”

Her laugh was seductive and soothing as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “From the moment ye stepped through those trees that first day, I realized ye were not like any man I had encountered. It was as if the trees parted and ye came forth from inside them.” She brushed her fingers along his brow. “For one, ye have the most mesmerizing eyes and they shift colors.”

“And the second?”

Her face turned a rosy glow, yet, she held his gaze. “I thought your body chiseled from the old Gods, especially with all the markings on your back and arms.”

His gaze swept over hers. “I am nae God, Erina, though some would call me a demon.”

She traced a finger down along his arm and shook her head. “Ye are not a monster, but I am nae fool. Ye are not like other men, Rory. I have seen the markings on your body elsewhere.” Her finger curved around his shoulder and he trembled. “They are similar to the ones on the standing stones carved by the ancients.”

Rory fought the tide of emotions sweeping through him. She had come to the conclusion all on her own. “And ye would not flee if I told ye I was one of those ancients? One where the bards wove tales of giants who lived thousands of years ago among your own people? Others would call the story incredulous and filled with heathen words.” He held his breath, fearing her reply.

The smile she gave him speared straight to his soul. “Nae. I would not flee.”

 ORDER OF THE DRAGON KNIGHTS

  Order of the Dragon Knights: The Complete Series - A Digital Boxed Edition by [Morgan, Mary]

Dare to journey with the Dragon Knights of Scotland!

They were an ancient order descended from the great Tuatha De Danann, a tribe from the Goddess Danu. Half human and half fae, each blessed with mystical powers. They were also given holy relics and guardianship over the dragons.

With the dawn of Christianity, the dragons were systematically hunted down and slain leaving only one. The Dragon Knights took her from Ireland to a land across the sea, settling in the Great Glen near Urquhart. The clan was known as the MacKay clan, descendants from the MacAoidh.

Yet, there were those who deemed the Order had too much power, and they tried to possess it for themselves. They were evil and twisted, and their plan succeeded one fateful night.

The Clan MacKay is no longer.

The Dragon Knights are scattered across the land.

Yet out of the darkness, they will each fight for redemption, and the women they love.
