IT'S GUEST AUTHOR SATURDAY!! Please welcome author, Linda Tyler...

Thank you very much for inviting me to be on your Guest Author Saturday spot. I write historical romance and have recently begun writing a cosy crime series. I’m a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association. Three of my romances were published as My Weekly Pocket Novels and the first two are now available in large print by Ulverscroft.

A longer novel, The Laird’s Secret is published by Bloodhound Books. The story takes place in Scotland in 1953. To put a broken relationship behind her, a young English photographer holidays on the wild and beautiful north-east coastline of Aberdeenshire.  There she meets the enigmatic local laird, who has a secret he wishes to keep from her.

In this heartfelt historical romance, an Englishwoman and a Scottish Laird seek healing from the scars of war and betrayal.

London, 1953. Life is getting back to normal after the war and Christina Camble is one of those looking to the future. But her trust in men is destroyed when she discovers her fiancé has a wife and child. Giving up her job and flat, she flees London and moves to Scotland, where she hopes to get her life back on the right track.

Christina’s peaceful life is interrupted when she meets handsome, reserved Alex MacDonald, the Laird of Craiglogie. Physically scarred and emotionally wrecked by his experiences in World War Two, Alex can’t help but be drawn to the sensitive and beautiful newcomer. But as Christina and Alex cautiously grow closer, a romantic rival does everything she can to drive a wedge between them. Can these two, who have lost so much, learn to love and trust again?

I’m now writing a cosy crime series set in Edinburgh and following the adventures of feisty Edwardian private detective Maud McIntyre. Although the story has a romance – of course! – it will be published under a pseudonym to distinguish it from my romances.

At present I’m reading Midnight at Malabar House, the latest crime novel by Vaseem Khan. It’s set in Bombay in 1949/1950 and features India’s first female police detective.  I’m so lucky that in my previous job as a lecturer I was able to visit some wonderful countries, including India.  I’ll never forget emerging from the airport into the heat, noise, colour and seeming-chaos of a Delhi night.  Recently I was fortunate to meet Vaseem Khan at the Scottish Association of Writers’ conference, where I won first prize for the opening chapters of my new cosy crime.
