Colorado, 1880

          When East End London meets 

the Wild West, sparks fly.

   Kicked out of England for offending the Royal Family, Britania Rule heads for Leadville, in the Colorado backcountry. Passing herself off as a highborn lady, she pursues her dream of opening a parlor of spiritual enlightenment. 

 Cody James, her guide, thinks he must be half-crazy to hire-out to a female. But his luck at the gaming tables has run dry, and she’s his meal-ticket out of town. Betrayed by the only woman he ever loved, and shot and left for dead by a man he once called friend, Cody declares himself a loner. 

   Traveling side by side, they deny their desire for one another, but the Tarot cards say otherwise—and their hot night of passion confirms the prediction. Will love be waiting at the end of the trail? Or could Cody’s past destroy their future?   

Why not soak up some sun while listening to A Cowboy's Fate.  There's romance and intrigue in the Colorado Rockies in this     winner of the Maple Leaf Award for judges favorite!

                   

A COWBOY’S FATE 5 stars/ from Darlene @ Between the Pages/Still Moments Magazine 

    A fun and entertaining story with a picturesque setting. You’ll bounce around the wagon with the charming main characters as they travel the bumpy terrain. Romance, drama, and adventure rolled into one. I was disappointed when the story ended because I wanted the journey to continue. A must read.

Clover City, Colorado—1888
A mysterious letter and the drop-dead handsome town marshal, are the last things Mariah expects to find making rounds as a midwife. 
Mariah McAllister plans to be married before her next birthday. Too bad Marshal Virgil Kincaid barely knows she’s alive. Not one to give up easily, she’s determined to show him she has an abiding passion for more than her work.
Virgil Kincaid loved a woman once—after she broke his heart, he spent three years in prison. Women can’t be trusted, no matter how good they look. He’s sworn off relationships in favor of Saturday night poker games. Life is simple—the way he wants it…until a stranger turns up dead in the road. 
Forced to work side by side with Mariah, Virgil begins to wonder if she might be his second chance at love. As they trade kisses and oh so much more, he’s willing to take the gamble. But when a killer threatens their once peaceful town, all bets are off.

Each piece of pottery she makes is unique in that she picked each flower from a certain region, trail, or town in Colorado.

Mary Morgan's book sale and celebration of the 10 year anniversary of her first contract!

             Dragon Knight's Sword.

                  99 cents until June 2nd

   Duncan Mackay will do anything to lift the curse from his family -- even forfeit his own life. But his plans change when he encounters the woman from his dreams, literally. She is from the future, somehow has his lost sword, and can talk to the Dragon that is able to lift his family's curse. 

Brigid O'Neill has spent her life listening to the mythological legends from Ireland and Scotland. When an ancient sword lands on her doorstep, she starts dreaming of a rugged Highlander and takes on a quest that will alter everything she believes.

Before their journey ends, not only will Duncan and Brigid battle an ancient curse, but they must also find the courage to believe in the destiny that brought them together.

                               

                 Welcome Mary                       

                             Thank you for visiting the farmlette.

    I know you enjoy all things Scottish, including scones and a drop of the spirits, but I thought today you might like to try a local treat. 

   We have warm fry bread with honey, and Mountain Man stump-blower. I think your Scottish heroes would approve of this libation, it will definitely put a pleat in your kilt!  

   Congratulations on celebrating the tenth anniversary of signing your very first contract. How exciting. Can you believe it has been that long?

    Hello Gini! I’m a wee bit stunned it’s been ten years since I signed that first contract. What an adventure this journey has taken me on—from epic highs to even a few bumpy turns along the way. Yet I have no regrets.  I got the contract after several rewrites, hahaha! on an afternoon in May of 2013. 

  Do animals play a part in Dragon Knight's Sword, or in any of your other literary works? 

    Gini, I adore animals as secondary characters! In each of my stories, I have an animal or two throughout. I couldn’t imagine not placing a special fur or feathered friend within the story. They truly add depth, and a laugh or two. 

