  <about><![CDATA[Funny, FIREBRAND has been out since late 2003 and I'm still getting reviews for it. Well, not so funny really. One of the perks of being electronically published is remaining in print longer than the few weeks tradtional publishers tend to give a novel. If a title doesn't sell, book stores send the copies back for credit and the author sinks to oblivion despite any efforts they might have made at self-promotion.<br/><br/>In the e-book world, that isn’t the case. Writers have time to build a fan base and promote their work which is what I have been doing since 2003 with Firebrand. So imagine my delight when I got a request for review copies of Firebrand and Recruit from a reviewer at Midwest Book Reviews right before Christmas!<br/><br/>Victoria Kennedy’s lovely review of FIREBRAND is up and available at:<br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://midwestbookreview.com/rbw/feb_09.htm#victoria" title="http://midwestbookreview.com/rbw/feb_09.htm#victoria">http://midwestbookreview.com/rbw/feb_09....</a><br/><br/>&quot;This is a tale with a refreshing twist from the usual Arthurian fare.&quot; Midwest Book Review<br/><br/>Midwest Book Review is a rather important review site and publication. Kinda lends legimacy to my e-book.<br/><br/><br/>]]></about>

    <![CDATA[Despite the collar marking her as a  slave of Dunn na Carraice, young Lin is fiercely determined to retain  her pride and keep her family intact. That dignity bears a price, for  Lin has drawn the wrath of Modred, the youngest prince of Orkney. His  single-minded quest to break strong-willed Lin—by any means  necessary—nearly succeeds.  Although Lin is accustomed to the  death, disease, rape and famine that runs rampant in the slave hovel  she calls home, it is when her beloved brother Dafydd is placed on the  auction block that her warrior spirit becomes apparent to all who  challenge her, and the shocking secret of her lineage is finally  revealed.]]>

    <![CDATA[Sequel to the EPPIE-nominated <em>The House Of Pendragon, Book I: The Firebrand</em>.<br/><br/>In the long-anticipated second novel of her original <em>House of Pendragon</em> series, Debra A. Kemp continues the extraordinary story of King Arthur's estranged daughter, Lin.<br/><br/>Adjusting from her life as an orphaned and abused slave to that of Arthur, the Pendragon's daughter does not prove an easy task for young Lin.  She struggles to adapt and find her place within the sumptuous palace walls of Camelot.  Her mother, Queen Gwenhwyfar, expects Lin to conform to the life of royalty and the duties of a princess, including an arranged marriage.  But having survived the cruelty of life as Mordred's slave, Lin wants more than a tedious life of weaving and gossip within the world of women.  Rejected by her cold, unloving mother, Lin seeks the role of training to become a soldier.<br/><br/>Her fighting spirit meets resistance at every turn.  Can Lin prevail as a recruit in the Pendragon's army?  Or will her past return to haunt her?]]>
