by Karen Ranney
The topography of the Highlands and Perth is as realistic as I can make it. However, I’ve taken liberty with some geographical landmarks such as the River Tairn and Ben Wyllis. They’re not to be found on any map.
The Royal George Hotel, visited by Queen Victoria and her retinue, was actually in Perth.
About the Author
KAREN RANNEY wanted to be a writer from the time she was five years old and filled her Big Chief tablet with stories. People in stories did amazing things and she was too shy to do anything amazing. Years spent in Japan, Paris, and Italy, however, not only fueled her imagination, but proved that she wasn’t that shy after all. Yet she prefers to keep her current adventures between the covers of her books. Karen lives in San Antonio, Texas, and loves to hear from her readers at www.karenranney.com.
