Men in Kilts

Thanks Joanna! Great to be here with The Pop Culture Divas!

Kilts.

Yeah, baby! You heard me. I’m writing today about men in kilts and why they automatically get a +20 in charisma. Why is it that women start foaming at the mouth at the thought? I know when I see a guy in a kilt, I smile. No matter whom it is.… Sean Connery? One of the originals. Ewan McGregor? Dreamy…Gerard Butler? Omg…  Kevin McKidd? Drool worthy...Adrian Paul? Smokin.

Maybe it’s the rugged Highlander fantasy a lot of us are after, or its just knowing what that is under there….or not under there… makes me giddy. Perhaps it’s what we as the American culture has built the Scots up to be – something out of a science fiction movie (There can be only one,) or screaming “Freedom!” right before he gets disemboweled.

They’ve got balls.

Wait, that sounds terrible.
They’ve got strength, power, ambition, and the ability to survive with their junk in the breeze. They’ll stand up for their true love and what they believe in, risk their necks (there can only be one)…all in a kilt.

So many of our heroes are clad in kilts. From the bonny hills of Scotland to the lowlands of England. From New York to California. It’s a worldwide phenomenon. Guys in Kilts just rock.

Heck, in my latest release, DEVIL IN A RED KILT, it’s a mixed martial arts guy named Evan MacDonald from Virginia. See, he, and his wife, Evie, have been married for over a decade and things have gone sour. She’s handed over divorce papers and he refuses to let go.

Not his Evie.

Evan’s been hearing things out in the woods and when he finally goes out to check, he gets sucked back into the 13th century… In a Kilt.

Evie manages to follow, but they aren’t aware the other is there. They’re on opposite sides of the Isle of Skye, and in opposite families who are feuding with each other. Somehow, they have to manage to right their world in the past to make it back to their home in Virginia.
Evan shows his ambition, drive, power, and strength to get back home to his beloved… all in a kilt.

Thanks to JoJo for letting me hang out on the Pop Culture Divas Today. It’s been great.

DEVIL IN A RED KILT:

Their Happily Ever After
Deserved a Second Chance …

For more than twenty years, Evan and Evie MacDonald were the couple “meant to be.” Their marriage now in tatters, they throw one final family Halloween party to honor Evie’s recently deceased mother. But, as Evan’s hand hovers over divorce papers, the ancient Celtic secrets Evie’s mother always spoke of spring to life.

Transported in flames to thirteenth-century Scotland, Evie and Evan land on opposite sides of the feud raging between Clans MacDonald and McLeod. Dubbed the Red Devil, Evan’s skills as a leader and warrior bring him into the enemy camp—and back to Evie. Now, faced with an ancient evil they never imagined, the two must rekindle the “forever and ever” kind of love they once felt, and bargain for a bit of Fae magic to flip the hourglass right side up again—before time runs out.
