Winter’s coming – stock up on fireside reads.

MacNicolBooksHalloween is just around the calendar, Fall is in the air, and soon it will be time to curl up with a hot cup of tea, a cozy blanket, and a good book to read. It’s a prefect time for my month long sale on my MacNicol Clan Through Time series.

For the month of October all four ebooks of this series is on sale for only 0.99 cents at Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.  What a great time to snuggle up with handsome, hunky, Scottish warriors willing to fight for the women they love.

Book 1, A Time To Begin, introduces the series with a look at the legend of Herrick and Sophie, an early MacNicol clan chief and the fae princess who healed his heart. Every great love has a great beginning. She’s a princess of the fae. He’s destined to become chief of his clan. How on earth can they ever be together?

Book 2, A Time To Return, jumps forward a couple of generations to bring Teressa, a woman from present-day California, to the medieval world of Rory MacNicol in Scotland on the Isle of Skye.  Magic took her back in time to unite a lair with his lady.
Is magic strong enough to unite Teressa with her own true love?

Next, in Book 3, A Time To Belong, my dear readers get to meet Teressa’s brother, Daniel as another time-traveler makes their mark on the historic clan. A modern urban cowboy is swept back to 13th century Scotland where he must take control of his destiny and fight for the woman he loves.

And finally, in Book 4, A Time To Forgive, we see Daniel’s 14th century daughter, living in modern times. Bree has a centuries old grudge against the MacDonalds, while Alex MacDonald is about to discover how past lives have a way of coming back around. It’ll take a special kind of magic, and a whole lot of forgiveness, to bring these ill-fated lovers together again.

As the nights grow longer and bit colder, give yourself the gift of a warm heart with these ebook editions of The MacNicol Clan Through Time. Because who doesn’t enjoy a good love story?

Enjoy always, T

Magical Musings – We are the Wind.

We are not the ocean. We are the wind.

It is often said, as individual souls, we are like drops of water in the vast ocean of the collective consciousness. However, a drop of water can be plucked away from that ocean, lifted out, and separated. While a drop of water can easily be removed from the ocean, eventually it will float to the sky, evaporate, join a cloud, and return to the earth as rain that will once again seek to return to the ocean from whence it came. A fitting image of an individual soul, but as the collective consciousness of humanity, we are not separate. We are like the wind. Ever connected, ever changing, swirling, moving, full of energy, but always connected as a unit of One Humanity.

The wind is a living thing. It can be hot or cold, full of grit and sand, smoke and ash, or fragrant, refreshing scents. It changes from day to day, moment by moment, but always it is the wind.

Much like the collective consciousness of humanity, you cannot see the wind, but you can feel its effects as it moves across the earth. An angry, destructive force, or a calming breath of fresh air. Every breath we take, in and out, is part of the air carried in the wind. We may hold our breath for a moment, but it cannot be separated out from the air that gives us life. It must return to the collective consciousness to which it belongs.

Much like the trees that take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, we can transform the energy of our planet with every breath we take. We can breathe in anger and breath out peace. We can breathe in hate and breathe out love. Our breath, and even our lives, are transformed by our laughter, the heavy breathing of intimate love, or the labored breathing of giving birth to new life. Our breath transforms our very lives.

Regardless of what swirls through the air, I breathe out love. I breathe out peace. I breathe out kindness and consideration and acceptance for all.

We are the Wind. Be still and know, you are the Wind.

I’m Tricia Linden. I write novels that celebrate the magical and mystical power of love, romance and relationships. My desire is to entertain, uplift, and engage your heart and soul.

Magical Musings Monday – Three Little Words

So often, it just takes three little words to change our day and even our lives.

Life is good.

Look for the good and you’ll find the good, look for the bad and you’ll find the bad. If I think I’m have a bad day I only need to remind myself that…. Life is good.

Do your best.

Sometimes it helps to remember that at any given time, on any given day, I’m doing the best I can with who I am. We are all doing our best, whatever that may be. And as we all know, sometimes our best is better than others. So go out there and…. Do your best.

Go for it.

The greatest risk is the risk not taken. When fear threatens to hold us back from our greater good, it helps to push ourselves forward …. Go for it.

I love you.

Three of the most powerful words. They have the ability to change our day, and certainly our lives. Don’t hold back, say them often. Say them to yourself. Right here, right now, tell yourself ….. I love you.

Enjoy always,  T

Magical Musings Monday – Happy For No Reason

clapping handsIf you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you know, then your face will surely show it.
If you’re happy and know it, clap your hands.

A nice little children’s song. As you read those words did the melody play in your head? Of course it did. And did it lift your spirits, even just a little? I hope so.

There’s something about singing a silly song that’s just plain fun. It’s kind of like being happy for no reason. What if you sang a silly song at work?  You may want to sing it quietly to yourself, or sing it out loud, depending on your work conditions and/or your singing voice. Wouldn’t it provide a little lift to your day?

What I’m saying here, is that if you want, you can give yourself a boost and be happy at any time for no reason, just because you can.  Yes, you can. Happiness has been known to make us more productive, and of course you’ll enjoy your day more being happy than not. Also, people will like being around you more. We all like happy people.

SO…. we can drag ourselves through our day, or we can sing and be happy for no reason. I’ve done both and I’m a big fan of being happy. Sometimes I have to kinda work at being happy, like singing a happy tune, but I always feel better for it.

Some say fake it until you make it. I’m not a fan of that but I’m not against it either. I prefer to practice until I get it. Practice, practice, practice. Practice until you get it and then practice some more.

And most importantly……

Enjoy always, T

Magical Musings Monday – Looking for Love.

man with binocularsLooking for love in all the right places? Are you looking for exactly the right person at exactly the right time? Are you looking for that one special person that will make everything perfect?  If you are – good luck with that.

I’ve always been interested in relationships, and romance and have spent much of my adult life studying personal relationships in everyday life, watching to see what works and what doesn’t. In other words, I watch people and listen to what they say and watch what they do. I’ve seen people create romance, which leads to relationships, which can lead to a lot of places.

Are you looking, OR are you creating?

You can look and look and look, and maybe you’ll find, and maybe you won’t. The fastest and best way to experience anything, whether it be romance, joy, happiness or love, yes especially love, is to create. You create it and then you have it. Quick, easy, simple.

Oh, but I hear you say, it’s not so quick, easy or simple. I can’t do that, I don’t know how. There’s a saying, If you think you can’t, you’re probably right!

So, what are you thinking? If you think it’s hard, you’re right. If you think it’s easy, because after all, love is all around us, you’re right. You get to choose. Now isn’t that good news?

Don’t get me wrong. I feel your pain, your frustration. I’ve been there and have even been known to re-visit my own private hell.  Thankfully these days I keep my visits short. It doesn’t take much suffering to remind me that’s not a place I want to dwell. Makes me want to break into song….

Since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell, it’s down at the end of lonely street, at heart-break hotel.

How do you create romance? Are you open and receptive to receiving love? Are you really? The best way to find a friend, is to be a friend. Be the one who says HI when someone new walks in the door. Don’t worry about results, don’t even think about results, just think about being friendly. And if the other person chooses not to be friendly, no sweat, no problems. Don’t take it personally. They don’t know you well enough for it to be personal. It really is them, not you. So let it go – and keep going.

You want to create romance? Start small and be a friend.  Be friendly and watch. And stay open and receptive to creating the best you can be.

Enjoy always, T
