HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022
I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. For those impacted by the massive fire in Colorado’s Boulder County before the new year, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as you recover from the devasting loss. Sad events like this give us pause to embrace the moments of happiness that we share with family and friends.
It had been my hope to release Skull’s Vengeance (Curse of Clansmen and Kings Book 4) in 2021, but the story grew bigger and the characters insisted that I take a different direction from what I had originally planned. Below is an update on where I am in the process of publishing the book.
SKULL’S VENGEANCE UPDATE
The manuscript of Skull’s Vengeance is in the final stages of completion and will be forwarded to my editor by the end of March. After that, I will make the editor’s suggested changes and have the book formatted for publishing. Before I release the book (anticipated in Fall), I will invite my subscribers and other authors/readers to be part of my advance review and/or launch team. More information on these activities will be provided closer to launch.
Below are highlights of Skull’s Vengeance.
HIGHLIGHTS SKULL’S VENGEANCE
Skull’s Vengeance
(Curse of Clansmen and Kings Book 4)
by Linnea Tanner
(Blurb)
A Celtic warrior queen must ultimately sacrifice what is most precious to her to vanquish her half-brother and reclaim the throne.
AS FORETOLD BY HER FATHER in a vision, Catrin has become a battle-hardened warrior after her trials in Rome’s legion and gladiatorial games. To fulfill her destiny, Catrin must return to Britannia and pull the cursed dagger out of the serpent’s stone. Only then can she unleash the magic of the Druids to destroy her evil half-brother, the powerful sorcerer, King Marrock. Always two steps ahead and seemingly unstoppable, Marrock uses his power to summon destructive natural forces to crush any rival who tries to stop him.
To have the slightest chance of beating Marrock, Catrin must forge alliances with former enemies, but she needs someone she can trust. Seeking military aid from Marcellus, her secret Roman husband, is her only option, which rekindles their burning passion for one another. But Marcellus must play a deadly game in the political firestorm of the Julio-Claudian dynasty to support Catrin’s cause.
In order to destroy King Marrock and take back her kingdom. Catrin must align herself with a Dark Druidess, but she could ultimately lose her heart and soul for the price of the kingdom. Can she strike vengeance against Marrock with a secret weapon from the Otherworld?

Posted at 20:43h, 10 MarchI CANNOT WAIT! I am giddy with anticipation. I’m sure it’s going to be an awesome book. You are such a creative writer. I love Catrin and can’t wait to see what she does next.

Posted at 23:13h, 10 MarchHi Anjanett–I’m also excited about finishing Skull’s Vengeance. I’ve made some significant revisions to the storyline from what I originally drafted. Some of the Celtic warriors from the earlier books will be joining Catrin’s army. The political intrigue expands with Marcellus in Rome. A new character to watch out for is Gawain, Marrock’s assassin. Once I get the finished manuscript to the copy editor (hopefully by April), more details will be coming out. I greatly appreciate your comments.
