Veronica Bale author A Noble Deception @VeronicaBale1 #RLFblog #HistFic
Veronica Bale author of A Noble Deception answers five easy questions to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
Veronica Bale has written several novellas, short stories, and news articles as a freelance writer. With her Highland Loyalties trilogy she made her debut into the world of historical romance novels. Veronica lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband, young son and two spoiled cats. When she’s not writing she’s running, reading, spending time with her family, or hopelessly lost in the cobbles of Coronation Street.What is your go-to meal when you dine out?This may not technically count, since I’ve only had it twice, but let it suffice to say that it’s my new go-to meal. It’s called Dubblin Coddle, and if you haven’t had it, you must try it! It’s a creamy bacon and sausage stew that tastes like loaded potato skins, and it’s been a staple of Irish cuisine for as long as anyone can remember. I discovered Dublin Coddle when I tried a little Irish pub called The Snug in the small town of Newcastle Ontario. I was immediately hooked. Since that fateful day three weeks ago, I’ve been back twice more. My family agrees unilaterally that it’s our new go-to pub, and Dublin Coddle is my new go-to meal!Describe the perfect vacation.My perfect vacation? Why, Scotland, of course! I’ve been twice, and I dream of returning at least once a week. Travelling the Highland countryside, visiting small villages, and taking in all that history suits me perfectly. Lots of time for quiet reflection, for writing, and for reading, all in my favourite setting. What more could one ask for out of a vacation?Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.Gah … this is embarrassing to admit, but I kind of still have it. It’s not a toy, really, it’s my baby blanket. It was once yellow. It once had a cartoon tiger imprinted on it. It once had evenly distributed stuffing. Now, twenty-nine (and holding) years later, I must have my “little blanket” to sleep with, tucked under my cheek, or I won’t sleep well. I have no intention of giving it up, and fully expect to be buried with it. My husband has long ago reconciled himself to having to compete with a blanket for my affections.What are your hobbies?Besides reading and writing? I’m an avid knitter. It’s such a relaxing hobby. Everyone’s into Mandala right now, but I turn to knitting for stress reduction. I also love to run. Being outside in the fresh air and pounding the pavement with my headphones on – there’s nothing better.When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?I’m a voracious reader, and I love the written word in all its forms. When I read for pleasure, I go through phases. Right now, I’m in a Chick Lit groove. Last year, I had a bit of a thing for Dickens. And at some point (I don’t quite recall when), I was switching back and forth between Game of Thrones and heavy non-fiction tomes on topics ranging from The Troubles, to the first world war, to the culinary landscape of Marie Antoinette’s court.About the Book

to repel overeager gentlemen callers without ever revealing the real reason she
won’t say yes to an offer of marriage. When neighbor Walter George jumps to her
defense against slurs cast by suitor number twelve, he also pries into her past—uncovering
the circumstances around a tragic loss in her childhood and her aversion to
being touched by anyone. But even protective Walter must be kept at a distance
for his own good, because despite a growing attraction between them, Melanie
must deny him too.Unlike other men his age in Brighton, Walter George hadn’t
considered Melanie Merton for a wife because he was convinced he’d never have a
chance to impress his haughty neighbor. But that was before he understood her
better, before he uncovered why she kept friends and suitors alike at bay. The
right husband could restore the woman he sees into some semblance of the
fun-loving child of his memory, but would Walter stand a chance or become just
another unlucky suitor?Buy This BookAmazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01326C24ABarnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/miss-mertons-last-hope-heather-boyd/1122449414?ean=2940152322187iBooks http://bit.ly/MMLHiBooksAuthor Social MediaWebsite http://heather-boyd.com/Twitter http://twitter.com/Heather_BoydMailing List http://goo.gl/1VMbtoAmazon Author Page http://www.amazon.com/Heather-Boyd/e/B003O9ENX4/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1 -

this book?Passions in the Dust is set mostly on a cattle station in

genre to read?I enjoy both a good romance and a good murder mystery.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?Atticus Finch from To Kill a MockingbirdWhat are you working
on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?Currently working on ‘Lust & Chastity’ which is my own
take on one of the seven deadly sins and heavenly virtues. But I also two other scripts currently being
looked at by publishers.Please tell us about
your latest book.Ella

life of servitude she’d been forced into, as well as the lover, Seth Kenner,
who had so coldly deserted her. Never
could she have imaged that it was Seth who had sent for her.Again
being drawn into Seth’s life, Ella finds herself surrendering to passion, and
experiencing pleasures in the Australian outback that she had only ever dreamed
of.These

had worked so hard to achieve. Together
they must fight bush fires, cattle rustlers, poisoned stock and a wife and
