My Crazy Life as an Author by Collette Cameron

No Lady for the Lord Regency Romance
No Lady for the Lord

I never intended to be an author. I was an avid romance reader who thought maybe someday—in the far distant future—I might write a book someday. Certainly not fiction and assuredly not a romance novel. I could never master the dialogue. Or so I believed.

Fast forward eleven years and forty-eight published books since I typed that first fatal word and fell in love with writing. No one told me that every aspect of my life would become consumed with writing, dialogue, plotting, and a myriad of other minor details.

COLLETTE CAMERON

My mind is always working on my current work in progress, and quite often, musing about the next book or a new idea for a novel. Frequently, my most brilliant ideas occur in the shower. Yes, I have waterproof paper and a pencil on the shower wall.

If I’m stuck on a plot point, I just let my mind mull it over while I do something else, and inevitably, an answer presents itself. According to my family, “I have to finish this book” will be inscribed on my tombstone. Either that or, “I’m way behind in my writing.”

I keep a notepad in my purse, in my car, and with me on the sofa while I watch TV to jot ideas and record names of places and people. I have an entire journal dedicated to names I come upon. There’s no such thing as a vacation or day off for my mind. My muse never rests, and she’s a selfish creature. If she can’t relax, then neither can I.

On the one hand, that’s great. I am always coming up with new book ideas. On the other hand, it’s a pain in the rear-end. I can’t possibly write fast enough to ever write all of the story ideas I have.

To Seduce a
 Highland Scoundrel

My son shared an interesting fact while we were in Hawaii earlier this month, and I immediately began plotting how I could use it in one of my stories. That happens all of the time.

One drawback from having done all of the research I have for my Regency and Scottish Historicals is that it drives me batty to see a historical inaccuracy in a movie, TV show or series. My family doesn’t care about inaccuracies, and I’ve been told quite bluntly that I’m not allowed to share my wealth of knowledge.

I’m working on two books right now. LOVE LESSONS FOR A LADY is the 3rd book in my Daughters of Desire: Scandalous Ladies Series, and the other is an inspirational. I have ideas for several different genres too. Again, there are not enough hours in the day for me to write all of the books I want to.

I’ve slowed down a bit in the last year and am taking time to enjoy life outside of my author world. I don’t ever foresee myself not writing unless I become unable to, but I’ll have fifty books written and published by the end of 2021. I think I’m allowed a little slack.

My muse won’t agree.

I’d love to connect with you.

'Tis the Season to Be Wicked...by Collette Cameron

 As always, when researching for my stories, I learned several fun facts pertaining to Christmas in Scotland and England during the early 18th century. To begin with, Christmas and Yule weren’t openly celebrated in Scotland.
Late in the 16th century, St. Mungo’s Cathedral wished to abolish the pagan rituals associated with Yule (originally the Viking festival jól) and the Kirk threatened everyone with excommunication caught participating in Yule. In 1640, an Act of Parliament made Yule illegal, and the intolerance was taken a step further when an ordinance passed (supported by Oliver Cromwell) that banned the feast of Christmas as well. Several sources record that during that same time period, he also forbade the eating of pie.
Those are fighting words! I adore pie.

