Step Further Back Into Ancient History
by Tracy Cooper-Posey
For the longest time, medieval
historical periods have been the favourite playground for romance writers –
lords and ladies, knights, kings and queens and all the derring-do and darling,
don’t, along with some really frightening civil wars led by slightly crazy to
downright deranged princes and military advisors.
It’s the stuff of…oh, yeah. Books.
Personally, though, when I want to
slip back into history, I push back a few more centuries, into the “ancient”
periods, because they were way more
fun.
I tend to focus in and around
Britain and Europe, spreading out as far as the Middle East, just because
there’s so much happening back then
it takes a while to absorb it all. But
just Europe, from around 5 B.C. to 7 A.D. is so rich in events and cultures it
could take a lifetime to really appreciate it all.
The
Romans were really hitting their peak
around now. Their empire was the biggest
it was ever going to reach, taking in most of Europe, as far west as the
Hyperborean Islands (Britain), and the peace and order they maintained across
that entire empire was spectacular for that day and age.
Then there were Vikings, who were just
gearing up for their mass exodus of the Scandinavian region, reaching as far as
the Americas. They would leave traces of
themselves across the globe, with their stories, beliefs and some of their
customs still lingering in western society today. Not bad for a culture that didn’t read or
write.
The native Celts and Britons in
Britain had a brief period of superiority after the Romans withdrew, when the
land was theirs alone. It was this short
few years, perhaps even a decade or two, when the real Arthur, if he existed, would have lived, ruled and lead the native
tribes.
Also during these centuries, in
Western Europe, the Angles, Saxons and
Jutes were migrating into Britain in droves, claiming farm land and gearing
up for what would eventually become the Anglo-Saxon
invasion of Britain…and one of the two major sources of western Caucasian
people. The Anglo Saxons would be the
dominant culture in England until 1066 when they would be defeated at the
Battle of Hastings by the new order: The
Normans, who ushered in the Medieval period and an utterly new way of life.
…and this is just western
Europe! Just think of all the yummy hero
types these cultures and these times could produce. Mmm…

Kiss Across Time was
released on May 1
A
single kiss can change more than one life…or two.
Taylor Yates is fired for insisting
the 5th Century Arthurian poet, Inigo Domhnall, existed. When she
hears Domhnall’s lyrics in a death metal song, she engineers a meeting with
lead singer, Brody Gallagher. An unintended kiss sends them spinning back to
the poet’s time, when Saxons were pillaging King Arthur’s Britain.
Brody’s all for kissing her again. More, he wants her to kiss his friend and
lover, Veris, to see what will happen.
When Veris’ kiss sends them back to the time of the Vikings neither man
is willing to let Taylor simply walk out of their lives.
But Brody and Veris are more than
lovers and sexual playmates, as Taylor learns when they investigate the kisses
that send them across time. The secrets
they share have the power to completely alter her life.
Warning: This story features two super-hot alpha
vampire heroes, multiple sex scenes, including anal sex, MM sexual play, and
MMF sex. Do not read this book if frank
sexual language and sex scenes offend you.

time-space continuum was restored to order at the end of this book. Promise.
