award-winning book, Booksprout, Judith Sterling, medieval romance series, Night of the Owl, read and review, The Novels of Ravenwood, time travel romance

Good news for those of you who like to read and review free books: my award-winning time travel romance, Night of the Owl, is available for a limited time on Booksprout. It’s the fourth of The Novels of Ravenwood, but it can definitely stand alone. Here’s the story:

PhD student Ardyth Nightshade has renounced men and pursues her twentieth-century career with single-minded focus. When fate whisks her to medieval England, she meets her match in a man whose passions mirror her own. Can she sacrifice ambition for a love she never sought?

Hugh, Lord Seacrest confounds all who know him. He refuses to marry without a meeting of minds and hearts, and no lady has even approached his ideal…until Ardyth. But she’s an odd one, with unique skills, shocking habits, and total conviction she needs no man. She also harbors secrets, and in the midst of rumors, plots, and murder, trust is fragile.

A woman outside of her time. A man ahead of his. They must take a leap of faith to forge a bond that will shape history.

A peek between the pages:

            Hugh stormed into the cave, unable to stem the tide of jealousy swelling inside him.  A pox on Ranulf!  Ardyth thought him smart, talented, kind, and handsome.  She told me she didn’t need a man.  Now here she is, half in love with a goliard!

            Her arms dropped to her sides, and she stumbled backwards.

            He stopped and frowned.  “Why do you recoil?”

            She halted and lifted her chin.  “Why do you look so angry?”

            With purposeful strides, he closed the distance between them.  “I met Lady Isobel near the gatehouse.  She told me you were here, talking of Ranulf.”

            “Oh, she did!  How good of her to report my every move, and how predictable that you prize her opinion above mine.”

            “As you prize Ranulf above other men?”  He clenched his fists, willing her to contradict him yet knowing she wouldn’t.

            “What are you talking about?”

            “I saw the pair of you last night…conversing cozily in the hall.  ʼTis obvious he’s claimed your affections, though how I cannot—”

            “What?!”  Her flushed face was a mask of disbelief.

            “You heard me.”

            “I did, but I doubted my ears.  A man of your depth and perception must’ve realized that…”

            His clamped fingers relaxed.  “Realized…what exactly?”

            “Must I say it out loud?”

            “I think you’d better.”

            With a huff, she rolled her eyes.  “Ranulf is just a friend.  If there’s anyone I like around here, ʼtis you!”

            He hesitated only an instant, long enough to absorb what she’d said.  Then he grasped her arms, pulled her to him, and pressed his lips to hers.

            Breaking free of his hold, she took his face between her hands and returned his kiss with passionate abandon.  Her tongue took the lead.  Her moan harmonized with the howling wind.  She tasted of elderberries, ginger, and honey.  Of lust and life.  Heat rushed through him, heightening every sense as he gave himself to the kiss.

If your interest is piqued, check out Night of the Owl here on Booksprout. Or if you’d rather, you can buy the book at one of these online stores:

Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU | B & N | Apple | Kobo

Enjoy the rest of your day! 🙂

Good morning! Just wanted to let you know…

I had a lot of fun creating a travel guide for my fictional town of Prestby (from The Novels of Ravenwood) on author Stella Jayne Phillips’s blog. Check it out here!

Switching gears from England to Ireland, I’m spending most of today writing the final book in my Guardians of Erin series: The Spear Alight. My deadline is fast approaching.

Have a beautiful day!  🙂

5++ stars for RETURN OF THE RAVEN, plus best seller news!

N. N. Light’s Book Heaven has given my new release 5++ stars! I’m so excited! Here’s a bit of the review:

“This is the crown of excellence…A brilliant conclusion to the series, [it] is a must-read. It can be read as a standalone, too. Fans of Diana Gabaldon will swoon over Return of the Raven.”

If you’re interested, you can read the whole review here.

Wonderful things have happened recently with this series. In previous posts, I mentioned Shadow of the Swan‘s five-star review from Reader’s Favorite and Night of the Owl‘s second-place win in the Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer’s Choice Awards. But a couple of weeks ago, Flight of the Raven had some real success at international Amazon stores. It became the #1 best seller in medieval historical romance in Canada and Australia, and it reached #2 in the UK. It was also #82 in Canada’s whole Kindle Store. I couldn’t believe it!

Flight of the Raven is still available to reviewers on Booksprout for a limited time. If you’re interested, check it out here.

That’s all for now. I need to get back to writing The Spear Alight, the fourth and final book in my Guardians of Erin series. Have a beautiful day!  🙂
