Welcome to McCollum Castle
I am Heather McCollum, USA Today Bestselling author of 16th and 17th century Scottish romances full of adventure and intrigue, sprinkled with humor, history, and spice. Brawny Highlanders and fiery heroines are my favorite characters!
While you’re here, feel free to roam around in the “rooms”. Books are in the library, recipes are in the kitchen, ovarian cancer information in the apothecary. There is a secret stairway in the bedroom, although it is password protected and available only to my monthly newsletter subscribers. And now I have a Fun for Readers page! Try out some games and see the adventures with my Highland coo, Flora.
Welcome to the 2026 Historical Romance Authors Easter Egg Hunt Hop!

You can save a copy of the google doc to use (go to File and click Make a Copy) and send me the link of your matched eggs if that’s easier for you.

Book #3 in my BROTHERHOOD OF SOLWAY MOSS Series has Released!
Buy Links for THE HIGHLANDER’S LADY OF LOCH & SEA
Cyrus Mackinnon has always had a way with the lasses. But beneath his roguish grin lies the heart of a warrior—and a destiny to be the chief of his clan. By wedding his sister to the Macqueen chief, he’s forged a strong alliance among the Isle of Skye clans. Until a lovely stranger with eyes the color of the sea disrupts the celebrations to warn Cyrus that his brother-in-law is on par with the devil himself…
Laria Macqueen knows that none of the clans of Skye are safe from her cousin’s sinister plotting—least of all her people. And if she can’t stop the wedding, she’ll have to do the unthinkable: seduce Cyrus…and kill him. But while bedding the battle-hardened warrior is altogether satisfying, she hesitates once she has her dagger to his throat.
Now Cyrus is caught in the Macqueens’ secret war of attrition. With one wrong move, the fragile alliance will be shattered and Skye soaked in blood. And in the middle stands Laria, a siren who will either steal Cyrus’s soul…or lure them all to their deaths.
And you might be wondering about Eleri Drake. Who exactly is this author with the lovely name and magic room in my castle? Check her out! (Psst, she’s me writing romance mixed with magic).
