Behind the Story

Read on for behind-the-scenes research, historical tidbits, inspirations, and fun facts about the "making of" my books!

Although Falling for the Highlander has some magical elements to it (sadly, we can't time-travel in the real world--yet!) I incorporated some history about 1394 Scotland as well.

A particular tidbit I enjoyed researching was the birth of Scotland’s King James I. He is thought to have been born on or around July 25, 1394, right when my book takes place. James was the third son of King Robert III and was never expected to take the throne, but by the time he turned twelve, both his parents and his two older brothers had died, and suddenly he was the King of Scotland!

If you've read Falling already, you'll know how I weaved this history into my story, but if not, no spoilers—you’ll have to read it to learn the significance of King James's birth for yourself! Happy reading!
