First of all, Happy Labor Day to all my American readers! Hope you're enjoying this lovely day. 

Now, back to business, as it were. How about some MANor Candy? And today I'm featuring Barnbougle Castle on the Dalmeny Estate along the shores of the Firth of Forth, part of the inspiration for Banbogle Castle in the second Lady Darby novel, Mortal Arts. Although Barnbougle Castle is in much better condition than the Banbogle Castle in the novel, it is situated in much the same spot, and I've borrowed some of the real castle's history.

Next week I'll share the other castle that served as inspiration for my Banbogle Castle, and this one is most certainly crumbling. 

In other news, I was interviewed for the September issue of The Big Thrill.
