Shaman – Book Tour and Giveaway
Two people are brought together by a force they never saw coming . . .
Shaman
A Talisman Series Standalone
by Tam DeRudder Jackson
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Romantasy
A druid straddles the line between light and darkness . . .
Renleigh Rogan keeps to herself in her remote Montana cabin, tending her plants and honing her protection spells. Only occasionally does she indulge her shape-shifting abilities… Called to Scotland in the middle of the night to help heal a rogue warrior, her first instinct is to ignore the summons, but danger lies in disobeying a powerful goddess.
A rogue is caught in a celestial tug-o-war . . .
Jamie Lennox gave up the warrior community long ago, voluntarily fighting in the Morrigan’s rogue army. Cocky, and one of the most accomplished swordsman in the community, he’s the perfect weapon for taking the warriors the Morrigan covets most. Yet when he loses a pivotal battle, she turns on him, leaving him injured and lost in a no-man’s land between good and evil, a place no warrior or rogue can exist for long. Luckily for him, a beautiful druid has come to his rescue, even if she’s saving him against her will.
Two people are brought together by a force they never saw coming . . .
The fact Jaime Lennox looks like a fallen angel has nothing to do with Renleigh’s decision to come to his aid. His sexy come-ons do not intrigue her either—not even a little bit. Nor does the mysterious past he hides. While the two of them spar inside an enchanted cottage in the Highlands, overhead, a celestial storm is brewing, one that will require each of them to decide what truly matters—their beliefs about themselves and each other or the truth that will set their love free.

“Jackson works this admittedly familiar supernatural romance/urban fantasy terrain (readers of J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, for instance, will feel right at home) with winning energy, a good ear for dialogue, and a sharp sense of pacing.” Kirkus Reviews for Rogue

Tam DeRudder Jackson’s love of all things Celtic led her to write the Talisman Series. Steeped in Celtic mythology, these steamy, fated mates, paranormal romance adventures are set in the mountains of Tam’s native Montana and the Highlands of Scotland. Rogue, the most recent book in the series, was named a best romance of 2022 by the Independent Book Review.
An avid fan of rock music, Tam never misses a chance to see a live show, especially if it’s Shinedown, one of her favorite bands. Her love of rock music inspired her contemporary rock star Balefire Series, a sexy fun ride following the lives and loves of the members of a fictional mega-band. Readers of this series consistently give the books five-star reviews.
Tam earned her BA in English from Montana State University and her M.Ed. in literacy from Lesley University. After a short teaching stint in Bath, England, she settled in the wilds of Wyoming where she taught adolescents all about the Celts and a bit about writing before she stepped out of the classroom to pursue her writing career full time.
When she’s not writing, you can find her working her way through her mountainous TBR piles, alpine skiing, or traveling to some new place on her ever-expanding bucket list.

I do write in a journal, but more weekly than daily.
Sounds like a great book.

Ah yes. The mating bond thing- for those who are strong willed, it's pull is almost a death sentence. Obviously that's the plot's theme.
I love the fated mates trope, for sure. But this one has a twist that even I didn't see coming until it showed up on the page. (I'm a pantser, so I'm usually as surprised at my stories as readers. ;) )
Hope the book does well!

Comments like this make my whole day. :) I hope you love Shaman.
Wow, this sounds absolutely captivating! I love how you’ve woven Celtic mythology, shape-shifting, and the clash between light and darkness into such a rich setting like the Scottish Highlands. Renleigh and Jamie already feel like characters I’d want to root for their tension, the enemies-to-lovers spark, and the fated mates angle all make it irresistible. The way you balance magic, romance, and inner conflict really shines through in this description. Can’t wait to dive into this story and see how their journey unfolds!
The Paranormal Romance sounds fun to read and the book cover art is beautiful and eye catching.
