The Wranglers are pleased to welcome Louise Lyndon to the round corral. Louise grew up in country Victoria,
Australia, before moving to England, where for sixteen years she soaked up the
vibrancy of London and the medieval history of England. She has since returned
to Australia and now lives in Melbourne.
It seems everyone has a list of things they want to do
before they do. I thought I would do something a little different and list seven
things I hope I NEVER do before I die.
In 2013, Louise won first prize in
the historical romance category of the Crested Butte Sandy Writing Contest for
her story, The Promise, which has since been retitled and is now known as, Of
Love & Vengeance.
When not writing, Louise can be found
covered in mud, crawling under barbed wire and hoisting herself over twelve
foot walls!
In no particular order:
1. Run naked down the street. It’s not going to happen. Ever.
2.
Throw
myself out of a plane. I hate flying at the best of times. Why would I want
to throw myself out of one? Willingly?
3.
Enter a
lion’s den with raw meat strapped to my body. I’m adventurous. Not crazy.
4.
Wear
socks with sandals. That’s not a good look.
5.
Pick up a
spider. Nope. Sorry. I try to avoid anything that has more legs than me.
6.
Go scuba
diving. I’m one of these people who won’t go any deeper than my calves when
I go to the beach. Hey, I live in Australia and we have sharks! Why would I
willingly go in to their territory? I’m too much of a chicken.
7.
Go on a
reality TV show. The thought of being in a house full of strangers with
cameras on me 24/7, or trying to find Mr. Right by competing with 21 other
girls for one guy, well, it doesn’t appeal to me. I like my privacy.
Of Love and Betrayal by
Louise Lyndon
BLURB:
Aveline de Bondeville is on the run.
Determined to keep out of the hands of the cruel Raimbaut de
Blois she will do
whatever it takes to stay alive. And so when she finds herself in the company
of Troy de Gysborne she must quickly decide if she can trust him. But can she
confess to murder knowing it would mean her certain death?
Troy de Gysborne did the unthinkable; he tore the bonds of brotherhood and left a path of destruction in his wake. And now Troy must face those he betrayed, including the father who long ago renounced him. But to confess to the crime he committed will cost him everything. Including Aveline. But can he remain silent if it means losing the woman he loves?

But can he remain silent if it means losing the woman he loves?
Excerpt:
Aveline’s scream burned her throat; she tasted
blood. Eudes staggered forward, his eyes wide. He looked at her as he fell to
his knees and then slumped forward. Bright red blood rushed from his wound and
pooled on the ground. She looked at Raimbaut.
“This time
you shall not escape.”
She picked up
her skirts and ran headlong into the forest and did not slow her speed as
branches slapped her in the face and tore at her arms. The ground beneath her
feet was icy and uneven. She risked a glance over her shoulder and did not stop
even though Raimbaut was nowhere to be seen. He may not have been behind her,
but it did not mean he was not stalking her.
Sweat
trickled down her face and burned her eyes. Her heart pumped, her lungs gasped
for air. She came to a skidding stop and looked wildly around. Should she keep
running straight, go left or right, or make her way back to Gysborne? She
turned in a circle and shoved her hair from her eyes.
A twig
snapped behind her. She stilled and held her breath. Out of the corner of her
eye, she saw a blur rush by. Was it an animal? Was it Raimbaut?
She ignored
the pain in her chest and her sudden need to loosen her bladder. But she could
not ignore her trembling. She clutched her arms to her chest. A sour taste
flooded her mouth as she did not see how she would be lucky enough a second
time to escape from Raimbaut.
