Kathleen Heady: My first novel, The Gate House, is due to be republished soon by Whiskey Creek Press. My current works in progress are both part of the Nara series. Nara is a young woman with roots in the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.
Lydia’s Story bridges the present day and World War II in a story of family ties and the greed for possessions. As she delves into the past, Nara finds that descendants of a French aristocratic family are on the trail of their own lost possessions, which they believe Nara may have stumbled upon in her search for the truth about her great-grandparents.
In Nara of the Islands, I tell Nara’s story on the fictional island of St. Clare, where she grew up in a laid-back tropical environment, with an undercurrent of magic and belief in the power of charms and potions.
Nara has her own FaceBook page – Nara from the Gate House.

Ariel Tachna: Inherit the Sky by Ariel Tachna (work in progress)
Caine Neiheisel is stuck in a dead-end job at the end of a dead-end relationship when the chance of a lifetime falls in his lap. His mother inherits her uncle’s sheep station in New South Wales, Australia, and Caine sees it as the opportunity to start over, out on the range where his stutter won’t hold him back and his willingness to work will surely make up for his lack of knowledge.
Unfortunately, Macklin Armstrong, the foreman of Lang Downs who should be Caine’s biggest ally, alternates between being cool and downright dismissive, and the other hands are more amused by Caine’s accent than they are moved by his plight. It will take all of Caine’s determination—and an act of cruel sabotage by a hostile neighbor—to bring the men of Lang Downs together and give Caine and Macklin a chance at love.

These all sound fascinating and I would definitely read them.
I wish I was working on something right now. I have three more books to get ready for publication by Edin Road Press and that's going to tie me up until the end of the year. One of them is actually a NEW book instead of a re-release. Makes me happy.
Oh,well...I suppose I could count The Morrigan; it's still "in progress" since I haven't finished it yet. An erotic thriller. Hmm, okay, I'll count it. That's MY WIP. ;-)
I like the sound of that, Jesse.
