Tam DeRudder Jackson is the author of the Talisman Series. In her previous career, Tam was an award-winning high school English teacher. Today, she’s living her dream of writing novels. When she’s not writing, she’s reading all the books or carving turns on the ski runs in the mountains near her home in northwest Wyoming or traveling to places on her ever-expanding bucket list. Her two grown sons are the joys of her life, and she likes supporting her husband’s old car habit. If you ever see her holding a map, do her a favor and point her in the right direction. Navigation has never been her strong suit.
The Talisman Series takes place in the mountains of Montana and the Scottish Highlands. With help of their talismans, a band of modern-day Celtic warriors battle the war goddesses of the Celtic pantheon, saving civilians and warriors alike from the goddesses' never-ending desire for mortal blood. Part fantasy, part mythology, this paranormal romance series is action-packed with zombie champions, rogue warriors, and vengeful goddesses whose lust for warriors is bottomless. In the end, only love will save the warriors from the goddesses' evil machinations.
Three warrior brothers. A trio of war goddesses bent on their destruction. Fated mates, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and plenty of steam await readers of the Talisman Series.
