A canvas, however detailed, limits characters to only one moment in time. “If a picture’s worth a thousand words, the other ninety thousand have to show up somewhere!” An avid readers, she admits, “At thirteen, I fell in love with Brontë’s Heathcliff and became Catherine. Next year I fell for Rhett and became Scarlett. Then I fell for the hero I’d known most of my life and finally became myself.” After living for four years in Europe, Lyn and her husband, Allen, settled into a log house in north Alabama that is crammed to the rafters with antiques, artifacts and the stuff of future tales. GAIL RANSTROM was born and raised in Missoula, Montana, and grew up spending the long winters lost in the pages of books that took her to exotic locales and interesting times. That love of the “inner voyage” eventually led to her writing. She has three children, Natalie, Jay and Katie, who are her proudest accomplishments. Part of a truly bicoastal family, she resides in Southern California with her two terriers, Piper and Ally, and has family spread from Alaska to Florida. ANNE O’BRIEN was born and lived for most of her life in Yorkshire, England. Here she taught history, before deciding to fulfill a lifetime ambition to write romantic historical fiction. She won a number of short story competitions until published for the first time by Harlequin®. As well as writing, she finds time to enjoy gardening, cooking and watercolor painting. She now lives with her husband in an eighteenth-century cottage in the depths of the Welsh Marches.

Marriage, even in the best of circumstances, takes a huge amount of work, hope and determination to succeed. In medieval times, those of the upper classes rarely had much choice in the matter. How would you cope if someone else chose a mate for you? A virtual stranger? Remember that this was a business deal—divorce was not an option and love rarely a consideration. It was truly death till you parted. Would you rail against fate, or do your utmost to create a loving relationship? In A BOUQUET OF THISTLES I give you a couple who were amiably betrothed at a very young age, but then were changed by war and circumstance into two very different and headstrong individuals. When Alys and John finally meet as adults, can they “make” love out of a young girl’s fantasies and a fledgling knight’s indifference? I truly hope you enjoy their efforts and mine. Happy Reading!
