I had problems with my Internet provider. Cox won't let me connect, so I'm having to log in from work. Patti--I've heard it said that children were far closer to their foster-parents than to their own flesh and blood. My impression is that they viewed their adopted parents as their own. I would think it would really hurt, as a mother, to have your own child call someone else as their mother. Aztec lady--The sources I've read say that all children were fostered. It really surprised me, to say the least! Jane--you would probably like Ammanda McCabe. She wrote one set in Venice. Carrie--ooh, India sounds like a fabulous setting. I'll look for Morag's books. Deb--I'm hoping to add my last two MacEgans in the near future. We'll see how it goes! First, I'm doing an early medieval book (Her Warrior Slave) and then I'm doing a Victorian for a change of pace. After that, I may get back to them. Liviania--I love Jean Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear series. Especially the first book. Just beautiful. Hi Julia! Hi all!

What can create more drama than to have your heroine bartered away to a man who possesses complete power over her? You know she must summon all her internal resources to fight back and create a place for herself. Great opening! I adore Ireland as well as Scotland and am so glad HH enthusiastically embraced your stories. Carry, I've read both of Pippin's Blood Moon (Bengal and also Britain) books and really enjoyed the settings. (WWII is a favorite time period and I'm also a fan of India stories--can anyone say MM Kaye?) I'll have to check out your site. Loved the excerpt, Michelle!

How about Jean Auel's books for a unique historical setting?

I love hearing about your inspiration! My mom is a huge Jude Deveraux fan, I read all of her medievals when I was younger. When will we see another MacEgan book from you? I love them, trews and all!

I love hearing about your inspiration! My mom is a huge Jude Deveraux fan, I read all of her medievals when I was younger.

When will we see another MacEgan book from you? I love them, trews and all!

We have Morag and 20 other such authors over at <a href="http://unusualhistoricals.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Unusual Historicals</a>. Always a fun time seeing where imagination takes us.

I love the idea of medieval Ireland as setting for romances–I’m adding your books to my TBB list.

They must have been very different from those we have today. Whom did the youngsters seek to please? To whom did they look for comfort? What did it do to their ability to be close to anyone? It must have been a very different world. Patti Patricia Frances Rowell Hi, Michelle–

I’ve always wondered what fostering did for family relationships. They must have been very different from those we have today.

Whom did the youngsters seek to please? To whom did they look for comfort? What did it do to their ability to be close to anyone? It must have been a very different world.
