A haunting and emotionally charged story of two sisters torn apart by jealousy and superstition, and the impossible leap of faith that could finally bring them together.
I love books that transport me to another time and place. Even better if they allow me to travel with the characters to a variety of places, some familiar and some not.
While many castles are rumored to be haunted, seldom these days does one have the opportunity for confirmation of a ghostly presence from someone who has experienced it himself.
An emotionally charged story centered on a family tragedy, a forgotten legend, and two sisters locked in a bitter feud.
Only a few days left to enter and win one of 5 print copies of the historical novel SISTERS OF CASTLE LEOD, by Elizabeth Hutchison Bernard.
I offer a few recommendations for historical novels by contemporary authors that include a touch (or more) of the supernatural. Some of these novels are new, others not, but all are among my personal favorites.
When I first decided to write a novel based on the fascinating lives of the Mackenzie sisters, I knew that I wanted to relate their story as a first-person narrative, but I was conflicted about the narrator.
