Interview and #GIVEAWAY - Granny Sinclair - #KindleFire #MoreSassWithAge
My Seductive Highlander, the final book in the Highland Hearts series, releases on October 11, 2016—which is just a little shy of three short months from now.
Granny Sinclair, the matchmaking matriarch of the Sinclair clan, was kind enough to grant me an interview, even though when I asked her to include a recent photo, she sent me a one-eyed shot of her cat, Kismet rather than a picture of herself. She’s stubborn like that. Aren’t you, Granny?
Granny: I don’t consider myself stubborn. I’ve simply arrived at an age where I know my own mind and have no reservations. Plain and simple. I’ve never liked having my picture taken so why should I? You’re lucky Kismet graced you with a photo. Now, shall we get on with this? I’m a busy woman. I believe you had some questions?
Uhm…absolutely. *clears throat and shuffles through notes* My Seductive Highlander is Lilia’s story, your youngest granddaughter, and the last one that needed settling into a happily-ever-after. You matched all your granddaughters with Highlanders from another time. Any particular reason why?
Granny: They weren’t just any Highlanders.
Yes, I know that. But they were all from the past. Wouldn’t it have been easier to find suitable husbands from the current century?
Granny: I wasn’t looking for “suitable”. Life’s too short for “suitable”. Never settle for anything less than soul-scorching passion. Next question.
You’re not going to make this interview easy, are you?
Granny: This was your brilliant idea. Not mine.
*blows out a strained breath* Okay then. Now that My Seductive Highlander closes the series, what’s next for Granny Sinclair?
Granny: You really want me to sit here and tell everyone how the book ends? Have you lost your mind?
*bites tongue to keep from cursing* How about if we tell everyone about the giveaway?
Granny: Good idea.
*sigh* Well, I hope you’ve all enjoyed this brief chat with Granny. I know I have. *clears throat* Thank you, Granny and Kismet for taking time out of your busy schedules to meet with me.
Granny: *politely nods as she scoops up Kismet and walks out the door*

I would choose Scotland 1200 -1300's. Medieval Scotland is fascinating. I know it wouldn't have been easy living in that time period, but it would've been interesting. :) While we're 'wishing'I would have loved granny as my grandmother. She's feisty, and there would never be a dull moment.
ReplyDeleteYou're a woman after my own heart, Angela! I adore medieval Scotland and would love to be able to pop in for a wee visit. (And I'm kinda fond of Granny too!) ;)
DeleteThis interview gave me the giggles! Sad this is the last one of this sensational series as I have loved every single book in the series. Looking forward to reading My Seductive Highlander!.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've enjoyed the series, Barb! I'm sad to say goodbye to the Sinclairs too!

Carla from Utah
Yay, Carla! I admit, the Highlands of Scotland and its history are my faves too!
DeleteRegency England and attend a ball
ReplyDeleteOh my! Wouldn't that be wonderful, Linda. All the intrigue of the Ton. The fashion. The romance. *sigh*
DeleteYears ago I started looking into my genealogy and discovered I have Scottish roots. I even found a castle that belonged to my ancestors that was open to tours. I would love to go back to when my ancestors lived in the castle!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be a fantastic family reunion, Lacey! How neat! :-)
DeleteI read and reviewed the first two books in the series. Somehow I missed book #3.

DeleteMy Tempting Highlander, Book #3, came out in February. I know the "after the holiday season" time is crazy for me. I bet you were uber-busy. My Seductive Highlander is Book 4 and the series finale. *sigh* I'm gonna miss my Sinclair ladies and the Highlanders who love them.
DeleteGranny, you sounds like such a hoot!! I'd really like to visit medieval era and perhaps wearing the lady's gown or something - but without attracting any attention (I mean dangerous attention, if it came as some other attraction... well, okay. Perhaps.) ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I agree, Dee. The gowns back then were fabulous. And you're absolutely right. Granny is a HOOT! :-)
DeleteRegency England and Medieval Scotland
ReplyDeleteOh my yes, Sheryl! I agree. Those would be wonderful eras to visit.
DeleteRegency England or medieval
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Molly! :-)
DeleteI woul love to go back to the summer I met my husband!

ReplyDeleteGranny Sinclair, just this side of rude ;)
ReplyDeleteI like it, tho she should be nicer to you .
I need to go to Scotland :) Maybe Genny Sinclair can hook me up ,1200-1300 would be a fascinating tho difficult time to visit
It would have to be in the Highlands, Clan Ross! :D
DeleteLOL! Yep. Granny Sinclair can be a bit snarky at times. ;-)
DeleteI would love to visit Scotland and imagine it at different times in history.
ReplyDeleteI believe I would like to go back to the Highlands of Scotland in the 1300's. All those strong, gorgeous highlander men! I would like to belong to the Laird's family. I would also like to be able to choose my own husband though. I would choose a strong, intelligent, kind and loving laird from an allie clan.

ReplyDeleteToo bad newsletter subscribers didn't get to enter or know about this
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. I totally dropped the ball on this one and I'm sorry. I fully intended to let my newsletter subscribers know but in the grand scheme of things, I forgot. All I can say is that in the future, hopefully when my new series comes out next year, I will run a similar giveaway for newsletter subscribers only. I'm afraid I can't manage that sort of giveaway this year. It's just not in the budget. Hopefully, you haven't unsubscribed and will still be around for that opportunity. If not, I understand but I'm still sad because that means I've lost a like-minded friend who enjoys reading.
