Through dark magic, Californian Gwendolyn Godwyn has been swept back in time to medieval Italy.

Risking her life, Gwen elects to play a pivotal role in the planned rescue. In the midst of the chaos, she is drawn to the queen's champion, Lord Alberto Uzzo, who battles not only their military foes, but also his personal demons. Tested to the limit when he discovers Gwen's true identity as a time traveler, Alberto nevertheless fights through his doubt and the whirl of superstition that surrounds this intriguing and strong-willed woman. Time is of the essence as the lovers seek to defeat the evil forces rallying against the queen they've vowed to save. Will Gwen and Alberto be able to overcome the groundswell of danger to find time enough for love?

About the Author:

A chance meeting at a writers' conference brought Cary Morgan Frates and Deborah O'Neill Cordes together, two award-winning authors who connected because of a mutual love of time travel fiction. Collaboration ensued, the search for a pen name the first step in their working relationship. Their maiden names provided the solution - and "Morgan O'Neill" was born. 

Cary and Deborah's backgrounds are uniquely suited to writing stories steeped in atmosphere and history: Deborah has a Master's Degree in history and is a dedicated genealogist; Cary is a talented linguist in French and is currently a student of Latin. They've traveled to Europe's ancient and medieval sites many times, with Cary living on the Continent for five years. 

The Morgan O'Neill time travel novels have received a number of literary awards, including two finalist wins in the Booksellers' Best Awards, two semifinalist wins in the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition, first, second, and third place wins for the Mainstream Novel with Strong Romantic Elements category of the Golden Rose Contest, a top ten finalist award in the Pacific Northwest Writers' Conference Zola Awards Literary Contest, and a top ten finalist win in the Orange Rose Contest.

About the Book:

Californian Gwendolyn Godwyn seeks to learn her family’s history and hopes to restore the bond that once existed between her Italian forebearers and those who live in America. While visiting her ancestral Italian town, Gwen is caught in a violent earthquake and inexplicably thrust through time. 
At first refusing to believe what has happened, she nevertheless uses her wits to survive, donning a monk’s cowl to hide her identity as a woman. Ripped apart from all she has ever known, Gwen finds herself in the midst of brutal territorial battles in an era she once blithely called “The Dark Ages.” When the golden Italian summer of 951 emerges from the strife and gloom, Gwen joins forces with a cadre of gallant men, allies in the struggle against the evil nobles, Willa of Tuscany and Count Berengar, kidnappers of Italy’s rightful queen, Adelaide. Along with Father Warinus and Lord Alberto Uzzo, Gwen seeks to rescue Adelaide and restore her kingdom. In the midst of this great adventure, Gwen falls in love with the complex and passionate Alberto, to whom she reveals her identity as a woman. But can Alberto learn to love her strong and independent nature and help Gwen in her quest to discover her rightful place in time?

MRP would like to extend a very warm welcome to Sky Purington, author of Vow of the Highlander. Sky, to begin, can you tell us what inspired you to become a writer?

I’d have to say winning the Young Author’s award in elementary school first kicked off my interest in writing. Granted, quite a few years went by before I pursued a career as an author but the love was always there.

If you were to be left alone on an island, what three books would you take with you?

Probably any three by Christine Feehan.

What are your most and least favorite movie genres?

I love anything historical, fantasy, paranormal or romantic. I steer clear of Westerns.

If you could choose any man for your next book cover, who would he be?

Oh, probably Chris Hemsworth. He’d make a smokin’ hot highlander!

When you are on a deadline, what aspect of your ‘regular’ life suffers most?

Sleeping. *grins*

What advice would you give aspiring authors?

Never give up! Chances are you’ll get a rejection letter or two. Set it aside and send out more queries.

What advice would you give seasoned writers?

Almost the same advice I’d give an aspiring writer. We all know this business can at times be difficult. Take a breather if you need to but then keep on writing. Don’t give up.

When reading for pleasure, do you prefer a physical or electronic book?

Nowadays I’m all about electronic books mainly because of the convenience. In fact, I mostly read via my cell phone.

From the first stroke of a pen (or laptop), how long did it take you get published?

Because I had a baby, a few years went by between starting my first novel and becoming published. I started my MacLomain Series in December of 2004 and published it in May of 2007.

Did you ever feel like calling it quits?

Yup! But I never did.

What did you do when you got your first contract?

Totally celebrated! What an amazing day. J

Thanks so much for hosting me!
