Countdown to Cathy Maxwell's THE SCOTTISH WITCH


I am eagerly anticipating the October 30th release of Cathy Maxwell's THE SCOTTISH WITCH from Avon in print (at this link) and ebook (at this link):

When a Chattan male falls in love, strike his heart with fire from above . . .

Portia Maclean believes she is beyond love and marriage. Then one moonlit night, while attempting a daring masquerade in a desperate bid to protect her family, she finds herself swept off her feet by a powerful stranger. But what will he do once he discovers she has betrayed him?

Harry Chattan is fighting for his family. For two hundred years the Chattan men have been destroyed by love . . . and now he's come to Scotland on the hunt for a witch to break the curse. Instead he finds himself bewitched by Portia. Harry has vowed to fight the demons that torture him.

As backup, I have the Hula Girls chanting for Harry.

It is Book Two in the Chattan Curse and I have been waiting for Harry to come out and play!  To make sure you are prepared, I am giving away Book 1, LYON'S BRIDE, to one randomly selected commenter.  To enter the giveaway,

  1. I do have a favorite costume to dress up in. It's a Medieval Dress (a replica) and I will dress up in it again for Halloween.

    Please don't enter me into the contest, as I've already read Lyon's Bride.

  3. What a great give-away!

    Last year was the first time in 19 years that I dressed up for a Halloween party. I went as Little Red Riding Hood :) It was soo much fun to dress up. I love dressing up my children for Halloween. My oldest daughter, she's almost 12, went as Dorothy and she even had the red ruby slippers!!

    This year my husband and I are thinking about dressing up as Amy and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory for a Halloween party!

  6. I would like to dress up in any of the fancy dresses in historical times. Maybe a Victorian dress. I always like the intricate details of the masks.

  8. I've only dressed up for Halloween and usually it's a witch. I use to have long dark hair with a large white streak which was perfect. Now it's grey and that works too lol.

  12. One year my husband and I went to a Halloween party dressed as Merlin and Guenivere. Yes Merlin. He refused to go as Arthur or Lancelot like I wanted so we compromised. We made the costumes his was long and flowing dark blue with gold stars and moons and mine was a dark blue gown with with gold accents. We had a ball.

  25. I've never been to a masquerade and so I don't have any costumes, let alone a favourite one. I guess any costume would do as I'd imagine they would all be elegant and great fun :)

  26. Lots of great books are being released on the 30th. If only Walmart would put them out on time and carry them. They have a small selection and I so miss borders. Cathy's book looks good.
