Woohoo!!! My crit buddy Calista Taylor is heading out on a new adventure. Under that name she's published an incredible steampunk craft book, 2 steampunk romances (Virdis & Devil on a Sparrow's Wing) and 2 grim reaper romances (JACK & For One Last Kiss).
Now, she branching out into the world of contemporary romance under the name Cali MacKay. Her first novel is called The Highlander's Hope and it's up for FREE!
Here's the blurb:
When Dr. Catriona Ross discovers clues to a long lost highland treasure, her
only hope of finding the jewels is to obtain the help of Scotland's most
eligible bachelor and playboy, Iain MacCraigh.
Iain can't believe his
luck when he finds out the jewels are hidden away somewhere on his land-- and it
doesn't hurt that the historian looking for them has curves to go with her
smarts. With his brother betting the family fortune, this is the life line he
desperately needs.
The odds are against them, and with word getting out
about the jewels, they're not the only ones on the hunt. Time's running out, but
can they learn to trust each other, or will they lose the jewels and true love
in the process?
Sounds great doesn't it? And I can totally vouch for it! A sexy highlander, a smart & courageous historian & an elusive treasure - all kinds of awesome!
Book 2 in this new series - A Highland Home - is also available - and only $2.99.
Rowan Campbell is desperate for answers. She’s lived her life without knowing a
thing about her father, her mother refused to speak of him, even on her
deathbed. With her cheating fiancé gone and no one else in her life, Rowan moves
to her mother’s hometown in Scotland, determined to find the father she’s never
known.
When Angus Macleod agrees to help a family friend move to Scotland
from the States, the last thing he expects is to fall hard for the fiery
redhead, who makes him rethink his bachelor ways. Looking for any excuse to
spend time with Rowan, he’s more than happy to help her find her father, even if
she’s skittish about committing to anything serious. But when Angus discovers
Rowan’s mother left Scotland pregnant and terrified, he wonders how dangerous
Rowan’s quest might be. Before long, Angus finds himself hindering rather than
helping, despite knowing his actions could ruin any chance he has for happiness.
With Rowan closing in on her father’s identity, will Angus be able to
keep her from harm? And will she ever forgive him for standing in her way?
So, pop off and try out Cali's latest stories - I hope you'll love them as much as I do!

For some reason, I encountered the word "steampunk" four times today. Most days go by without any usage of the word "steampunk"... wonder if it's a sign of sorts and if so, a sign of what?
Agnes - too funny! Steampunk does show up in bunches some days. Maybe your next job with involve somehting steampunky!! :)
