So if you're in the Spokane, WA area, I will be at Auntie's Bookstore with two other fantabulous writers and Class of 2k12ers, J Anderson Coats, and Jennifer Shaw Wolf. Here's. We will be reading from our novels, taking questions, and selling and signing books. Here are little blurbs about the books, so you know what to look forward to.
In
thirteenth-century Wales, ten years into English rule, two girls at
cross purposes are caught up in ethnic strife, institutionalized
corruption and impending rebellion.
1293. North Wales. Ten years into English rule.
Cecily would give anything to leave Caernarvon and go home. Gwenhwyfar would give anything to see all the English leave.
Neither one is going to get her wish.
Behind the city walls, English burgesses govern with impunity.
Outside the walls, the Welsh are confined by custom and bear the burden
of taxation, and the burgesses plan to keep it that way.
Cecily can’t be bothered with boring things like the steep new tax or
the military draft that requires Welshmen to serve in the king’s army
overseas. She has her hands full trying to fit in with the town’s
privileged elite, and they don’t want company.
Gwenhwyfar can’t avoid these things. She counts herself lucky to get
through one more day, and service in Cecily’s house is just salt in the
wound.
But the Welsh are not as conquered as they seem, and the suffering in
the countryside is rapidly turning to discontent. The murmurs of
revolt may be Gwenhwyfar’s only hope for survival – and the last thing
Cecily ever hears.
Does time heal all wounds?
Allie lost everything the night her boyfriend, Trip, died in a tragic
car accident—including her memory of the event. All she has left are
the scars and a sneaking suspicion that the crash wasn’t an accident
after all.
When the police reopen the investigation, it quickly turns
on Allie and her best friend, Blake, especially as their budding romance
raises eyebrows around their small town.
As the threats begin and the
survivor’s guilt sets in, Allie’s memories collide with a dark secret
about Trip she’s kept for too long. Caught somewhere between her past
and her future, Allie knows she must tell the truth. Can she reach deep
enough to remember that night so she can finally break free?
Seventeen-year-old Austin Parker wants to help the people he loves live—even though his own future is uncertain.
I had the dream again. The one where I’m running. I don’t know what from or where to, but I’m scared, terrified really.
Austin Parker is never going to see his eighteenth birthday. At the
rate he’s going, he probably won’t even see the end of the year.
But in
the short time he has left there’s one thing he can do: He can try to
help the people he loves live—even though he never will.
It’s probably hopeless.
But he has to try.
So, please if you're in the area, come by and see us. We'd love to meet you!