Though the ordinances and laws were repealed a few years later, the Kirk (Church) still frowned upon the celebration of Yule and Christmas. Hence, most Scots didn’t openly acknowledge the holiday until 1958. Another interesting tidbit I uncovered was that Christmas was outlawed in Boston, Massachusetts from 1659 to 1681.
My research regarding clove oranges also proved quite fascinating. Pomander balls date back to as early as the mid-thirteenth century. However, the clove orange gained popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries. I used to make them myself as a child.
To stay within the bounds of historical accuracy as much as possible, I researched the origins of sugar plums and gingerbread. First mentioned in literature in the 16th century, sugar plums are not sugar-coated plums but comfits. A comfit is a sort of sweet with a sugar shell around a center, often an almond.
I was delighted with what I learned about gingerbread. The very first recipe for gingerbread is attributed to the Greeks over two thousand years before the birth of Christ. A European version was developed by the late Middle Ages. However, lavish decorated gingerbread is attributed to Queen Elizabeth I. Those cookies were decorated with gold leaf.
Finally, in order to embellish the homes in my stories with holiday greenery and to allow the ladies to make kissing boughs, I needed to snoop around a bit to see precisely what types of greenery grew in the Highlands or Midlands in 1720. I was delighted to discover holly is a native plant to Scotland, and although mistletoe isn’t common, it can be found. Other greens such as pine boughs, rosemary, and ivy were all easily accessible to decorate with as well.
I’m tickled to share four holiday-themed books with you. Three are multi-author anthologies, and the fourth is my contribution to the second round of the Wicked Earls’ Club.

Earl of Scarborough,
The Honorable Rogues
(Wicked Earls’ Club)
’Tis the season to be wicked…
When a woman desperate for a job saves the life of an earl…both of their plans for the future are thwarted.

Setting the Stage for "Hunting Outlander"

One way to get to know a country is to read books set in that country from historical fiction, through historical romance and into contemporary times. Because Romancing The Genres is gearing up to host Hunting Outlander, a Facebook Event, we are taking a few days before the actual "hunt" begins to set the mood.

RTG's Outlander STARZ Hunting Outlander Facebook Event starts Tuesday, July 5th and ends Wednesday, July 13th. Winners will be announced Friday, July 15th. Details are available here.

In addition, you'll have the opportunity to share who your favorite Scottish Hottie is, including pictures.

Starting July 5 through July 10, two questions about Michelle Monkou's reviews of the STARZ network's second season of Outlander will be posted on the Event site. Links to the episode's review will be included.

The last question will be posted on July 11, the day of Michele's review of the last episode of Season Two. Again, you can read details here.

Today, however, is about setting the stage by talking about books set in Scotland.

In February 2015, Romancing The Genres Celebrated romance authors whose books were set in Scotland.

We were excited to host

Collette Cameron


 Amanda Forester


Claire Delacroix


Amanda Scott.

Genre-istas were also featured in the Windtree Press anthology, The Gifts of Christmas.

Maggie Lynch's "The Hogmaney Stranger" is a favorite from that collection.

By using the "search" feature on our blog (type in Scotland) you'll get eighteen or so posts that have something related to Scotland included. It could be about a trip to Scotland, a character who has Scottish ancestry or books set in that country.

This is in no way an exhaustive list!!!

Please add your favorite Scottish Romance author's name, favorite book set in Scotland, and if it is PG-13 or lower heat level, include a link to website.

Of course you can always go to your favorite e-book distributor and search for Scottish Romance or Scottish Historical Romance.

Tomorrow we continue our adventure in Scotland.

Pass That Book Along

Judith Ashley is the author of The Sacred Women's Circle series, romantic fiction that honors spiritual traditions that nurture the soul.

These days with digital books on e-readers it’s more difficult to share a favorite read with others. But with the upswing in e-readers and digital publishing more books are available at lower prices (usually) than paperbacks. 

Although I didn’t get much writing done in April (several blog posts for a couple of thousand words), I did get Lots of reading in. Here are my recommendations for great summer reads.

Courtney Pierce’sThe Executrix” entertained me on my flight to and from Arizona. Much easier for me to read ‘paper’ than digital on the plane. Having been an executor of an estate (or two) before, I will admit my challenges were different (brothers rather than sisters) and no mobsters or manuscripts. Ms. Pierce blends mystery and humor into an entertaining read. “Indigo Lake”, Book Two in this series is available now.

Vivienne Lorret’s The Wallflower series as well as her Rakes of Fallow Hall series kept me sitting in the chair with my feet up, sipping either tea or ice water (I was in Arizona at the time). Ms. Lorret’s characters came alive and I was especially pleased to see them reappear in each book of the series. Not just in a brief sentence or two mention somewhere along the way but as integral to the current story-line.

