Kat Hennessey is a writer looking for the right cat and the right man. Cary Rodrigo Grant is the most eligible man Kat's met in a cat's age. Kat has a lot of worries. There's the Great American Novel she's writing that won't come together in her mind, there's the sneaky student slut seeking to steal her husband Cary, there's the Faculty Wives Committee that wants her to get excited about evergreens. And then there's the crack in the basement wall of her house, and what she and her Burmese cat O'Leary find when they go through it into alternative realities . . . everything from giant rats to vampires to ancient Roman assassins to a two-headed fire-breathing Etruscan monster. Cat and Kat form a tight feline/human bond as they leap from one adventure to another. And soon they suspect that if they can get out through the crack in the basement wall, something seriously unpleasant can get in . . . All cats are nice, and some cats are special, and one was the most special of all, my pal O'Leary. -- Kat Hennessey

The White Rose of Scotland

Contemporary

Dorcas Carrothers is a shy, sweet rug designer from Minneapolis's placid Linden Hills. Angus Alexandre MacLachlan MacQuirter is a gorgeous, goofy writer from Quebec, half French, half Scottish. Dressed in a kilt for a publicity photo, Angus rescues Dorcas when her car slides into un ravin horrible on the Cabot Trail in the Cape Breton Highlands. Woozy from her accident, romance novel reader Dorcas thinks she's gone through a time-space warp back into medieval Scotland, for Angus is a fantasy, nay, a dream come true: A genuine cinnamon-haired Scottish barbarian in living color and fully kilted. "Are you going to ravish me?" Dorcas gasped, totally befuddled. He blinked. Then his mouth quirked into a grin. "A charming idea..."  Ayoille! Laissez le bon temps rouler!

Magic Carpet Ride

He heard things sometimes . . . 
Bonnie Prince Jamie felt that prickling presentiment in the back of his neck that meant something weird was about to happen. Slowly, softly, a mist was beginning to rise around the wildflower patch. The mist thickened and began to separate into wisps resembling human forms. Another shape appeared, taller and more solid. Its ghostly arms lifted and ghostly hands raised a long narrow shape to a ghostly mouth. 
And then the music started. 
Jamie fought back against the music's lure, terrified that at any minute he'd be able to hear - and understand - what They wanted, and knowing his sanity would not survive that knowledge. 
Ghostly wisps on Eilean Dubh? Talking seals? Fairies in Caisteal Mac an Rìgh? An evil property developer lusting for the Island's beautiful coastline? An archaeologist lusting for a Mesolithic site? A newspaper editor lusting for the archaeologist? 
As Jean Mac an Righ would say, "Whatever next?" Or would say were she not busy leading a women's sit-in to stop the bulldozers, having Darroch's baby by torchlight, or wowing the crowd at the Celtic Folk Festival.
A Dhia beannaich mi! It's all happening, on the quiet little Dark Island.
