Happy Easter!

I love this time of year. The promise of warm weather, the bright faces of the flowers poking their heads above ground after a long winter’s nap. When I was a child, it also signaled the end of the school year was getting close. Always an exciting time.

I remember those days fondly. There are pictures of my sister and I in our pretty dresses with bonnets on our heads and white gloves on our hands. We’re ready to head off to church. Like most holidays, things were simpler in those days. The Easter bunny generally left us one large hollow chocolate bunny and maybe another small egg. There were no hidden eggs for us to hunt, but I never felt any sense of lack.

Easter also meant a big family dinner that included grandparents, an aunt, and cousins. Those days are long gone, but the memories of those wonderful times remains. However you celebrate, if you celebrate at all, enjoy the day with your family and friends.

And if you’re looking for a book to read, you might want to check out the next book in my Tapestries series.

Embroidered Fantasies
Tapestries, Book 5

With her abusive ex-husband safely behind bars, Roxanne Sykes is trying to carve out a quiet life for herself. Just as she’s beginning to feel free to explore her new possibilities, word reaches her that her cruel ex has been released from prison. When he shows up at her door bent on destroying her, it’s only through the magic of a well-loved tapestry that Roxanne is whisked away to safety—and into the world of a warrior she’s known only from her fantasies.

Radnor Craddock has known only a life of violence and brutality at the hands of his older brothers. Now that they have fallen in battle, Radnor and his twin brother Sednar can finally put their house in order. Just as their efforts are bearing fruit, fate smiles upon them again by delivering a potential tapestry bride to their doorstep. Well aware of what they must do to win her hand and her heart, the brothers dedicate themselves to granting Roxanne every imaginable pleasure, driving her to sensual heights unlike any she has ever known.

With each new erotic encounter stirring a loving bond between the three, Roxanne is tempted to accept the promise of the tapestry and make a new life and new home with the brothers. But she has trusted before and been painfully wrong, and she’s frightened by the whisperings of the brothers’ violent past. Unsure of herself and threatened anew when her merciless ex finds his way to her once again, Roxanne must trust her heart as the brothers vow to protect her and destroy her ex—and to give her a life and love she had never dreamed possible…

Theads of Destiny Teaser by @njwaltersauthor

When I wrote Christina’s Tapestry, I’d planned on it being a standalone book. Instead, it became the first in a seven book series. Every now and then readers really connect to a character. That was Marc Garen. I can’t tell you how many emails I received wanting to know if he was going to get a woman of his own, even though in his world brothers share a woman.

I really hadn’t planned on Marc having a story of his own, had told his tale in Christina’s Tapestry. Then I met Kathryn Piedmont, a woman living in a post apocalyptic future and Threads of Destiny was born.

Threads of Destiny
Tapestries, Book 4

When a magical tapestry brought a beautiful and loving bride into his brother’s life, Marc Garen could not have been happier, even though he’d hoped to win her for himself. But lately his feelings of emptiness have threatened to overwhelm him, as their buoyant happiness is such a stark reminder of the loneliness that haunts his soul. Then a new tapestry appears and hurls him into a strange and violent world—and into the arms of a woman who has haunted his dreams and carries the promise of the love he so longs for.

Kathryn Piedmont is a brave and beautiful scientist, and she’s put her own life at risk to save two men who were part of a scientific experiment and are now marked for death. As the three find themselves trapped and facing certain execution, Kathryn is convinced their fate is sealed—until Marc, the ruggedly handsome warrior of her fantasies, suddenly appears in the flesh and magically transports them to safety.

With all of them now safe in Marc’s world, the three men in turn and together share Kathryn’s bed, each of them intent on satisfying her every sensual need—and each of them compelled to try to make her his own. But Marc knows that Kathryn is the one woman who can quiet the powerful stirrings in his body and his heart, and he will take her to incredible heights of pleasure to claim her for himself and make her his own for all time…

TEASER:

“The time has come to give yourselves up.” The underlying glee in the General’s voice made her shiver.

Turning to Tienan, she gripped his arm. “You promised me.”

His eyes were sad as he leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips. “I know. Turn around.”

She knew he couldn’t look into her eyes and kill her. Instead, she focused on Logan, blowing him a kiss. Her fingers dug into the leather strap of her purse. Tienan’s hands tightened around her throat. She tensed and then forced herself to relax.

The General, realizing their intent, yelled, “Stop.”

A brilliant light flashed in the room. For a second, Kathryn wondered if this wasn’t what it felt like when you died. But the moment passed and she was still very much in this world. She blinked and half stood, unable to believe her eyes.

A giant of a man stood just beyond the door, a tapestry in one hand and a four-foot sword in the other.

“Kill the men. Spare the woman,” the General ordered. “She’s mine.”

The man took in the room at a glance, his eyes widening when he saw her. Swiftly, he turned back to the threat and attacked. His great sword cut through the men like a hot knife through butter. As she watched, two bloody heads rolled toward the bed. Using the distraction to their advantage, both Tienan and Logan dove for the other weapons, bringing them up and firing. Both her father and the General dove through the door, but they weren’t in time. She heard her father screaming in pain and the General yelling at him to shut up.

The stranger swung around and leapt over the bed, landing by her side. “You are unhurt?”

His accent was strange, but she understood him perfectly. “Yes.” She raised her hands to his face. He seemed so familiar. She blinked, taking in his bare chest, the arm and wristbands and the long brown hair that fell down his back. “Marc?” This was impossible. Marc was nothing but a character from a book, a figment from her dreams.

He flashed her a grin. “Kathryn.”

5 Things To Do This Summer

Summer is Here!

It’s the first day of summer. Here are 5 things I love to do during the summer.

1. Head out to a local park. Most cities have green spaces, so even if you can’t get out to the countryside, you can enjoy some nature.

2. Get an ice cream from a specialty shop. If you’re going to have ice cream. Make it count. Splurge on the good stuff. Bonus if you walk to or from the ice cream parlor.

3. Sit out at night and look up at the stars. I live in the city, so it’s never really quiet or dark. But late at night it’s not quite so noisy and I can still see the moon and the brighter stars. If you’re outside the city, you have a much better view, so get outside and enjoy it.

4. Pretend to be a tourist for at least one day. There are so many things in our cities and towns that we don’t pay attention to because we live there. Tourists do and see things that we don’t. So look around your own city or town, pick at least one thing, and do it. Last year, I did a tour of an older gothic-style church. And after the tour, I had tea and treats in the crypt. It’s something they do for a few weeks every summer. It was fun and those church ladies know how to bake.

5. Sit out on the balcony (or patio if you have one) with a cool drink and a good book. And if you’re looking for something to read, you might want to check out my latest release, Christina’s Tapestry.

Christina’s Tapestry

Tapestries, Book 1

Captivated by a lush tapestry she sees in a shop window, Christina Beaumont impulsively buys it, never imagining how that one action will change her life. The magical tapestry not only transports her to a world that resembles medieval Earth, but also into the arms of two massive warriors who both want to claim her.

Jarek and Marc, brothers of the House of Garen, are elated to discover the tapestry has delivered Christina to them, but ancient tradition dictates that they must compete for the right to be her husband. Both separately and together, the two will indulge Christina in every sensual way possible, taking her to passionate heights beyond even her most intense fantasies.

As the time for Christina to choose between the two men draws near, she is confronted with another option: she can return to her own modern world. Fearing their loss, Jarek and Marc will join forces to convince Christina to stay with them, even as they fight a rival family for the right to keep her as their very own . . .

This is a revised edition of a previous published book.
