Although we’re reposting some of our favorite blogs this month, I realized that I simply had to share some new things with you. From decades of being the parent of school-aged kids, August meant one thing — freedom was close at hand. . . er. . . the little darlings would be going back to school soon.

So, as the summer winds down and fall looms ever closer on the horizon, I wanted to ask you — how was your summer? Did it meet your expectations? Anything you’re looking forward to in the fall? Post a comment and let me know and I’ll pick a couple of people to receive a copy of on of my digital short stories/novellas. As a bonus, if you can tell me the titles/artists of the original songs used in the commercials above, post them and I’ll award a collection of all my digital shorts – A Night for Her Pleasure, Kidnapping the Laird, What The Duchess Wants, and this month’s new release – Taming the Highland Rogue to 3 people with the correct answers!

 

Terri returns to her favorite place and time – the medieval Highlands of Scotland – as she begins a new series of stories about the next generation of the MacLerie Clan. THE HIGHLANDER’S STOLEN TOUCH is a September release and is available now at Harlequin or can be pre-ordered everywhere else for its August 27 paperback release.
