Sweet Robin

 

So…I have been keeping secrets! Whenever I am in between drafts of whatever story I am working on, I write a whole different story. It helps me build up my writing skills and gives me the freedom to play around with things like characterisation and literary techniques. This is where the Ethereal Bridge novellas came from, but lately I wrote something more romantic than anything else. The story would not leave me alone, so I decided to get it ready for publication. However, it did not quite fit with what I usually write, so I decided to place it under a pen name I created about a decade ago but never really used. So, here it is: Sweet Robin, by Elizabeth Coult (aka, me!). It’s a modern day retelling of Tamlain and the Fairy Queen, a traditional Scottish folktale I fell in love with years ago. It follows broken hearted Jenny, a sensible, dependable sort of person, who flees to a remote island in the Scottish Isles to get away from her life for a while. Once there she keeps getting herself into embarrasing scrapes, and a handsome stranger Robin keeps helping her out of them. She decides that a holiday fling may be just the thing that she needs. Little does she know that Robin is really the centuries-old, indentured servant to a queen of the Fae realm of Andell. She also doesn’t realise that she has accidentally fallen in love with him until it is almost too late to do anything about it.

Anyway, it’s a sweet romantic love story that combines magic, a medieval inspired faery world, and modern day humans who sneak in through the hidden gate between the worlds. Sweet Robin comes out October 15th, so mark it in your diaries! The preorder link for the ebook is below if you think it might be something you are interested in.

I really appreciate any and all support for this endeavour of mine! If there turns out to be a lot of interest, I have a whole world and cast of characters planned out to write more.
