Today I'm offering a peek from Entice Me ~  a multi-author anthology by the authors from Romance Books '4' Us. Nine luscious love stories make up our 99¢ anthology. (Watch for the pre-order!)

I have a new pen name and another direction for my creativity. Madeline Archer makes her debut with Heart of Stone. Scroll down to learn more. 

Blurb~
The story opens with the notorious witch hunts in 17th Century Salem, Massachusetts.

As formal education for women lacks substance in her own country, Neila Flannigan leaves Ireland in 1904 to attend Radcliffe women’s college America. Shy and introverted, Neila passes her lonesome hours sketching the Harvard grounds and sending drawings home to her father. A chance encounter with a kind and elderly Irish woman inspires her to sketch a statue in an old, unused building. Desperately lonely, Neila ends up sharing her thoughts and feelings with a man carved in stone. Some days it feels like he listens.

Setting the Stage~
In this scene, the notion of foreboding that has been dogging Finola's steps all day comes to fruition when her daughter’s witch's familiar appears. Nicodemus the raven seems agitated...

My 8~

It should not take this long for Abigayle to venture here. The bird returned and widely circled three more times before disappearing beyond the trees. Finding his behavior both anxious and agitated, Finola frowned and murmured, “Where are ye, girl?”
Turning to the packrat sitting atop the pork barrel, she told her familiar, “I’m feelin’ uneasy, Martin. Abigayle should have come by now.” Her chin jerked skyward, she mumbled, “And will you look at him? Something is amiss.”
Martin nodded.
