When doing research for Lion in the Heather, I forced myself to read all of Sir Walter Scott's first novel, Waverley, every verbose word of it. Let's just say it is no Ivanhoe. Known as a poet, but in desperate need of money, he sold out to write popular romantic fiction and chose as his subject the Scottish Highlands just before the defeat of the clans and the attempt to wipe out their culture by the British victors. His tale was all the rage in 1814 and went a long way toward restoring all things Scottish, from kilts to bagpipes. In my story, Lady Euphemia Longleigh has just completed reading Scott's book and is besotted by the idea of brave warriors wearing plaids. The past comes to life when she is abducted by a Scottish laird in full regalia and taken across the border to be his bride. Of course, her father, the Duke of Bellevue, is in hot pursuit to keep that from happening. But it turns out that Phemie would rather stay with her laird.
Autorenporträt
Lynn Shurr grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country, but left to wander the world shortly after getting a degree in English Literature. After living in several states and Europe, she picked up a degree in librarianship. Her first reference job brought her to the Cajun Country of Louisiana. Eventually, she became director of a library system. For her the old saying, "Once you've tasted bayou water, you will always remain here," came true. She raised three children near the banks of the Bayou Teche and lives there still with her astronomer husband, where she writes, paints, studies history, and roots for the LSU Tigers and the New Orleans Saints.
