Escape to the romance of Edinburgh and discover a story filled with passion, longing, and the courage to fight for what matters most.
PRAISE FOR THE RED ROSE
The Red Rose has a little something to do with Scottish folk songs, so I’ve made a writing playlist. I make one for every book I write, but since this is directly related to the story, I thought I’d share. For all you ethnomusicologists out there, yes, I know I’ve mixed in some Irish music, but, there’s a lot of overlap between the two. So if I like it, I included it. If you like what you hear, support the artists by buying their music.
