The Eve of Love: A Hearts Through History anthology

Currently only at Amazon

Shunned as a divorcee, Livi Breeze performs on the streets of London to survive. Asked to sing at a New Year’s Eve party thrown by a famous theatre couple, she realizes this may be her only chance to escape rain, snow, and sleet for a career on the stage. As the clock nears midnight and her nerves begin to fray, the party magically also offers a chance for true love.

Ash Crispen has poured his heart and soul into an operetta, determined not to be the talentless son of extraordinary parents. Heavily courted by a beautiful actress gunning for the lead in his play, Ash assumes he’ll cast her, that is until he sees Livi. Is she capable of holding an audience, and more importantly, can she win the favor of London’s empresarios?

Believing herself abandoned by her fiancé in the wilds of Northern Wales, actress Babbie Crispen and her wheelchair-bound son struggle to find shelter on a frigid night before Christmas.

A strange man the locals call the Wicked Scot finds them near death on a snow-covered hillside. He brings them to his castle, a place of both terrifying and wonderful magic so powerful it changes all their lives.

In Lord Hugh Davenport’s opinion, women of the ton perpetually hide behind a mask of deception. That’s hard for Lady Ellie Albright to swallow – especially since she’s disguised herself as a stable hand to get back the prized stallion her father sold Hugh to pay a debt. If Hugh learns her true identity she’ll lose the horse and her family will go bankrupt. Somehow, though, giving up Hugh’s love is starting to seem worse.

The flock of insipid debutantes Hugh's mother invites to a house party, bore him. Instead, he's captivated by an enigmatic stable hand who swears she’ll never marry. The harder he presses her, the more she urges him to wed Ellie Albright, the silliest goose in the whole unappealing lot. What Hugh desires is a strong, independent woman who can hold her own and who cares about something other than the latest hat styles. And that’s just the type of woman he's never going to find in his mother’s parlor…

Friday Mary Caelsto is visiting and Talking about Who She Was Before #MFRWAuthor #Horses #Multi-genre author #Romance

 

1.       What were you before you became an author? Did this influence your choices as a writer?

 

I’ve always been an author, having told my high school guidance counselor I was going to work on horse farms and write romance novels. Though I dropped out of college for equine science after 2 semesters (having discovered that at $5/hour, I was the highest paid stable hand around AND that wouldn’t get me out of my mom’s house), I kept writing even as I got a “real” job. I’ve worked extensively in customer service and tech support. Currently in addition to running Epona Author Services and all its offerings, I’m a technical support specialist and training manager for a small software firm. While my career directly hasn’t influenced my writing, it has pressed me to learn all I can and become fully self-employed. That’s a goal I’m still working towards, while also returning to college to finish that degree I’d abandoned back in 1994.

 

2.       Are you genre specific or general? I don’t mean major genres but subdivisions or romance, mystery or paranormal.

 

I am a proud multi-passionate, multi-genre author. While I tend to write books with equestrian themes (and barring that, animal companions), I write equestrian women’s lit, romance, and contemporary fantasy under this pen name. As Mary Winter, I’ve written erotic romance of all sub-genres, though I focus primarily on paranormal shifters now.

 

3.       What is your latest release?

 

I recently released, Roping Paige, book 4 in my Racehorses & Romance series. This time I visit the world of quarter horse racing after care (i.e. horse rescue) when Chance, a friend of Clint from my Western Star series, drives the trailer to Paige’s rescue. Chance and Paige are instantly combustible together, but will Chance be willing to get off the rodeo circuit and settle down? And is Paige ready to expand her rescue and finally step into her own after the traffic accident that had stopped her competitive career?

 

4.       What are you working on now?

 

In June I’ll be working on books 1 and 2 of Zahra’s story (equestrian women’s lit). When the Noble Dreams series ended, Zahra moved onto the property next door to pursue the next chapter of her life. She’s returning to three-day eventing, finding love, and navigating the challenges of being on her own in a newish-to-her world.

 

5.       Does your reading choices influence your choice of a writing career?

 

They do. I tend to read fantasy, science fiction, and romance. I also read “horse books”. I read what I love and write what I love. It’s that simple.

 

6. Where can we find you?
