Welcome to the Great Hall...
...where the tidings of the day are shared.

• GUARDIAN, Book #2 in my trilogy of future-set fantasy romances featuring fallen angel heroes, is now available. Click on the cover to read the cover copy and an excerpt. Reviews for this series are on my blog - link to Alive & Knitting blog on the sidebar - choose the Angels category to bring up the relevant posts.

• If you've been waiting for the story of Rosamunde, so long lost to the realm of Faerie, you won't have to wait much longer. "The Ballad of Rosamunde" will be part of an anthology called THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF IRISH ROMANCE, to be released in January 2010. The ISBN# is in the Library - scroll down to the Novellas. The category on my blog called Historicals is the place to look for more details as they become available.

• As many of you know, I have an alter-ego - I'm writing my Dragonfire series as Deborah Cooke. These feature heroes who are dragon shape shifters.

• My entire backlist is listed in the Library here at the Château. There's a hotlink at the bottom of this page.

• I post to my blog Alive & Knitting most weekdays - this is where I post review quotes and other interesting tidbits. You can also sign up for my monthly newsletter, which is called Chestwick and administered through yahoogroups. Links are in the sidebar.

• There are lots of benches to pull up to the fire while you rest your weary feet (and wait to hear the latest tidings) and there will be many stories shared once the hour becomes late. Be careful what you believe within these walls, as things get a bit unpredictable in the Great Hall around the full moon. Chestwick brews a mean cup of mead so the wise are slow in emptying their cups.

Until next time, take care and happy reading—
