Sarabande to be Released This Fall

I'm happy to announce that "Sarabande" will be released by Vanilla Heart Publishing in the Fall of 2011.

After Dryad haunts her from beyond the grave for three years, Sarabande undertakes a dangerous journey into the past to either raise her cruel sister from the dead, ending the torment, or to take her place in the safe darkness of the earth.

Sarabande leaves the mountains of Montana for the cornfields of Illinois on a black horse to seek help from Robert Adams, the once powerful Sun Singer, in spite of Gem's prophecy of shame. Siobhan tries to help her with the gift of an enchanted Rowan staff, Danny tries to kill her alongside a deserted prairie road, Billy tries to save her with ancient wisdom, and Robert tries to send her away.

Even if Sarabande persuades Robert to bring the remnants of his magic to Dryad's shallow grave, the desperate man who follows desires the staff for ill intent and the malicious sister who awaits desires much more than a mere return to life.