Christy Carlyle’s first two books in her Accidental Heirs series (One Scandalous Kiss, One Tempting Proposal) with Avon were also on my Kobo. (The third book in the series is now available). Having read Ms. Carlyle’s Whitechapel series as well as several of her short stories, I was familiar with her writing style. She did not disappoint. 

Another author I read on my trip was Diana McCollum. Her first novella, The Witch With The Trident Tattoo, continues the Coastal Coven series she started in the anthology Love and Magick. Ms. McCollum’s creativity shines in the book’s concept and characters. I will admit to loving James! Shoe fetish and all.

Also on my Kobo are several anthologies. I love to read anthologies if there is an author I know because I assure myself of at least one story I’d love. However, I’ve met several new-to-me authors. Both Collette Cameron and Bronwen Evans had stories in at least one of the anthologies I’ve read or am reading. Once Upon A True Love's Kiss and Passionate Promises.

Paty Jager is another author whose books I enjoy. I particularly loved her Spirit Trilogy because of the Nez Perce spirituality. I’ve also read her Halsey Brothers series as well as her mysteries. Isabella Mumphry and Shandra Higheagle stories are well-crafted with just the right amount of suspense for me.

Looking at the list of Genre-istas whose books I’ve enjoyed in the past, I don’t want to forget Margaret Tanner who writes Australian historical romance among other genres and M.L. (Matt) Buchman who writes contemporary romance. Matt’s post on his newest release “Flash of Fire” will certainly be on my Kobo soon!

And last but not least, check out my Sacred Women’s Circle series either on my website or my author page at Windtree Press.

You’ll find the Genre-istas sharing favorite books/authors during our 5th Blog-O-Versary this month. Hope you’ll share yours with us!

Types of Regency Romance

There Really are More Than One!
By Collette Cameron

When I started writing Regency Romances, I thought I knew what I was doing. Notice the emphasis on the word thought. Heck, I didn’t even realize that what defines the Regency Era is controversial.

The narrowest definition of the Regency Era is the period between 1811 and 1820 when the Prince of Whales ruled as Prince Regent because King George III’s madness made him unfit to rule. Some argue that Regency Romances must take place within this time frame and be set in England while adhering to the social norms, mannerisms, and values of the period.

A broader definition, often call the Extended Regency Era, was the period from 1777 or 1779, depending on the resource, and ending either with the death of King George IV in 1830 or the British Reform Act in 1932. Some claim it extended clear until Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837.  

You’ll note that one time frame is a mere nine years, while the other encompasses over four decades. Is one right and the other wrong? One more authentic or accurate?

A notice at the entrance to the Regency galleries in the National Portrait Gallery reads:
 “As a distinctive period in Britain’s social and cultural life, the Regency spanned the four decades from the start of the French Revolution in 1789 to the passing of Britain’s great Reform Act in 1832.”

Obviously, by this definition, the term encompasses a broader period than the near decade the regent ruled in proxy. However, the definition of Regency Romance extends beyond the feel of the Regency Era too.

In fact, there are five genres that fall within the scope of Regencies.

Classical Regency Fiction: Novels actually written during the nine-year Regency period. Jane Austen’s works fall into this category.

Modern Regency Fiction:  Stories written at a later time about the Regency period.

Traditional Regency Romances: These novels are “sweet” with no explicit sex and are usually set between 1800 and 1820. (Yes, that’s outside the official Regency Era).

Regency Historicals: The setting is in Regency England (or provinces controlled by England) but the prose, characters, and plot extends beyond the usual genre formula. Characters may behave according to modern values rather than Regency values.

Sensual Regency Historical: Often written as series, they contain explicit sex, some erotic in nature.

The difficulty Regency authors and readers encounter when writing novels or searching for stories to read, is that, often, there is no distinction between the latter four. Retailer categories are limited, and all types Regencies tend to be lumped together. That can lead to mixed reviews.

