Fun and Adventure with Jude Deveraux



Days of Gold (Edilean)Days of Gold is the second novel in the Edilean Series.  I was curious about this novel since I read Scarlet Nights which is the following novel in the series.

Synopsis:

The will states that Edilean Talbot has to marry a gentleman of her choice who will inherit her gold.  Her uncle interpreted this statement a little differently and chose two men for her to marry.  Edilean makes a choice which involves the Angus McTern and not the two men.   Angus develops affection for her in their journeys, but can it blossom into love?  What will happen once they make it to America?  Will Edilean be successful there?

My Thoughts:

I looked forward to reading this book.  I did enjoy it!  I was ready to find out what happens next in the series.  I did like that this novel was not the typical historical romance where the man arrogantly pursues the female; and she quietly hates him.   I like the fact that the plot was different.   The characters of Angus and Edilean are memorable.

If you have not checked out the Edilean series by Jude Deveraux, there are many books in the series.  Days of Gold is  second novel in the series.  Scarlet Nights is the third novel in the series.   Edilean is a little town in Virginia.  The town is made up of people from Scotland.  You can go to Jude Deveraux’s website to find out more about the family tree of the McTern’s.  I am looking forward to learning more myself.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
