3 min read

Today I’m pleased to have Diana Cosby on the blog, talking about her new novel, Forbidden Knight. I met Diana in the RomVet’s group, a group of fellow female romance authors who also served in the military! You can learn more about Romvets here: RomVets

Enjoy Diana’s novel!

Knights Templar – The Unsolved Mystery

Regardless if hundreds of years have passed, questions remain of where the Templars fled, what treasure they took, and how so many valiant knights were able to disappear without a trace.  As a major plotter, I enjoy weaving in my character’s journey, where they face challenges and in the end fall in love, around these mysteries and more along with my speculation as to where their fleet and many of the Brotherhood could have escaped to prior to the arrests beginning in France on the 13th of October, 1307. 

 

Book ideas come to me in numerous ways.  With Forbidden Knight, the 2nd in The Forbidden Series, it occurred during a visit to Louisiana.  I was listening to stories of World War II and how back then, women used to write letters of encouragement and support to deployed soldiers.  If the recipient had a pen pal or girlfriend, he’d pass the letter on to a person without someone to correspond to.  I was fascinated by this detail, which ignited the thought of, “What if the hero isn’t the recipient of the letter, but he pretends to be that person?”  This translated into the premise for Forbidden Knight.

 

With an alpha hero, I knew my heroine needed to be strong, and Alesone Elyne MacNiven, a resilient and independent woman, was born.  I upped the tension to the story by placing her and Thomas on the run in a setting with Scotland at war.

 

I hope you enjoy Thomas and Alesone’s journey.  Take care, and I wish you the best.

Sincerely,

Diana Cosby

  1. Roxanne,
    Thank you so much for inviting me on your blog for the release of Forbidden Knight, book #2 in The Forbidden Series. I’m fascinated by the Templar time-frame and the questions of what happened to them as the treasures they guarded. As a major plotter, in The Forbidden Series, I enjoy the challenge of weaving stories around the possibilities. Take care, and I wish you the best.
    Sincerely,

    Diana Cosby, AGC(AW), USN, Ret.
