May McGoldrick, Nik James, and Jan Coffey are pen names for USA Today bestselling authors Nikoo Kafi and Jim McGoldrick. Together, they have crafted over fifty fast-paced, conflict-filled historical, contemporary, and Western novels, and two works of nonfiction.

Nikoo’s education and training was in engineering. She worked in robotics and submarine shipbuilding. Before earning a PhD in sixteenth-century Scottish and English literature, Jim pursued a hundred and one jobs, including a decade in submarine construction.

Storytellers at heart, Nikoo and Jim were always searching for careers that gave them time for both family and writing. Then, after thirteen years of marriage, they recognized each other’s creative strengths. Nikoo is all about characters and feeling. Jim is about action and sense of place. Their first attempt in writing fiction together produced their award-winning novel, The Thistle and the Rose. Since then, their stories have touched the hearts and minds of millions of readers all over the world. Their work has been translated into over a dozen languages and counting.

Nikoo and Jim are four-time Rita Finalists and the winners of numerous awards for their writing, including the Daphne DeMaurier Award for Excellence, the Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award, three NJRW Golden Leaf Awards, two Holt Medallions, and the Connecticut Press Club Award for Best Fiction.

The authors make their home in California.

Here is a complete catalogue of May McGoldrick, Nik James and Jan Coffey’s work, in chronological order.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good series comes to a graceful enter
Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2000
In 1535, following the King murdering their father, their mother Nicola Perry exiles her three daughters to different remote parts of Scotland for their safety. Catherine goes to Balvenie where she married her host John Stewart (see THE DREAMER). Laura travels to St. Duthac where she weds her protector William Ross (see THE ENCHANTRESS). The wildest one Adrianne drives the Abbess of Barra in the Western Isles crazy with her defiance.

Eventually, Wyntoun MacLean, master of the Isle, arrives and takes Adrianne away with him when he leaves. His seemingly altruistic motive disguises his effort to obtain the Treasure of Tiberius for the Knights of the Veil. At his father's castle, Adrianne and Wyntoun agree to marry in order to rescue her mother, now held hostage, and to attain the treasure without jeopardizing her now married and pregnant siblings. As they work together, Wyntoun and Adrianne fall in love, but any meaningful relationship remains in jeopardy from a traitor and the individual who abducted her mother.

THE FIREBRAND, the conclusion to the Perry siblings Highland trilogy, is an exiting, well-written historical romance filled with suspense and intrigue. The story line is fun as the lead charcaters struggle with an unknown enemy and their growing love for one another. The return of the stars from the previous tales adds to the overall pleasure of the plot. Though the story line requires some acceptance by the audience, May McGoldrick attains her third gold medal with this triumphant novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the three
Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2001
This is the best of the trilogy. There are a few gaps in the story and a few issues left unresolved, such as Gilly. He started out being an important part of the story and just sort of drifted out of the story line. The end of the story is also rather abrupt in light of having to read through three books to get to it. It is almost as if the authors were burned out of ideas. Despite these little gaps and despite the stretch my immagination,it was an enjoyable read. I feel it could be read as a single self contained book as it covers the entire trilogy background of the plot and characters. I recommend it as excellent entertainment.

This author always writes well and this book did not disappoint. I enjoyed the connections with the first two books in the series and the reunion of family at the end.

Another fabulous addition to the series. Loved the way it was a great story in it's own right but elements of past characters and stories were added in. If you are looking for romance, history, humour and action you can't go far wrong with this author.

A trilogy that is worth your time to read.

This last one is a fine story with a continuity error and a few wrong words.

In chapter 12 we are told it is the advent season. This is confusing, because in the prior book, Laura married William Ross just before Christmas. And this can't be prior or simultaneous, as Adrianne has already received the letter telling of her sister's marriage.

The mystery of the treasure and various characters' relationships to it is interesting. There is a satisfying ending, with explanations leading to it. Well done! Loved the MC's, and many supporting characters.

A good historical series set in Medievil Britain. I personally hate sex scenes in books so that was several pages flipped over in each book. A really good story doesn't need the extra words for padding out! But that's just my opinion. Good setting and location. I did enjoy the 3 in the series.