I’m curious if you agree with the five types of Regency Romances. Do you think there should be other types? Fewer?  How does a reader know the difference?
   
Bestselling, award-winning Historical Romance Author, Collette Cameron, pens Scottish and Regency Romances featuring rogues, rapscallions, rakes, and the intrepid damsels who reform them. Mother to three and self-proclaimed Cadbury chocoholic, she’s crazy about dachshunds, cobalt blue, and makes her home in Oregon with her husband and five mini-dachshunds. You'll always find animals, quirky—sometimes naughty—humor, and a dash of inspiration in her novels. Her motto for life? You can’t have too much chocolate, too many hugs, too many flowers, or too many books. She’s thinking about adding shoes to that list. To learn more about Collette and her books, visit collettecameron.com

The Gift of Christmas

THE GIFT OF CHRISTMAS
A book review by Collette Cameron

Collette Cameron
An eclectic assortment of twelve holiday stories, I spent two pleasant evenings reading The Gift of Christmas.

Rather like a box of chocolates or an assortment of Christmas cookies, each story offered a tantalizing taste of holiday spirit.

From Susie Slanina’s, Metro’s Mountain Cabin, a simple tale of childhood chums seeking the perfect camping cabin, to Susan Lute’s, A Marine’s Christmas Proposal, a delightful sexy twist on an office romance,  the book kept me turning the pages.

I couldn’t wait to read the next story!

Melissa Yuan’s, The Cancer Christmas, brought tears to my eyes as she shared her personal experience as her father battled cancer. I cheered as the miracle needed to save the family farm came from a wholly unexpected source in Pamela Cowan’s, Christmas Miracles, and Courtney Pierces’s, The Nest, had me grinning at the antics of a ‘special’ guest who arrived for the holidays. 

Readers will sit on the edge of their seats trying to unravel the mystery in Paty Jager’s, Isabella’s Christmas Box, and they’ll shiver in suspense at the paranormal twist Anna Brentwood weaves into The Mermaid’s Treasure.  I fell in love with the characters in Christy Carlyle’s tender love story, Don’t Forget the Mistletoe, and I sighed with satisfaction when I finished reading Judith Ashley’s, First Love.

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly read anything new and unexpected about the Christmas season, Jane Killick had me reeling with a fabulous twist in Christmas With You, as did Jamie Brazil in Career Conundrum Christmas.

Lastly, Maggie Jaimeson takes the reader all the way to Scotland in The Hogmanay Stranger, for yet, another inspiring tale of selflessness.

The Gift of Christmas contains everything a holiday anthology ought to.  A bit of romance, compassion,  mystery, devotion to family, love surpassing time and physical restraints,  these authors’ talents should be enjoyed with your favorite hot beverage, maybe a tasty treat or two, and tucked beneath a favorite blanket before a blazing fire.

The Gift of Christmas is sure to have something for everyone seeking the Christmas spirit. 
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

My Love Affair with Scottish Romance

My Love Affair with Scottish Romance

I suppose with a last name like Cameron, my addiction to shortbread and tea, as well as the Scottish blood running in my veins, it’s seems natural that I’d write Scottish romances.

didn't intend to become so entranced with Scotland when I made the hero in my first Scottish Regency, Highlander’s Hope  a laird who also holds a British title. I thought Ewan McTavish was an anomaly.  But, I did give him a large family, and if you know anything about Scot’s, they are a bold, outspoken lot and those characters demanded their own stories.

Hence in the Castle Brides series, two of the books are partially set in Scotland, and the 6-book spin off series, the Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Series finds my characters romping across the heather and moors of the Highlands getting into all sorts of trouble.

I am fascinated with Scottish history: The Viking invaders, the standing stones, and they myriad of Scot’s superstitions.  I adore the language and could listen to the Scots speak for hours on end.

