Cornelia Amiri draws on her love of history and fifteen years of research on the ancient Celts, to write tales of long swords, hot heroes, and warrior women. Ms. Amiri is the author of four Celtic/Romance novels, The Fox Prince, The Vixen Princess, Danger Is Sweet, and One Heart One Way, published with Awe-Struck e-books. The latter was a finalist in the EPPIE 2004 Contest, the premier award for electronically published authors . She has an Amazon Short entitled Conquest which is now available and her next Celtic/Romance novel with Awe Struck, Druid Quest, will be released in the fall of 2008. Over a hundred of her short stories and articles have appeared in both print and on-line magazines. She lives in Houston, Texas with her wonderful son.
In first century AD Britannia, after burning the oaken groves and the druid priest, the cold, cruel Romans move to crush Queen Boudica’s revolt. The future of the mist covered isle and its brave people rest in the hands of two druids whose views are as different as fire and ice. Yet they find love together.
Arch Druid Rhys is a master of the sacred mysteries but a novice in the ways of the heart. Sulwen, a sacred druidess, discovers Rhys, the shape shifter, has evoked a basic, feral desire in her, only to find the goddess may soon exact the unfathomable price of taking him from her. Though their love is as potent as their magic, is it strong enough to survive their desperate quest?
Review
" If you enjoy reading about the Celts, don't miss this story…DRUID QUEST is a fantastic look into the life of the Ancient Celts. Cornelia Amiri has definitely done her research before she ever put fingers to keyboard on this one, and it shows." ~ Reviewed by Chere Gruber of Paranormal/Romance
The Vixen Princess
The Blurb
Nesta, a fiery, voluptuous, middle-aged widow,
decides instead of settling down what she needs is action. So with her dead
husband Gwydion's sword in hand, she fights Saxons with the new war
leader a 15-year-old lad named Arthur. King Arthur's champion, Mabon, gave
up on a family long ago to dedicate his life to king and country.
But to Mabon's horror, Gwydion's ghost is called forth
from the grave on a quest to bring the sword-wielding widow together
with the dark, muscular warrior, and open their locked hearts with the
magic of love. Will these two warriors fight falling in love as hard as
they battle Saxons? Will love win in the end or has it met its match with
two hardened warrior hearts?
The Reviews
"The Vixen Princess is delightful read that will draw
readers into the story from the first page with Lady Nesta’s
declaration of fighting alongside Arthur and his men. Readers will laugh aloud at
some of the antics of the ghost of Gwydion and Mabon’s reactions. Ms.
Amiri does a superb job developing the storyline and characters while
adding a few moments of humor. The battle scenes are not gory but will
leave readers chanting for King Arthur and his people. Lady Nesta’s
character although very headstrong is not overly so but just enough to prove
women can endure and survive battle. Mabon is not a typical historical
hero who scoffs at a woman’s attempt to fight but instead embraces
Nesta’s ability to honor her late husband. Fans of historical romance will
not want to miss The Vixen Princess for it is well deserving of its
Recommended Read status!"
