I sure hope your Spring has started off with a splash (no pun intended due to all the rain we've been having LOL!). It's been an active one for me with family fun, travelling, dance competitions, SpringFling Romance blog hop and well everything else I do but I'm lovin it!
Anyway...today we shine the spotlight on fellow Pelican Book Group author, Christine Lindsay and her Twilight of the British Raj series!
Christine Lindsay was born in Ireland, and is proud of the fact that she
was once patted on the head by Prince Philip when she was a baby. Her great
grandfather, and her grandfather—yes father and son—were both riveters on the
building of the Titanic. Tongue in
cheek, Christine states that as a family they accept no responsibility for the
sinking of that infamous ship.
It was stories of her ancestors who served in the British Cavalry in
Colonial India that inspired her Multi-award-winning, historical series
Twilight of the British Raj. Book 1 Shadowed
in Silk, Book 2 Captured by Moonlight,
and the finale Veiled at Midnight.
Christine also has titles published by Pelican Book Group. Londonderry Dreaming and soon to be
released Sofi’s Bridge.
Christine makes her home in British Columbia, on the west coast of
Canada with her husband and their grown up family. Her cat Scottie is chief
editor on all Christine’s books.

SHADOWED IN SILK
(Book 1 of series Twilight of the British Raj
She was
invisible to those who should have loved her.
After
the Great War, Abby Fraser returns to India with her small son, where her
husband is stationed with the British army. She has longed to go home to the
land of glittering palaces and veiled women . . . but Nick has become a cruel
stranger. It will take more than her American pluck to survive.
Major
Geoff Richards, broken over the loss of so many of his men in the trenches of
France, returns to his cavalry post in Amritsar. But his faith does little to
help him understand the ruthlessness of his British peers toward the Indian
people he loves. Nor does it explain how he is to protect Abby Fraser and her
child from the husband who mistreats them.
Amid
political unrest, inhospitable deserts, and Russian spies, tensions rise in
India as the people cry for the freedom espoused by Gandhi. Caught between
their own ideals and duty, Geoff and Abby stumble into sinister secrets . . .
secrets that will thrust them out of the shadows and straight into the fire of
revolution.
CAPTURED BY
MOONLIGHT (Book 2 of series)
Prisoners to their own broken dreams…
After a daring rescue of a child goes
awry, Laine Harkness and her friend Eshana flee to the tropical south of
India…and headlong into their respective pasts.
Laine takes a nursing position at a
plantation in the jungle, only to discover that her former fiancé is the
owner…but fun-loving Laine refuses to let Adam crush her heart like he had years
ago.
Eshana, captured by her traditional uncle
and forced once more into the harsh Hindu customs of mourning, doubts freedom
will ever be hers again, much less the forbidden love for Dr. Jai Kaur that had
begun to flower.
Amid cyclones, epidemics, and clashing
faiths, will the love of the True Master give hope to these searching hearts?
Veiled at Midnight (Book 3 of series Twilight of the
British Raj
Explosive and Passionate Finale to the British Empire
The
British Empire is coming to an end. As millions flee to the roads, caught up in
the turbulent wake is Captain Cam Fraser, his sister Miriam, and the beautiful
Indian Dassah.
Cam
has never been able to put Dassah from his mind, ever since the days when he
played with the orphans at the mission as a boy. But a British officer and the
aide to the last viceroy cannot marry a poor Indian woman, can he?
As
this becomes clear to Dassah, she has no option but to run. Cam may hold her
heart—but she cannot let him break it again.
Miriam
rails against the separation of the land of her birth, but is Lieutenant
Colonel Jack Sunderland her soulmate or a distraction from what God has called
her to do?
The
1947 Partition of India has separated the country these three love…but can they
find their true homes before it separates them forever?
Sounds like an amazing trilogy! Hope you get a chance to check it out.
Come back next week for more Tuesday Treasures, Thursday Thoughts, and Saturday Spotlight!
Until then.....take care & God Bless!
