In THE CHARMED CHILDREN OF ROOKSKILL CASTLE, a chatelaine – a piece of jewelry worn at the waist during the 17th through 19th centuries (read more about chatelaines here) – plays a huge role. For each of twelve children, there is a charm on that chatelaine. I won’t reveal here what it does – that would be a spoiler!

Just for fun I made a series of twelve super-short videos, one for each charm. Most of the photographs in those videos were taken by me, on a trip to Scotland and England in 2015.

The videos will be featured in a book launch blog tour starting on March 14. It’s a game, it’s a challenge, and I hope you’ll follow along as we play. The first stop on the tour will be at My Brain on Books.

In the meantime, here’s a little opening teaser:
