Weekly Announcements - 2 July 2010

Between June 24-July 5, Margaret Mallory is traveling to Scotland to research her next series! After a day in London to snap a few photos of places that appear in KNIGHT OF PASSION, she's off to Scotland. Her stops will include Edinburgh, Stirling Castle, Fort William, and the Isle of Skye. She'll also spend a day riding through amazing scenery on the "Harry Potter train," otherwise known as the Westcoast Railway's Jacobite steam train. Along the way she'll be tweeting and posting photos on her Facebook fanpage. Follow along with Margaret's adventure!
