Witch of the Glens (Family Tree #3)
by Sally WatsonThe time was 1644 in Inverness, Scotland. As the "wicked wee lass" raced along the steep streets, just ahead of the stones and cries of brio sag! hurled at her, she wished with all her heart that she were a witch. What a spell she would put on them all! No one would ever chase or beat her again. For all her seventeen years, Kelpie could remember nothing but belonging to Mina and Bogle, gypsies who lived by their evil wits, who would not hesitate to sell each other, let alone Kelpie. She didn't blame them for that; the only law any of them knew was that of self-preservation. But Bogle said she had been kidnaped because of her blue ringed eyes of the "Second Sight," and she often wondered from where. A castle, perhaps? Nobility? Once away from Inverness, during their daily study of the crystal ball, Kelpie suspected that Mina could not see the pictures in it; she was getting it all from Kelpie. Testing this, Kelpie withheld details about the two fine young men she saw. When, a few days later, she carefully fell into the path of those same young men, she started a series of events that was to change her entire life.

My buddy, Robyn Peterman and I co-wrote the first chapters of our contributions together as a collaborative effort--with each of us writing our heroine's dialogue. The concept was plotted, and created by both parties during lots of giggling phone calls.When the anthology disbanded, Robyn and I each took our titles and republished them (see Robyn Peterman's Switching Hour) as stand-alone titles. In the process, Robyn chose to revise and change the name of my character (Winnie).So, if you've read Robyn's book and are just now reading mine (or vice versa) you're not seeing things! Our first chapters are very similar--please take care in noting the details of our book's publications in reviews and on social media. Dakota Cassidy xxoo
