Tis, the season, it\u2019s perfect, don\u2019t you think? What can be better than a hunky Highlander surrounded by snow, the Highlands, and the promise of love at Yuletide?<\/p>\n<p>When my publisher invited me to be part of this anthology, I only wrote erotic contemporaries for them under the pseudonym, <em><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sophierenwick.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sophie Renwick<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em>.

She also knew my parents were from Scotland. And that\u2019s how my novella <strong><em><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Yuletide Enchantment<\/span><\/em><\/strong> in <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sophierenwick.com\/annwynchronicles.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Highlander Christma<\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sophierenwick.com\/annwynchronicles.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">s<\/a><\/span><\/strong> came into being.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having never written a Scottish set historical, or a virile, strapping Highland hero, my editor felt that my background would pull through, and save the day! And boy did it ever!<\/p>\n<p>You see, my grandparents were married on Christmas Eve, during the fiercest fighting of WWll. My gran, who I adored, was instrumental in telling me all kinds of thrilling stories, from old Scottish fairy tales, to the heart warming story of how she first met my grandfather\u2014skating on a frozen pond with her sisters. They skated by, and he whistled. To which she gave a glare for the impertinence, and pretended offence, while secretly hoping he\u2019d do it again! That story always makes me smile, because my gran was a diminutive little thing. She was very prim and proper, and had a temper like a spit fire. But never with us. With us, she was the grandmother of dreams. I remember the contents of her purse consisted of nothing but Kleenex, lipstick, and sweeties\u2014which she gave to us, even when my mother said we had had enough. My grandfather on the other hand, was very charming, dark and handsome. He had a wild streak, which endeared so many people to him. His was the perfect foil to my grandmother. So, it is their story, in a way, that helped me to forge Isobel, and Daegan\u2019s characters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #8a1414;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sophierenwick.com\/annwynchronicles.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1132\" title=\"AHighlanderschristmas\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/AHighlanderschristmas.jpg?resize=212%2C320\" alt=\"AHighlanderschristmas\" width=\"212\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a>A Highlander Christmas <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #8a1414;\"><br \/>\nAuthors: <strong>Sophie Renwick<\/strong>,<br \/>\n<\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #8a1414;\">Dawn Halliday, Cindy Miles<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #8a1414;\"><br \/>\nPublisher: NAL Trade<br \/>\nPub.

I suppose there is nothing like Christmas to bring out the warm fuzzy memories of a time gone by. I always think of my grandparents on Christmas Eve, wondering what it was like to pledge your love to someone on that magical night (they were married in the evening!) I suppose this, more than anything, made me want Daegan and Isobel\u2019s love to flourish on Christmas Eve. And I\u2019m happy to say, that in the magical, enchanted grove in Annwyn, Daegan and Isobel were united in that perfect union of souls! I remember feeling an enormous amount of satisfaction, and dare I say&#8230;the warm fuzzies when I wrote The End.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What about you?
