Between the Pages

Hi

I'm in the process of writing a prequel to the Harrow Series. If you haven't caught up with what that's about, it traces the lives and loves of a wiccan community who live in the village of Harrow in the Adelaide Hills. On the surface, it's a small country village like many others--located in a picturesque setting on the banks of the Fyfe River and favoured by weekend tourists and day-trippers looking for good food, good wine, and pleasant experience.

Some of the people who live there have abilities not found elsewhere, or are able to transform into different shapes. They revere the world around them. and commune with the deities who influence their daily lives. That doesn't mean life always runs smoothly, and issues arise that create challenges for the main characters and those they love.

The prequel will initially be published in an anthology, but will later be released separately as part of this series. It tells the backstory of the community, and introduces some of the characters. It's in draft form now, and the male lead is named Caelen. I've decided to change this, but to what? Suggestions have been:

• Tristan
• Rhodri
• Logan
• James
• Ewan
• Thomas
• Hayden
• Kieran

Clear as a Bell

by Emily Hussey

What price self-sacrifice?

When Miranda Montgomery convinced Hugh Paterson to award her company the hospital contract, she didn’t envision the sacrifice it would entail. Her company’s survival depends upon it. A pity he’s such a misogynist jerk. She can give as good as she gets, but has to play the game if she’s going to keep him onside.

Working in close proximity was unavoidable, and Miranda was surprised to discover the creative side of his personality. Not quite as surprised as discovering the hot body and passion beneath that business suit. It was a lust equally matched by hers.

The attraction between them sizzles, but office romances are bad news. It’s already apparent others would sabotage her business if they could, and Miranda must use her wits to survive.

For the sake of her employees, she has to put the contract first. After all – she and Hugh can pick up where they left off when the contract is finished. At least, that’s what she thought. She never expected Hugh to leave her alone at Christmas.

Get it here.
