My first novel, In Sunshine
or in Shadow, will soon be available from Highland Press. It’s a
once-in-a-lifetime, destined-to-be-together love story set in Ballycashel, a
small village in Galway, Ireland. The famine that ravaged the land is over, but
the scars it left behind linger. Let me tell you a little about it:
Siobhán Desmond has survived
famine, tyranny and betrayal. With the coming of winter and faint hope for
survival, she will do anything to keep the tattered remains of her family alive,
even if it means working for the new landlord – a darkly handsome stranger with
secrets in his eyes and pain in his smile.
The stakes are high for one-time gambler Rory O'Brien as he returns to the
village of Ballycashel after a lifetime in exile. But will the village that
haunts his childhood offer salvation for Rory and his daughter? Or will the
ghosts of his past and old enemies destroy the new life he’s come to love?
As danger ignites all around them, Rory and Siobhán must fight to right the
wrongs of the past – and protect their newfound love.
Coffee Time Romance calls
In Sunshine or in Shadow
“a classic romance
told in a sweetly old fashioned way. The characters are nicely well rounded and
classically Irish.” ( 3 cups.)
And Author Maggie Davis,
aka Katherine Deauxville, says: “If
you adore the stormy heroes of "Wuthering
Heights" and "Jane Eyre" (and who doesn't?) you'll be entranced by Cynthia
Owens' passionate story of Ireland after the Great Famine . . . Highly
recommended for those who love classic romance and an action-packed story.”
