Fate's Monolith and Destiny's Denial are NOW available in print. These are the first and second novels in my trilogy which tell the tale of the unending connection between the Mac’Lomain and Broun Clans. Within the three novels the reader travels between the medieval period, colonial period and present day. Book three, SYLVAN'S MIST, is coming soon.EXCITING NEWS! My latest work Highland Muse is part of a fantastic new Anthology titled Song of the Muses. It is available NOW digitally. Also, Song of the Muses: Books 1-3 are available now in print. Interested in learning more? Just swing over to my website SkyPurington.com and click on Muse Anthology! Above all, my son is my greatest interest. Still a toddler, he's a beautiful addition to my life! When I'm not busy entertaining him, I'm reading or writing. Travel has always been a passion. Thus far I've visited Italy, Portugal, Spain, France, England, Germany, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Canada, Puerto Rico, Venezuala, Aruba and Barbadoes. I've seen enough of the world to realize that it's an amazing place. So much history and culture! People in general interest me as well. Having spent many years in the restaurant business, I've met enough characters to fill fifty novels. I spent a great deal of my childhood playing in the woods of New Hampshire and developed a love for nature. Somewhere between the oaks and elms, rivers and foliage, my young imagination found magic. So the three will combine in my stories. History, romance and magic.
Music
Movies
I enjoy a variety of movies though tend to drift toward those rich with history and warriors. Some that come to mind include Gladiator, Stigmata, 300, Kingdom Of Heaven, Last Of The Mohicans, The Godfather and of course, Braveheart.
Television
Books
Wow, this is a category I could fill a thousand pages with. Oddly enough, though I love to write paranormal, it's by far not the only thing I like to read. I spent five years addicted to fantasy fiction, Dragon Lance series and such. Now, it's all romance. Right off the top I've got my nose in every book put out by Lisa Kleypas, Christina Dodd, Teresa Medeiros, Linda Howard and Christine Feehan. I'm an addict, there's just so much talent out there! I do drift in the direction of anything historical, Scottish Highlands, Regency, etc.. I find that if the writer engages me and I can't help but turn to the next page, the book is a winner!

Who I'd like to meet: Melpomene, muse of Tragedy, has loved before, but not like this. Not so thoroughly it blinds her, tears her from her path, her obligation to mankind. A warrior of Scotland, one she watched grow from a boy to a man, claims her heart with his self-sacrifice, courage. She’ll not let him perish, die defending another. Stepping in, defying fate, defying her father, Zeus, Melpomene risks all.
Rowan Stewart, of the royal house, is immersed within a whirlwind of disbelief, struggling to understand the woman responsible for his odd outcome, his misplaced life. But promises were made, destiny yet sealed, and Ares, God of War, seeks him. Caught within a vortex of Scottish politics, Greek Gods, and newfound desire, Rowan and Melpomene are doomed to separate, wallow in eternal despair. Will love surpass? Give them each other? Or will tragedy reign without its muse and rip them apart forever?Chiomara Ruadh, Druidess of Ulster, will not be swayed from prophecy. If the Gods of Ireland request that she couple with the king, so be it. If it is also their wish that he marry another woman, who is Chiomara, a simple Druid, to stand in their way?
Erc Breac, king of the Dal’Raida, can only think of Chiomara. Her beauty is surreal and the tales that follow her across the land unsurpassed. But that is not enough when faced with the obligations of a king. His future wife and queen, Macha, must come first. Yet, fate is a slippery thing. Will Erc risk the whole of his kingdom for what lays in his heart?Arianna Broun, a Scottish born colonial American has been haunted by the reoccurring dream of a phantom Scottish warrior. Her infatuation with the dream intensifies until All Hallows’ Eve, when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. After several bizarre encounters she runs to her safe haven deep in the woods. When dawn comes too early, Arianna is eager to go home. But fate has other plans.
Laird Iain Mac’Lomain has long awaited the arrival of his promised bride. She claims to not be the woman intended for him but she fits the description given him of her, all fire and defiance. That defiance will end up costing them everything and rips them apart. However, a Scottish Chieftain with magic at his disposal is capable of most anything. Will he hold Arianna in his arms again or is she lost to him forever? Only time will tell.Caitlin Seavey relives the same nightmare every night for three years. Then one day, the dream seeps into reality when an ethereal Scotsman visits. Horrified, she confides in her grandmother who then gives her a two hundred year old novel titled Fate’s Monolith. It tells the tale of her distant relative’s journey to medieval Scotland and can only be a myth. When Caitlin discovers a family heirloom in the attic she soon learns the book is based on truth.
Chieftain Ferchar Mac’Lomain found what he was looking for. Caitlin. He should have left her alone. For to bring her to Cowal will wreak disaster, a foreseen threat to both himself and his clan. As a visionary, it’s his obligation to protect her. As a man, he’s determined to ignore his heart. Can he thwart his destiny? Or will he forever be a slave to the Gods of old.Coira O'Donnell refuses to acknowledge the Scotsman haunting her. Why should she? She carries no magic and she's newly engaged. Well aware of the mysterious tie between the medieval Mac'Lomains and her mother's clan, the Brouns, Coira will have no part of it. She much prefers a proper English gentleman to a barbarian living six hundred years in the past. However, as one whirlwind day will prove, she has little choice in the matter.
Chieftain William Mac'Lomain did not call her back, yet she arrives. Coira is not the woman meant for him. Or is she? Her arrival marks the start of a highland war unlike any Scotland has witnessed before, one born of magic. Soon, he finds himself in a tangled web of duty, loyalty and unexpected love. A love so unattainable and powerful it may cost him the war; and his heart.Nine romance authors come together to write a muse anthology unlike any other. The first book is available in print now!
