I have a special guest today. Selena Illyria is here to talk about her Tartan Werewolf series. Her post prodded my curiosity and I decided to find out a little about tartan.
Here’s some tartan trivia:
1. Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours.
2. Tartan is associated with Scotland, although the earliest tartan dates back to the third or fourth century AD.
3. Until the late 19th century tartan was associated with a district or area rather than a clan.
4. Tartan became so identified with the Highland that after the battle of Cullodeon, the English forbade anyone to wear tartan. it was an attempt to quell the Scottish people.
And because Selena’s book is also about werewolves, I’m going to point you to two awesome posts written by Samhain author Jorrie Spencer about the wolves in Yellowstone National Park. The first post is here and the second is here.
Now over to Selena!
Howl With Me
Hi everyone! Thank You, so much Shelley for letting me takeover your blog again. *Grin*. In this guest blog we’re going to take a look at my upcoming release, Tartan Interlude. Iain and Katherine are back and this time love is in the air. Come with me for another trip in the world of the Tartan Werewolves.
Iain has come to realize that he has fallen love with his mate and must convince her that despite being with her for only a few months that his feelings are real. Katherine doesn’t think Iain could possible love her after only a few months. Can she resist him when he is determined to convince her?
Not only in this story do we revisit Katherine and Iain we also hear about other members of the pack. I love this story and am very excited to bring you yet another tale from that world. The Tartan Werewolves world is fun, sexy and wonderful to delve into. I can’t wait to introduce you to Robin, the Montgomery Twins: Lochlan and Rorick, Brody, Roarke, William and Kameron. *Grin* I hope you enjoy Tartan Interlude. Here’s a sneak peek. Hugs.
Tartan Interlude comes out Oct 10th at Changeling Press.
Are you ready to revisit the world of the Tartan Werewolves?
Unedited Excerpt:
He bent his head down and kissed her softly on the lips. It wasn’t enough. His tongue ran over the seam of her lips. Her mouth parted on a soft sigh and her tongue slipped out. At first it was a gentle exploration, the tips of both muscles poking each other before slipping and sliding over and against each other. Their heads rolled from side to side as his hand move south. The tips of fingers caressing her neck, over her shoulder and down her arm. Their fingers entwined for a brief second before he let go and took hold of her hip. Pulling her toward him, he slipped his arm around her. When he felt her body against his he couldn’t stop himself from grinding against her.
Her body moved against his, as his hips rocked forward and back imitating what he wanted to do at that very moment. His skin was too tight. He was slowly slipping into madness at the feel of his stomach clenching, his balls tightening against his body. The slow throb of his cock, straining against his pants and the bite of the zipper increased his arousal.
She gently scrapped her teeth against his bottom lip, sucking the plump flesh between her teeth. He groaned and tightened his hold. His hips pumped faster against her and she matched his rhythm grinding her body against his. Everything fell away for him. All he felt, all he knew was her.
