I am delighted to welcome another new author to the shelves of the Cafe and Bookstore. Ailish Sinclair is a Scottish author who writes Historical Romances…I am featuring her soon to be released novel Fireflies and Chocolate on pre-order for April 1st so you have a couple of days to buy at the special price.
About the book
Elizabeth craves adventure… excitement… love…
For now though, she has to settle for a trip from her family’s castle, to the port in Aberdeen, where her father has promised she’ll be permitted to buy a horse… all of her own.
Little does she suspect this simple journey will change her life, forever. And as she dreams of riding her new mount through the forests and glens of the Manteith estate, she can have no idea that she might never see them again.
For what lies ahead is danger, unimagined… and the fearful realities of kidnap and slavery.
But even when everything seems lost, most especially the chance of ever getting home again, Elizabeth finds friendship, comfort… and that much prized love, just where she least expected it.
Set in the mid eighteenth century, Fireflies and Chocolate is a story of strength, courage and tolerance, in a time filled with far too many prejudices.

One of the recent posts for The Mermaid and The Bear on Goodreads
This book has everything you could possibly want in historical fiction – castles, witches, mermaids, bears – it’s just magical all around! I was initially drawn to the book because of the title – who wouldn’t want to read about a mermaid and a bear?
It’s been a while since I’ve read a book like this and what a world have I been missing! This book intertwines history with fantasy and magic and does it fantastically. Come to think of it, there’s actually a bit of everything in the story – romance, adventure, mystery, fun, fantasy and darkness, all rolled into one beautiful tale. Bravo Ms. Sinclair! I can’t wait for your next book!

About Ailish Sinclair
Ailish Sinclair trained as a dancer and taught dance for many years, before working in schools to help children with special needs. A short stint as a housekeeper in a castle fired her already keen interest in untold stories of the past and she sat down to research and write.
She now lives beside a loch with her husband and two children where she still dances and writes and eats rather a lot of chocolate.
Thanks for dropping in today and it would be great if you could share the news of Ailish’s new book … thank you Sally
