You will hate Him for all that he's taken, but you will love
Him. God help you, you will love Him.
Mary Devlin accepted her fate years ago, to serve
Slanaitheoir, the mountain spirit who saved her ancestors from the Irish
Famine. The hauntingly beautiful woman submitted to His every caress, His every
humiliation, but He’s gone too far by threatening her family.
Mary’s daughter-in-law is now an unwitting pawn in the
fickle spirit’s game. Mary must challenge her fate and that of all future
Devlin women, but Slanaitheoir is the most powerful being in the land. And when
part of her still yearns for His touch and love, how can she fight him and win?
SUMMER:
MY FAVORITE WRITING SEASON by Bernadette Walsh
I’ve broken out the white jeans,
the shorts, the sandals. I even survived the annual humiliation of bathing suit
shopping. Summer is officially here.
But in my writing, it always seems
to be summer. I’m working on my sixth book which is set in summer. The
oppressive heat of a Brooklyn summer has almost become an additional character
in this book in the sense that the buzz of the window air conditioners, the
steamy haze of a late afternoon sun impact my characters’ actions.
My Devlin Legacy books are set in
both New York and Ireland and for the most part the most active scenes occur in
summer. In Ireland, the summer sun is usually met with delight, since sun there
is often a scarce commodity. The sun provides relief from the oppressive
darkness that envelops Devil’s Mountain. In the New York scenes, the sun
is often seen as oppressive, tortuous. Orla, my transplanted Irish heroine in
Devil’s Shore, says the following about the New York sun:
Three weeks in and the sun hadn’t
stopped shining. “Not like home is it?” Declan must have announced at least one
hundred times a day. If he says it one more time I’ll drown him in the Great
South Bay.
She
then goes on to say: Jesus, I never thought I’d say it but the winter couldn’t
come fast enough for me. Surely then, the blasted sun would stop shining.
Like many Northeasterners, during
the long, cold lifeless winters I dream of summer. But when summer arrives,
we’re often drowning in humidity so it is truly a double-edged sword. Still,
summer is when I feel most alive, so it seems to be when the most pivotal
scenes occur for my characters.
About the Author
I have
always been a bookworm and had always meant to write a novel “someday.” You
know, when I won the lottery and could live in beach house and look out onto
the water and feel inspired. Four years ago I decided to stop waiting for my
winning lottery ticket and sat down and started writing in between work and
family obligations, I piled the words on top of each other until they formed
sentences, paragraphs, chapters and eventually a book.
My first book, a contemporary romance, Gold
Coast Wives, was published in November 2011. The House on Prospect is my second
novel. The first book of my paranormal trilogy, Devil’s Mountain -- Book One of
the Devlin Legacy, was published in June 2012. While I’ve hopped around genres,
all of my books to date have a common theme: strong women handling what life
throws at them the best way they can.
