A few surprising facts about The Commander's Desire...
This historical romance takes place in 715 A.D. in Galwyddel, which is modern day southern Scotland. The 6th to 8th centuries were a time when many small Briton kingdoms warred for preeminence in this area, although Northumbria, a giant power to the east, ruled them from afar. I enjoyed including a little about Northumbria's colorful ruler at the time, King Osred I, who was (according to history), a debauched young man who seduced nuns! He wasn't in power long, for it was a bloody time in history. Against this historical backdrop of war and intrigue, I've written The Commander's Desire.
