I\u2019m a big fan of <strong>The Season<\/strong>, and was thrilled that Cormac was voted <strong>To Die For<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>My Clan MacAlpin series follows a family of orphans in the 1660s, after the Civil Wars have ravaged Scotland. These devilish Highlanders run wild, without parents or other family, steeped in secrets and tragedy, claiming castle ruins as their home. Think Party of Five with claymores.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>DEVIL&#8217;S HIGHLANDER<\/strong><\/span> is Cormac MacAlpin\u2019s story. He and Marjorie were ten\u2014the best of friends and only just beginning to wonder at the fascination each felt for the other\u2014when, because of a childish prank, Cormac\u2019s twin Aidan was kidnapped. Blaming themselves, their friendship was shattered.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, another boy is taken, and Marjorie begs help from the only man she knows who\u2019ll understand: Cormac. Now a war hero, Cormac treasures his solitude and wants nothing to do with an incident that can only bring fresh pain. But he and Marjorie find they are still drawn to each other, only this time they\u2019re adults, with needs too powerful to deny.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nWhat do you find appealing about writing about Scottish Highlanders and that time in Great Britain\u2019s history?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nThe stakes were high, tremendous courage was demanded of both men and women, and unfathomable personal sacrifice was the order of the day.

I do have a funny one about my serendipitous road to publishing, though. Back in 2006, I found out about a \u201cPitchapalooza\u201d being held at the San Francisco main library. Brainchild of Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, authors of Putting Your Passion into Print, the Pitchapalooza gave anyone off the street sixty seconds to pitch their book to a panel of publishing professionals.<\/p>\n<p>I was a stay-at-home mom with two tiny preschoolers, but thanks to my husband\u2019s encouragement, I went MacGyver on my closet and cobbled together some relatively presentable, unstained \u201cadult\u201d clothes and headed downtown. I pitched my book, then followed up with an email to Arielle, who is an agent. She forwarded my email to her colleague Stephanie Rostan at Levine Greenberg, who happened to be a fan of Scottish time travel. Steph is a wonderful agent, and everything moved quickly from there. It was a great bit of good fortune, and I\u2019m thankful the stars aligned as they did.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nOctober 2011 will see the release of your new YA series, which you state as being pitched as La Femme Nikita meets Mean Girls.

The series is called \u201c<em>The Watchers<\/em>.\u201d Girls who are outcasts from society (like gang girls, runaways, etc.) find themselves seduced onto a bleak and faraway isle where they undergo rigorous training, studying everything from languages, to computer hacking, to ballroom dancing, to the tidiest way to kill an armed attacker. Only the best survive to become Watchers, an elite group acting as emissaries, guards, agents, and sometimes assassins for an ancient coven of vampires.<\/p>\n<p>Each book will be told in the point of view of a very kick-ass, very smart young woman named Annelise Drew. The first installment, <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>ISLE OF NIGHT<\/strong><\/span>, hits shelves in the Fall 2011, and I can\u2019t wait.
