Kira, Daughter of the Moon

Today, I'd like to introduce you to Beth Trissel, author of historical romance.

Beth is married to her high school sweetheart and lives on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, where she is surrounded by her children, grandbabies and assorted animals. As an avid gardener, her love of herbs and heirloom plants figures into her work.

The rich history of Virginia, the Native Americans and the people who journeyed there from far beyond are at the heart of her inspiration. In addtion to American settings, she also writes historical and time travel romances set in the British Isles.

Rignt now, Beth is doing a Super Book Blast Tour organised by Goddess Fish Promotions, to promote her novel Kira, Daughter of the Moon.

What is this novel about? Logan Mc Cutcheon returns to colonial Virginia after seven years in the hands of Shawnee Indians. But was he really a captive, as everybody thinks? He looks and fights like a warrior and seems eager to return to those he calls his friends and family.

Kira McClure has waited for Logan all those years, passing herself off as odd to keep suitors at bay - and anyone else from getting too close. Now that Logan is back, he seems to be the only person capable of protecting her from the advances of Josiah Campbell and the accusations of witchcraft. And to defend the settlers against a well-organised band of murderous thieves.

Here's an excerpt of the novel:

He threw back his head and laughed.

Disconcerting. Most people simply stared at her or shook their heads when she acted peculiar, not this undisguised mirth. “I can’t imagine why you’re taking on like this.”

 “No?” He succumbed to another paroxysm of laughter. “I must admit you’re good.”

 A lift of her chin. “At what, pray tell?”

 “Play acting.”

 Stiffening her reply, she said, “I haven’t the faintest notion what you mean.”

 He wiped his eyes on the wide sleeve of his loosely belted shirt. “Haven’t you, now?”

 Her eyes strayed to his browned chest where the earth-colored cloth gapped open at his neck. “Not at all.”

 “If you truly wish me to think you tetched, dim the brightness in your gaze. Try for a more vacant expression.”

 “I can manage quite well without direction from you. “ She hesitated. “I mean––”

 "I know what you mean. I see you’re quite the actress.”

 Shifting her gaze from the intensity in his expression to the swaying branches, she asked, “How so?”

 “I could always see right through you.”

 An odd flop in her stomach and she slid her gaze back to his penetrating eyes. “Always? “

 “Don’t you know me, Cricket?”

 “Good heavens,” she breathed out, and leaned weakly against the tree. She could have toppled to the forest floor. Only two people had ever called her by that name and this definitely wasn’t her brother. The teasing youth she’d adored had returned a man in warrior’s clothing, hardened now, tested by wind and fire. “Logan? “
