RIP to a fine author

I'm saddened this week by the passing of Tony Hillerman, author of the Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn series of mysteries. I was introduced to Hillerman by my mother, and quickly fell under the spell of his plain but poetic prose and layered representation of the Navajo nation.

If you haven't read any of his books, give them a try. He was really a masterful writer.

New Review for Where There's a Will

I just received a lovely review from LauraJ at The Good, The Bad and the Unread.

"I really enjoyed reading this. Ms. Knights brought Scotland vividly to life through her description of the country and the people who live there. In some books, authors try too hard to capture the Scottish accent that it becomes overwhelming and confusing for readers and sometimes distracting. I never once felt this way in this story. Malcolm will probably end up on my top heroes of 2008....

"I’m really hoping that Ms. Knights will write more contemporary romantic comedies (especially set in Scotland). This was a really fun book and enjoyable book that kept me turning the pages well past my bedtime. Now to convince my husband to take me to Scotland."

Read the full review here.

Thanks, Laura, for such a great review!

Ghosts!!

I wrote a short article for Samhain Publishing's newsletter, the Samhellion, discussing ghosts in Scotland and my new book Where There's a Will. Check it out here, at the Samhellion archive.

KK on the RADIO!

Is that anything like TV on the Radio? Right, probably not...

Anyway...

If you missed my appearance on BlogTalkRadio on Monday night, it's now archived here. It was a fun interview. It's about a half hour long, and I talk about current books, old books, and possible upcoming books, as well as a bit about the inspiration for and writing of Where There's a Will. Drop by and have a listen!

KK on the Radio! Reminder

Don't forget—tonight I'll be appearing on All Romance eBooks' "What's Hot in Romance" Blog Talk Radio Show this Monday night at 9:30 EST. I'll be answering potentially embarrassing questions and possibly reading an excerpt from Where There's a Will. I hope you'll join us!

Where There's A Will--Now Available!

Where There's a Will is now available from Samhain!

The terms of the will seem crazy…until she meets the man to fulfill them.

When Chloe Sullivan’s great uncle dies, leaving her his house and a not-quite castle in the Highlands of Scotland, Chloe’s more than willing to take a vacation across the pond to check it all out. When she gets there, she finds out there’s a catch—if she wants to keep her inheritance, she has to marry a Scot.

And her great uncle even left her a suggestion as to who.

Malcolm MacTavish is taken with the lovely, straightforward Chloe the moment he sees her at the airport. But they can’t enjoy more than a brief fling, since she’s planning to go back to the States. The more he gets to know her, though, the more he wants to try to change her mind.

Until he finds out about the will…

Warning: This title contains a Highland fling (a.k.a explicit sex), Scottish accents and gratuitous jokes about the Loch Ness Monster.

Starchild Paperback Available for Pre-order

While I was poking around amazon.com looking for links, I discovered that the paperback version of Starchild, from Samhain, is available for pre-order. It releases on 11-25—pre-order it here, cause you know like a gazillion people are going to try to buy it on release day... :-D
