Blog Tour: Winds of Change Series and Author Guest Post with Giveaway!

Welcome to my blog Debbie!

I am happy to have a guest post by author Debbie Lynne Costello.  She is going to tell us about her Winds of Change Series.  

In my debut novel, Sword of Forgiveness, the hero has to work through the results of a border skirmish between his men and a Scottish village. He suffers with memories of the bloody battle until he is finds peace in the Lord. In the sequel, my new release, Sword of Trust, Bryce has his own problems with the border. It seems there is much reiving going on and he is forever having to deal with the stealing, burning, and destruction of property.

 England and Scotland have had a tumultuous past. Scotland is said to have been founded as a kingdom around 843. England became a sovereign state in 927. The two kingdoms have fought many a battle over land. Because of this, the border between the two countries fluctuated with the strength of a nation. If I counted correctly there were at least 35 wars and battles with just England!

 Because of this animosity between the two kingdoms, reivers arose who would go over the border and steal cattle, burn crops, raid houses and burn them. This type of activity went on during the end of the 13th and turn of the 14th century as well. The kings of both countries were tired of the battles and skirmishes that never seem to end and pretty much left it a wild and unforsaken land that the border lords tried to keep under control.

 In Sword of Trust, you’ll find Bryce, an English lord, going head to head with a strong willed female Scottish reiver, pretending to be a lad. She has been brought up to hate the English. Read Sword of Trust, a novel full of historical facts and step back in time to border conflicts, a country in turmoil, and a king about to be dethroned.

Book 2 in the Winds of Change Series

Deirdre Mackenzie has spent her life hiding from her father and hating the English. However, when she is caught stealing from an English laird, his unexpected kindness begins to melt away her hatred and strums lonely heartstrings longing for love. Bryce Warwick discovers the “boy” caught with his livestock is actually a young woman. After several attempts to lure the truth from her, he determines she is as deceitful as his late fiancĂ©e who nearly cost him his life. But the woman is the least of his worries with the turbulence brought on by threats of another border war and by King Richard's distrust of the nobles.

With old wounds in need of healing and adversaries who would ruin their chances at true love, both must learn to trust in a way they never knew possible.

The stakes are high, secrets prevail, and treason is just a kiss away.

Sword of Trust by Debbie Lynne Costello Winds of Change Book 2


 This was such enthralling book.  I absolutely connected with this book.  I felt like I was right there in the woods, in the castle, in the village.  This book does that to you.  Ms. Costello has a definite talent for bringing the reader right into the center of her story.  You become a part of it.  The story is so well written and the events come together so perfectly.  The author has a wonderful command of medieval history and terminology.  

This was a well written book which keep you guessing as to what happens next.  I highly recommend this excellent book.

Complete with all the medieval details, charm and wonderfully strong characters, this book has it all.  Secrets, betrayal, forgiveness and trust… It’s a book you want to read to the end, but yet, never want it to end! 

I received an ebook copy from the author.  All thoughts are my own.
