Book Description
A deadly game of war entangles them. Deception endangers them. Only the impossible love found in each other’s arms can save them. Fierce Scottish warrior Robert the Bruce would do anything to release his country from English rule—and claim his rightful throne. As enemies on both sides surround him, Robert must dance a dangerous line between truth and duplicity. One misstep could topple his nation and cost him his life, yet one irresistible woman tempts him—and threatens his mission—as no other ever has. Bold beautiful Elizabeth de Burgh longs for freedom. So when she finds herself ordered by the King of England to seduce the leader of the Scottish rebellion and reveal his secrets, she yearns to fight back against their cruel plot. Except they’ve threatened to kill her beloved cousin, leaving her no choice but to comply. As she grows closer to the handsome noble Robert and the mask that hides the man who would be king is peeled away, she cannot imagine aiding in his destruction. Bound by duty and honor but ensnared by uncontainable passion, Robert and Elizabeth must determine if they are each other’s biggest threat or greatest source of strength and how much they are willing to sacrifice for the one thing neither ever imagine they’d find – extraordinary love.

Book Description
The iconic figure of Robert the Bruce has gone down through the centuries as one of the most remarkable leaders of all time. With equal parts tenacity and ruthlessness, he had himself crowned King of Scotland after murdering one of his most powerful rivals, and so began the rule of an indomitable military genius unafraid of breaking convention, and more than a few English heads. Indeed, it was under the leadership of King Robert that the Battle of Bannockburn took place – a famous victory snatched by a tiny Scots force against a larger, supposedly more sophisticated English foe. In King and Outlaw medieval expert Chris Brown explores the life of Robert the Bruce, whose remarkable history has merged with legend, and reveals the true story of the outlaw king.

Book Description
Here is a story that has lain dormant for seven hundred years. At first it was suppressed by one of the Plantagenet kings of England. Later it was forgotten. I happened to dig it up by accident. The accident being the relationship of my wife's cousin to a certain Father Superior in a very ancient monastery in Europe. He let me pry about among a quantity of mildewed and musty manuscripts and I came across this. It is very interesting -- partially since it is a bit of hitherto unrecorded history, but principally from the fact that it records the story of a most remarkable revenge and the adventurous life of its innocent victim -- Richard, the lost prince of England. In the retelling of it I have left out most of the history. What interested me was the unique character about whom the tale revolves -- the visored horseman who -- but let us wait until we get to him. It all happened in the thirteenth century, and while it was happening it shook England from north to south and from east to west; and reached across the channel and shook France...

Book Description
Winners write history. But they don't just embellish their life stories; sometimes they make sure they get away with murder.In the first part of her ground-breaking biography of Robert the Bruce, historian Dr Fiona Watson tells the shocking true story of a man who would stop at nothing to wear the Scottish crown. Descended from Norman stock but educated partly in the Gaelic world, Bruce inherited great estates in Scotland, England and Ireland, as well as an unswerving belief in his family's claim to the throne. Every move he made in the turbulent times that followed the outbreak of war between Scotland and England was designed to bring him closer to that goal and, in his desire to seize an opportunity, he was little different from his ancestors and many of the men he grew up with. It was the lengths to which Robert Bruce was prepared to go to fulfil what he saw as his destiny that stood him apart.But he was not the only one with ambitions. John Comyn of Badenoch not only had more influence, more military experience and better leadership credentials, he too had a claim to the Scottish throne. If Bruce wanted to be king, then Comyn had to die. But in murdering his rival and seizing the crown, King Robert unleashed a bloody desire for vengeance not just among the English but many of his own people. Defeated and all but deserted, he vanished into the Western Isles. Few expected him to return and fewer still that he would come back a changed man, a king reborn.

Book Description
Synopsis Josephine Lilliwhite, a middle-aged woman with a quiet demeanor and a curious past happened upon love and motherhood late in life. In her early 40's she found herself starting over with a new man, a new home, and a 2nd son on the way. It seemed she'd finally found some light. With that light came the dark. When her jealous ex hears about Josephine's newfound joy, his anger can only be sated by her death. As he whispers, "Congratulations" into her forgiving ear, he spits a bullet from his unforgiving gun. He leaves her for dead but Josephine has other plans. She decides not to end. She promises her family to begin, to rise and to return as the Outlaw King. Josephine heals anonymously deep inside the pulpy-noir haunts she grew up in: biker bars, betty brothels and the borrowed beds of the broken-hearted. In her kingdom, the landscape of the Inland Empire is as much a character as the Saint, the Monster, Cortez the Killer, The Black Knight Beauties & the Pennybrides. All hail Josephine Reviews "Many writers of crime fiction are giving their characters an ever growing laundry list of quirks to distract the reader from the age old tropes their characters embody. Jeannette Kantzalis has gone a different route, she writes her characters large, mythic, archetypal. Her protagonist, Josephine Lillywhite, is not a femme fatale, she is THE femme fatale, she is ALL femme fatales. The Saint, the Monster and other archetypes act out their parts in her novel as well. Kantzalis has visited a wellspring of crime fiction that predates Thompson, Chandler, Doyle or even Poe, and she has returned with these symbol laden characters and placed them in a contemporary milieu with a feminine slant. This is a must read for any fan of the genre." -Neil McCrea, Author & Poet, writer of the Pushcart Prize nominated poetry collection Wisdom & Dust "JOSEPHINE THE OUTLAW KING is a blast of hardboiled goodness set in a present-day wild west filled with sudden violence and even deeper passions. Jeannette Kantzalis writes prose that wraps its unflinching hand around your guts and won't let go. Like the endangered lovers in her relentless yet compassionate story, this lyrical book waits for you..." - Jeff Vintar , Screenwriter, I, Robot "In a voice as authentic as it is vivid, in language supple, elastic and gritty as the landscape it depicts, this is a love story, an adventure, a yarn unlike any other. Josephine's kingdom awaits. Consider yourself fortunate." -Akshat Verma, writer/director, Delhi Belly "Jeannette Kantzalis' prose are lyrical genius with a clear balance of emotion and life experience. The cadence of her words resemble a Bukowski like voice that captivates readers." -Erica Szilagyi, Associate Professor of English Literature, La Sierra University
