| Focus on Books Series |
Hello and welcome to FOCUS on BOOKS, a series sparked by my love of reading. We explore fascinating, familiar, and new worlds created by authors.
Every third Wednesday of the month, join us for a celebration of storytelling—spotlighting books, conversing with guest authors, and sharing my reading recommendations. Giveaways, surprises, and games will add to the fun.
I am pleased to introduce you to my friend and creative author, Eden Monroe, in this last episode of the Focus on Books Series for the season. In her historical fiction novels, Eden uses her imagination to make her characters come alive against a well-researched background of the 1870s.
Welcome, Eden! Congratulations on releasing the second novel in the Kavenaghs Series. Your first book in the series, Bound for Somewhere captured me for sure.
Why did you write the Kavenagh series?
Many thanks, Janet, for this opportunity to meet your readers and tell them about the Kavenagh series.
When Shadows Stir is the second book in the series, The Kavenaghs. The temporal setting is 1870-1879, and I’ve come to enjoy writing historical pieces. I wrote this book because I like to read suspense with romantic elements, and male lead Brogan Kavenagh running for his life was particularly intriguing. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I, as the author, was only along for the ride.

I had to smile at Eden's last line--I, as the author, was only along for the ride.
Yes, those characters can lead writers off on a different trail than where they planned to go.
I'm looking forward to reading When Shadows Stir. Each novel in the series is a stand-alone story.

Tall, proud and handsome male lead, Brogan Kavenagh, grew up fast and hard. Determined to defend the disgraced Kavenagh name, his refusal to back down earned him the reputation of a brawler. However, despite his rough and rowdy ways, Brogan met and married the love of his life, Maggie. A strong female lead who stands by her man, there are no holds barred when her husband is framed for murder.
Brogan has no choice but to run for his life, and is shot by the sheriff during the manhunt that follows. In an unexpected stroke of good fortune he meets Tilda Loughty, a spirited young woman who saves his life.
But perjuring witnesses and the gallows await. How can he possibly prove his innocence in this historical romantic suspense set in beautiful Eastern Canada?

The Focus on Book Series will resume this fall. Thanks to the authors and readers who have visited this site for the series. Please come on back to this blog in October for more amazing authors and their books.
In the meantime, you can catch me at my Substack page every Wednesday discussing books, a writer's life, and storytelling.
What is Substack? Substack is a publishing platform similar to a newsletter from the writer who can publish their information in articles, podcasts, video, and audio formats. Readers can join each page, like mine is JQ's Substack, by following or subscribing for a free or paid subscription. My page will always be FREE.
I love exploring the writers on Substack. Some are celebrities, some are beginners, and some are seasoned authors. The information can be humorous, thoughtful, and informative. In fact, I can spend hours there because of the diversity. I have not come across hateful, mean writing on Substack.
Thank you for your support.
