What is the title of your latest release?
A SCOT FOR BETHAN, book 6 and last of the Welsh Rebels series.
What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?
Betrothed to a stranger at age 14, Bethan will have to wait seven years to meet her groom—only to fall for his uncle.
How did you decide where your book was going to take place?
Easy. Bethan is Welsh, Cameron is Scottish, so the book is set half in Wales and half in Scotland, as well as on the road between the two places.
Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life?
Absolutely! But I might try to get Cameron for myself…
What are three words that describe your protagonists?
Bethan is determined, full of hope and honest about what she feels. Cameron is protective, honourable and scorching hot!
What’s something you learned while writing this book?
A few words of Scottish Gaelic. I’m a lover of languages.
Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done?
A bit of both. I reread a lot, move things about constantly.
What’s your favorite foodie indulgence?
Cheese with crusty bread. Very French.
Describe your writing space/office!
I write in my living room, mostly on the sofa, or in my car, at work, in restaurants, anywhere really.
Who is an author you admire?
Many! Bertrice Small is a classic, Robin Schone, Kerrigan Byrne… I like people who have a unique voice and write what they feel is right for them.
Is there a book that changed your life?
I think White fang by Jack London was the one who first gave me the idea to write. I was 10.
Tell us about when you got “the call.” (when you found out your book was going to be published)/Or, for indie authors, when you decided to self-publish.
Funnily enough, my first contract offer was sent to spam and I only saw it in passing, almost deleting it. I was grateful for it, but it was only when I got a contract with Oliver Heber, my current publisher, that I felt I had unhooked the pompom as we say in French.(hit the jackpot).
What’s your favorite genre to read?
Medieval romance, which is what I write. No coincidences there…
What’s your favorite movie?
Perhaps Life is beautiful by Roberto Benigni. Such an incredibly moving film.
What is your favorite season?
Spring. Everything comes back to life!!
How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
With friends and family, good food and wine.
What’s a recent tv show/movie/book/podcast you highly recommend?
Hubby and I have been watching Wolf Hall recently. Very good.
What’s your favorite type of cuisine?
That’s hard, as I love all food. It’s a tossup between Indian, Moroccan, French, Italian, Mexican and Thai.
What do you do when you have free time?
Cooking, going horse riding, calligraphy, seeing my friends, yoga, reading.
What can readers expect from you next?
A new series, Sons of the Wolf, a spinoff of my Noble Norsemen. I can’t wait. STEINAR’S GIFT out in November. I hope you love him as much as Cwenthryth and I do.
Welsh Rebels #6
When her father agrees to marry her to his friend’s son, Bethan is appalled. Her betrothed is even younger than she is, a stranger—and Scottish. In the end it will take seven long years for her groom to finally send for her, and when he does, it will be too late. Her father is dead, she is no innocent maiden anymore, and determined to take her life into her own hands.
Cameron Campbell never aspired to be laird. Neither did he want to ride all the way to Wales to escort his nephew’s betrothed home for their long overdue wedding. And he especially didn’t plan to fall under the woman’s spell.
But fall he will. How will he reconcile duty and desire? How will he convince his heart to heed what his reason is telling him? The Welsh beauty is not for him…
Romance Historical [Oliver-Heber Books, On Sale: October 7, 2025, e-Book, / ]
Virginie thinks she became a writer the day she decided to write a (very bad, shamefully close to the real story) version of White Fang when aged nine or ten! As for the Middle Ages she fell in love with it at school during a history lesson, then Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood put its final seal on it all. A girl of twelve then, Virginie never recovered!