I’d like to include lots of Scots dialect and cant in my writing, but much like purple prose, too much ruins the story. 

I have a few favorite words I use consistently throughout all the books, though with Heart of a Highlander, my contribution to Gifts from the Heart: an Anthology I indulged my Scottish obsession to the fullest.

A true Highlander tale which tells the love story Ewan’s mother and stepfather, I let the dialect flow. 
The story is filled with Scottish Valentine traditions and a bit of Scottish lore too.

Here’s a short excerpt from Heart of a Highlander

Giselle cast a worried glance skyward. The clouds had deepened to slate, and snow fell heavily. They needed to make haste. Even in good weather, the castle lay a good fifteen-minute walk along a tapered track.

“Be ye sharing yer pasties, young laddie?”

Giselle started and spun around, her cloak swirling about her ankles. Her pulse raced on tense little feet.

A roguish grin on his handsome face, Hugh rested a broad shoulder against one of the rock pillars supporting the gate.

Her missing glove dangled from his fingertips.

“You startled me, Hugh.”

Hand at her throat, Giselle drank him in. Her irregular heartbeat couldn't be blamed solely on surprise. Mon Dieu, no man should be so disturbingly attractive. Mortal females simply didn't have the ability to resist such chiseled, male perfection.  

Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Series
A disillusioned Scottish gentlewoman. 
Angelina Ellsworth once believed in love—before she discovered her husband of mere hours was a slave-trader and already married. To avoid the scandal and disgrace, she escapes to the estate of her aunt and uncle, the Duke and Duchess of Waterford. When Angelina learns she is with child, she vows she’ll never trust a man again. 

A privileged English lord. 
Flynn, Earl of Luxmoore, led an enchanted life until his father committed suicide after losing everything to Waterford in a wager. Stripped of all but his title, Flynn is thrust into the role of marquis as well as provider for his disabled sister and invalid mother. Unable to pay his father’s astronomical gambling loss, Flynn must choose between social or financial ruin. 

When the duke suggests he’ll forgive the debt if Flynn marries his niece, Flynn accepts the duke’s proposal. Reluctant to wed a stranger, but willing to do anything to protect her babe and escape the clutches of the madman who still pursues her, Angelina agrees to the union. 

Can the earl and his Scottish lass find happiness and love in a marriage neither wanted, or is the chasm between them insurmountable?

Excerpt

Shoving hair off her face, Angelina stepped onto the lowest limb and hesitated a moment before taking his outstretched hand. She nearly jerked hers away when a jolt of sensation vibrated clear to her shoulder.

Once safely on the ground, she disengaged her hand. “Thank you.”

“I’d bow before I introduce myself, but I don’t trust him.” Gesturing toward the dozing bull, the man flashed perfect white teeth.

Of course they were. Just like Charles’s. And what a bounder he’d turned out to be.

New rule.

Don’t trust men with nice teeth.

She met the gentleman’s curious perusal.

Or beautiful eyes and sinfully thick lashes.

“I’m Flynn, Ear—” A grimace shadowed his face. “Marquis of Bretheridge. My estate, Lambridge Manse, borders these lands.”

“Thank you, my lord.”

Should she curtsy? A little late for conventions. Best to get on her way as soon as possible.

Not trusting the behemoth resting a stone’s throw away, Angelina warily gathered her belongings.

The marquis’s focus sank to her bare feet.

Muddy toes, one bloody, peeked from beneath her soaked and soiled skirt.

She swore his mouth quivered in amusement.

The first English peer she’d met besides her uncle, and she resembled a street urchin. Aunt Camille would have apoplexy if she found out. And Uncle Ambrose?

Gads.

Angelina didn't want to imagine his reaction. His response would be unpleasant to be sure.

She made to turn toward the house. “Thank you, again.”

Aren't you going to tell me who you are?” Lord Bretheridge regarded her expectantly.

In another time and in another place, she might have— before she learned not to trust.
