So what is this book all about? OR What are you pedaling now, Rigney?

It's me again. Pimpin' my new book.

It's what I do these days. Making noise, selling a dream. 

Today, I would like to present my book trailer! Filmed, edited, scripted, produced, and directed by me. I am a one-woman production. All me, all the time. (Wait. That's not true. I do have one AMAZING employee, Jo. She's my editor and I adore her. She's probably reading this and cringing at all the improper coma usage.)

Presenting my book trailer in HD! At least, I think it's in HD …




Thoughts? Concerns? Questions? Let me know. I adore feedback!

Also, I have (sadly) not blogged any information about the substance of my novel Waking the Merrow. My apologies. Let me clear that up. Here is my book blurb. What's a book blurb? Helpful, well chosen words usually found on the back of a book, enticing you to open the book, read more, then (hopefully) hypnotically making you buy the book.

Prepare yourself for hypnosis (or you could go watch TV, a fish tank, paint dry … It's your free-time. Use it wisely, dear reader.)

In 1772, angry Rhode Island colonists set fire to a British ship, sparking the American Revolution. Taxation without representation was a motivator. So was the vengeful, man-eating mermaid who had it out for the commanding officer.

That was then. This is now. 

Mermaids, or merrow, still hunt in Narragansett Bay, but these days they keep a lower profile.

At night, centuries-old Nomia seduces smutty frat boys, lures them into icy waters, and feeds them to her voracious kin. By day, she and her half-breed daughter attempt to blend at the coastal Village Playground. 

But Nomia slips up. She makes a friend. Then she makes that friend disappear, and someone notices.

Thirty-something Evie McFagan just wants to make it through working motherhood. But she’s a blistering stew of issues—snarky alcoholic and a friendless funeral director who just witnessed Nomia dismembering a guy at the nearby yacht club.

When Evie believes a mermaid stole her baby, who will help? The Merrow of Ireland? Or maybe anti-hero Evie will surprise everyone, including herself, and will summon the strength to save her own family. 

Intertwining the stories of two primordial families with the colonial history of Narragansett Bay, Waking the Merrow is a dark historical fantasy.

So? Socks still on your body? Or did I blow them off? 

Well, if they're still on, maybe I'm not your kind of author. That's all right. You stopped by anyway and I appreciate it!
