Romancing The Eras: April 2014
http://romancingtheeras.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 6, 2014. There's just something wonderful about getting a new book published that leaves one feeling a little bit stunned, amazed and gratified, in equal parts. So before we settle down and move on to the next projects, we want to share tidbits from our newly released works (and, in Lane's case, a teaser from her Work-In-Progress). We hope you enjoy these excerpts! Beppie Harrison - The Divided Heart. Ireland. Summer, 1810. She was not quite ready to call out. Was he Irish then? Anne’...

Romancing The Eras: What You May Not Know About Vikings!
http://romancingtheeras.blogspot.com/2014/08/what-you-may-not-know-about-vikings.html
Monday, August 4, 2014. What You May Not Know About Vikings! In an earlier release, Rose of Hope. Set in post-Conquest England, I feature a scene set in a fictional Viking village on the Essex coast that I called "Ljotness", founded two centuries earlier by a Viking jarl. In my newest release, Viking Sword: A Fall of Yellow Fire - The Stranded One. The hero and his family live in Ljotness (his father is the one who took the town from its Anglo-Saxon thegn). Even though Rose of Hope. Because love was cons...

Romancing The Eras: July 2013

Monday, July 1, 2013. Màiri's Musings From the Sunroom - My Tutor, the Cardinal. Living in the country has some wonderful advantages to the city. It's quiet. Private. Tranquil. We get more visitors than we do in town. Of course, they're more often of the feathered, scaled, four-footed and eight-legged kind, but who's complaining? I find them wonderful (except when the red-bellied water snakes and blue herons eat the fish in the pond). But I feel like they do), in our backyard ‘playground’. They were voca...

Romancing The Eras: October 2013
http://romancingtheeras.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 1, 2013. Slipping, sliding and maneuvering among them is a frustrating, maddening, exhausting experience. Yet now I've done it, I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. I'm glad I didn't let the boulders stop me in my tracks. It was worth all the effort to achieve the goal. Having said all that, may I introduce you to the product of that journey among the boulders?

Romancing The Eras: Medieval Valentines?
http://romancingtheeras.blogspot.com/2015/02/medieval-valentines.html
Saturday, February 14, 2015. Valentine’s Day is here. Time for flowers, candy, send cards to celebrate the day traditionally set aside for love. But was Valentine's Day celebrated in the Middle Ages? When did that tradition start? St Valentine of Terni and his disciples. I wish I could give you a summarized, sanitized, glamourized answer, but I love accuracy too much to do so. The answer is—unclear. . One story says a priest named Valentine helped Christians escape Roman persecution. Still. Some report...

Romancing The Eras: March 2014
http://romancingtheeras.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 3, 2014. I generally take the way I write more or less for granted, but it’s always fun to think about things you take for granted. Chris Green at. Http:/ crystal-green.blogspot.com/. Invited me to take part in a progressive blog talking about just that: what my writing process is! What am I working on now? Right now I am working on the second book of my Irish trilogy that takes place during the Regency period, The Broken Heart. But romance is still involved . . . Why do I write what I do?

Romancing The Eras: May 2013
http://romancingtheeras.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 20, 2013. A Love Affair with a Place by Beppie Harrison. Home is easy to love. It’s home, known and familiar. Usually coming home brings a little sigh of relief. Your feet know the shape of the steps. Shabby or neat as a pin, its warmth wraps around you. So how is it that sometimes we go to someplace entirely new, completely alien, and foreign, and from the first time our feet step onto the ground we feel we belong there? Is not home, but in some inexplicable way this is your place, too.
