But he also has other, secret powers—those of a Guardian, humans with mystical abilities to control nature’s forces and see into the hearts of others. From the moment he encounters Gwyneth Owens, his fiery spirit is irrevocably drawn to claim her as his own—a passion that will not only set his loyalty to his land against his sworn Guardian vows, but will also threaten everything he cherishes most.

STOLEN MAGIC * Book #2 * Ballantine/Del Rey Historical Romance



Simon Malmain is well known among the Guardians. Well known, but not always well loved . . . for those who enforce the law are rarely embraced by those whom they protect--and this is equally true whether the law is magical or mundane.


A need for each other’s magic binds Simon to Meg. Together they must fight the rogue mage, Lord Drayton. For Drayton has a diabolical plan that will profoundly alter the course of Britain’s future. Even the combined power of Simon and Meg may not be enough to stave off catastrophe. Only a desperate act of love may win back the future--or destroy all they hold dear.

Testing, testing...

Okay, this is my first attempt to post a blog that acts as an "Extras" page for my website. I'd like to get this up and running because I'm going to the lands Down Under in--Urk!--four days, and I'd like to do some posts on what I'm up to in Australia and New Zealand.

I've been blogging for three years as part of the Word Wenches historical romance writers' blog, but that's on Typepad. Let's see if Blogger is as simple as people say....
