Lovely nineteen-year-old Lady Sibylla Cavers is
marriageable, yet she has rejected the first three
candidates her father has introduced. Lord Simon Murray
(appearing in the first two novels of this Borders Trilogy)
is one of these three spurned suitors -- and Simon is
famous for never forgiving an offense. One day when Sibylla
is out riding, she sees a child drowning and guides her
horse into a raging river to save the child. But the
powerful current sweeps her up with the child in her grip.
Lord Simon, riding nearby, hears screams and heroically
helps Lady Sibylla rescue the child. To her surprise, Lady
Sibylla feels a powerful attraction to her rescuer. Lord
Simon, surprised to feel the same strong attraction, is
tempted to forgive her earlier rejection so that he may woo
this lass anew. But political intrigue fueled by the power-
hungry governor of Scotland will throw obstacles in the
path of Simon's and Sibylla's burgeoning love. Simon will
fight for his inherited estate of Elishaw, while Sibylla
will use all her wits to protect their future together.
Amanda, great post! I love reading where authors get their ideas from. I am real big into historicals, they are my favorite read. I love reading the history behind them. You series sounds wonderful! (Gail Hurt 11:58am February 25, 2009)
Hi, folks! Always great to meet readers who enjoy history. I feel the same way about it that Sara does, in that I no sooner read some interesting bit than my imagination goes into full swing. When I was writing Regencies, I read a bit in an early 19th century edition of the London Times about a little girl who had been frightened by a witch while walking in woods near her home. That one developed into a whole book. On the other hand, when readers ask me where I get my ideas, I'm often tempted to use Stephen King's favorite reply: Cleveland.

I liked your blog. HR is my #1 fav genre. I really like when the true time history is included - I learn new things that way. I have several of your books in my TBR and now having read this bit I will go get to reading them! (Martha Eskuchen 5:43pm February 25, 2009)
Thanks, Martha! I hope you and Gail and Sara all take a look at the Border trilogy. I have a thing about getting the history right and making the characters fit their time and place, then weaving it together so the reader feels as if he or she is there. I always welcome comments, even complaints. There is an email link on my website, and I love hearing from readers. Also, if anyone is interested in receiving cover-art postcard announcements of my future books, just let me know. The mailing list is my own, and I print the labels, so you won't get a bunch of junk mail. The publisher is thinking of changing to e-postcards, so if you have any comments on that, I'd like to hear them. (Amanda Scott 6:10pm February 25, 2009)