  With Dragon Knight’s Sword, Duncan MacKay’s horse was a close confidant named Brandubh. And a young lass, Nell, kept a shelter for her family of stray, injured animals—from cats, an owl, a rabbit, and a dog.

Did you grow up with any animals, Mary? 

   Absolutely! I grew up with dogs and several cats. My earliest recollection of my first pet was at four years old. I remember the day our “Corky” pup was born. His mom belonged to another family, but she decided to give birth in our kitchen. I was eating breakfast and looked over to see this small blond fluff of fur coming into the world. A treasured memory.  

   What a heartwarming first recollection, and such a special bond with your puppy. If you had unlimited space (and a ranch-hand to help with the chores and feeding) with what animals would you surround yourself? 

   Sheep! Of course, there would be dogs, a stray cat, and I might have a cow. Oh! And horses, too!

What are you working on now, and anything else you would like to add?

   I’ve recently wrapped up the third book in The Wolves of Clan Sutherland series: Steinar. I’m already researching the fourth book, which readers will find out the identity when they read Steinar’s story. In addition, I have future books planned for the Dragon Knights. I’m not finished telling their tales. 

 I'm sure your fans are excited to hear there will be more Dragon Knights coming their way. Mary, your dedication to, and enthusiasm for writing is an inspiration. Thank you so much for all your great stories and for spending time with me. 

   Thank you, Gini! I so enjoyed visiting you today. Now, let’s go visit all your wonderful animals. 

         Yes, grab your boots and hat. The goats and donkeys are anxious to meet you too.

Colorado Tartan Day fun. 2023

              

    National Tartan Day was created to celebrate Scottish history and the achievements of people of Scottish descent around the world. 

                    

      The Declaration o' Aiberbrothock: A letter, dated 6 April 1320 was signed at Arbroath, written by Scottish barons and addressed to Pope John XXII. 

   Steeped in turmoil and political intrigue the declaration was part of a broader campaign for independence from England's Norman kings and a plea to lift the excommunication of Robert The Bruce.

  

   Every April, at the Boulder County Fairgrounds, in Longmont Colorado celebrates Tartan Day. This year the weather could not have been better, warm with NO WIND (which played havoc with the tents last year). 

  The reenactors were so friendly and very knowledgeable regarding the various clans and displays. 

The armaments' were wonderful to look at up close, and there was also a weaving and spinning demonstration  

                 

              

           

I saw a faery, but she scurried away, look at her beautiful wings. 

Had a delightful time, and the piper gave us a tune as we bid farewell to another fun experience at 

Tartan Day.  

                  

5 Stars for Trickster by Darlene Fredette

 

Available here...

     Trickster is included in the Mortar & Pestle series which is penned by various authors. However the story is set in Redford Falls so fans of that series will enjoy this fun read as well. There is a delightful touch of myth and magic and the Redford Falls rabbit also makes an appearance.

   This well thought-out story has believable and relatable characters and the pacing keeps the story moving. The relationship between Jade and Eric is a beautiful reminder of all those exciting feelings that are so special and unique when meeting and being with someone for the first time. 

  As with all of Darlene Fredette's books, I enjoyed this one and recommend Trickster and all her books for a satisfying read that will leave you smiling. 

                       Available here...

                                  

   Blurb:

    Working for a top modeling agency is Jade Parsons’s dream job, until her boss suffers a heart attack, and his son temporarily fills his position. Eric’s push-pull approach fuels her frustration. While anticipating the troublemaker’s imminent departure, Jade’s destiny is revealed through a magical mortar and pestle, leaving her heart tormented by whispers of a different fate. 

  World-renowned photographer Eric Martini returns home to restore his relationship with his estranged father, but wounds from the past haunt him. Enchanted by his father’s feisty assistant, he masks his heart and refuses to give into desire. Convinced his destined future is already written in the stars—and doesn’t include Jade, Eric’s only choice is to walk away.
   Will Jade and Eric find the courage to trust the mythical and smoky signs before their paths are severed forever?
