Bio:

I spent twenty years helping my grandfather, a retired British Historian, sort, restore and rewrite the history of our family in Scotland and England. That is where I came across the basis for my historical novel set in the year before the rising of William Wallace. I was working on pages for the history of my family in the late 1200s, and thought it a perfect story for a marvelous historical romance. I was raised living part of the year in Britain, the rest in Kentucky. Receiving my education on both sides of the Pond gives me a unique perspective into both countries. I am a reviewer on staff at Paranormal Romance Reviews and hostess on their social group The Haunt; The Best Reviews, Sensual Romance Reviews and Rambles, a Celtic e-magazine. I was Reviewers International Organization Award of Excellence Chair and Assistant Editor of their monthly newsletter (2002-2005). I am a member of: RWA (Romance Writers of America); Former Editor of Hearts Through History's Newsletter - The Bard Scroll, and 2nd Vice President of HHRW (2003-2005);and History Fiction Writers Society of Britain.

I also design book covers. Hostess of The Haunt @ PNR.

Review Quotes for The Invasion of Falgannon Isle

From Booklist
Although the book is set in the present, Falgannon Isle, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, seems timeless. B. A. Montgomerie is the Lady of the Isle, making sure that everyone is employed. Her current plan is to use her Web site to import prospective wives for the men on the island, since, thanks to an ancient curse, the population remains primarily male. The men are all for it, and when Desmond Mershan shows up, he seems the answer to their troubles. Although Desmond is there to talk about building a resort, he has a hidden agenda, which involves ruining the Montgomeries, as B. A.'s grandfather ruined his family. But all the islanders perceive is that Desmond is Irish, with black hair and green eyes, just like the man fabled to come and end the island's curse by marrying the Lady of the Isle. What makes MacGillivray's romance so special are the eccentric characters, right down to the cat, and Desmond and B.A.'s growing relationship. ~Maria Hatton

Lynsay Sands - New York Times Bestselling Author
"A charming, quirky cast and a great read!"

Tori Carrington - Nationally Bestselling Author
"Mesmerizing and magical. You won’t want to leave..."

Romantic Times
This is an entertaining, humorous and heartwarming tale of love, friendship and a bit of magic. The hero's struggle to make peace with his past and the heroine's determination to help him are nicely depicted. The secondary characters are great fun, especially The Cat Dudley, and the peek into the lives of the main character's siblings whets the appetite for their stories. ----Susan Mobley
