With
Australian winter just around the corner I broke out the knitting needles and
made myself a new hoodie cardigan. I don’t knit very often and some of the
terminology and fancy stitches meant I ended up looking at knitting videos on
line so I could figure out what I needed do. Where would we be without online
crafting resources these days?
All that
information is at the tips of my fingers (or it is when my internet connection
is working). It wasn’t that long ago that I would’ve had to go to the library
to get a book in knitting and work it out from photographs. I’m lucky enough to
have a good library—which I use on a regular basis when researching as it
doesn’t pay to just rely on what is online.
While
I’m not the quickest knitter I did manage to finish the cardi in time for the
cooler weather (it doesn’t ever get really cold where I live in Perth, Western
Australia but we do complain when it gets to 10C/50F because we’re so used to
the heat).
There is
a scene in Warrior of Fire where the heroine is wearing flip flops and a coat
because it’s cold…I see that quite a bit and it always makes me smile as the
body loses a lot of heat through the feet and head. But that is how many people
dress for winter here.
This is
my cardi. Variegated wool is my favorite and my youngest kid picked out the
crayon buttons because they were bright and I’m an author J. Every time I’ve worn it gets a
lot of comments.

Is theirs a love match?
For Leira Venn, her future is a given
foretold by the oracle of the Albah, the ancient people she was born
to. Which is why she knows from the moment she meets Dr. Julian Ryder
that he is fated to be hers. But nothing else about the prophecy
feels right. For the handsome doctor is shrouded by darkness, and
intimately involved with a woman who seems intent on killing Leira …
Or a death wish?
Sorrow has shadowed Julian Ryder for as
long as he can remember. But from the moment he meets lovely Leira,
his heart is filled with hope for the future—a future that is as
combustible as the powerful attraction between them. For Leira is
marked for death by the very forces who killed his mother. The very
darkness that stole everything he held most dear. Only this time,
Julian is stronger, more in control of his powers than ever. But will
it be enough to save Leira from those who would destroy her?
