I'm being interviewed today over at The Maiden's Court and at Sharon's Garden of Book Reviews. Come on over and join us! ...

It's Monday, and time for some MANor Candy, as well as info on some guest blog posts and a Twitter Chat. Lots going on! 
Today's MANor Candy is Carnassarie Castle, north of Kilmartin, in Argyll & Bute, Scotland. It is a ruined 16th-century towerhouse that I was fortunate enough to visit on my trip to the UK, and my other inspiration for Banbogle Castle. Its crumbling features and part of its floorplan make up the heart of my fictitious Banbogle Castle. My visit to Carnassarie was instr...

Two blogs are posting interviews of me today. The first, Whims & Tonic, is run by the fabulous Hazel Gaynor - drop by to read about my experiences with publishing Then & Now. 
The second will be posted on Night Owl Reviews. 
Then join me this afternoon for a coffee break or a lunch break (depending on your time zone) Twitter Chat with fellow mystery author Gigi Pandian. Gigi is the author of the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery Series, and Book 1, Artifact, was recently re-re...

First of all, Happy Labor Day to all my American readers! Hope you're enjoying this lovely day. 
Now, back to business, as it were. How about some MANor Candy? And today I'm featuring Barnbougle Castle on the Dalmeny Estate along the shores of the Firth of Forth, part of the inspiration for Banbogle Castle in the second Lady Darby novel, Mortal Arts. Although Barnbougle Castle is in much better condition than the Banbogle Castle in the novel, it is situated in much the same spot, and I've ...

In anticipation of the launch of Mortal Arts, Lady Darby Book 2, over the next few weeks I'm going to feature the manors and castles that influenced or inspired the locations in the novel. First up, is Dalmeny House--the real life inspriation for Dalmay House in the book. Dalmeny House is located on the Dalmeny estate along the shores of the Firth of Forth, northwest of Edinburgh. Many of the rooms and features are much as I described them in Mortal Arts. Details have been altered to suit the st...

Today's MANor Candy comes to us from the beautiful Isle of Skye. Dunvegan Castle stands just north of the village of Dunvegan, and has been the stronghold of Clan MacLeod for 800 years. It is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland.
