Plague & Poison - release date

Plague & Poison, the second book in my Barefoot Healer series, is due out on Saturday 10th December 2011. It'll be available on Amazon, Smashwords, and right here on Goodreads.

Rachel Cotterill read the final draft, and wrote a very nice review. She was kind enough to point out some plot holes and continuity errors, which let me make the released version that little bit better.

Here's the blurb...

Apprentice wizard Adramal is now a detective with the City Watch. But someone wants her dead - during a routine investigation, she is poisoned, and only her magic and quick thinking save her life. Her father suspects followers of the evil god Zorian are to blame. He insists Adramal leave for the island kingdom of Salmar, beyond Zorian's influence, while the Watch investigates. The Salmarian priests trick her into revealing herself as a wizard, and sentence her to death for practising magic. Desperate, she chooses to assist a plague-stricken village rather than be executed. But not all the villagers welcome her help, and Zorian's reach may well be longer than she thought...

You can read the first chapter here. I'll upload more chapters next week in the run-up to the release date.
