Coming Soon: ALIAS HOOK
With the turning of the New Year, I'm thrilled to announce that I have a new novel coming out!
I've recently signed a contract with Snowbooks a small, award-winning independent publisher in the UK to publish my fantasy novel, Alias Hook.
My book views the children's paradise of the Neverland from the caustic perspective of Captain James Benjamin Hook, a grown man stranded in a world run by a capricious 11-year-old boy. Once an embittered warrior with a grudge against the world, now Hook is trapped forever in a pointless war he can never win nor end against the boy tyrant, Pan, and his magical allies.
In my story, a grown woman dreams her way to the Neverland in defiance of all the boy's rules. She may be the key to Hook's redemption—maybe even his release—if they can unravel the curse that binds him there before Pan can capture her and drag Hook back into their neverending game.
Eight years in the making, Alias Hook is a story of love and war, male and female, and the delicate art of growing up. Publication date is May, 2013, so watch this space for further details!

Historical Fiction Alert
I'm doing a Guest Post today over at Sarah Johnson's excellent historical fiction blog, Reading the Past http://www.readingthepast.blogspot.com/. If you love historical fiction as much as I do, and you haven't yet discovered Sarah's blog, now is as good a time as any to hie thee hither!
Sarah is a one-woman dynamo who not only posts reviews of new historical novels two or three times a week, she also conducts author interviews, organizes book giveaways, and provides a forum for readers and writers of historical fiction to get together and discuss whatever interests them. All of this in addition to her "day job" as librarian at a large Midwestern university. It's exhausting just thinking about it!
Anyway, I encourage everyone to support Sarah's fabulous and informative site. And while you're over there, take a look at my manifesto on the creation of my new website for my novel, The Witch From the Sea http://witchfromsea.blogspot.com/.
