I'm happy to have Heather McCorkle guest posting on the blog today in celebration of her new novel, To Ride a Puca. So without further ado, here's Heather!
Hi all, I'm stopping by celebrate the birth of my new book, To Ride A Puca.
Before we get to the goodies I'm giving away, here is a bit about the
newborn. It is a young adult historical fantasy about the last of the
druids in ancient Ireland. This one was a bit heartbreaking to write and
because of that it became very special to me. I hope it will be to you
as well.
Invaders are coming to take what isn't theirs, again.
Neala wants to stand and fight for her homeland, but as one of the last druids, she may be standing alone.
Persecuted,
hunted down, forced to live in obscurity, the druids have all but given
up. Can the determination of a girl who has barely come into her power
bring them together? Or, just when she finally finds her place among her
kind, will they end up losing a homeland their very magic is tied to?
Disclaimer: This novel contains some violence and difficult subject matter. It is recommended for mature YA and up.
Here is an excerpt from Chapter 1:
Her heart began to thud with the intensity of a blacksmith’s hammer. Nervous energy hummed through her body. A hot summer wind blew a strand of her long brown hair across the spyglass, obscuring her view and shaking her from her paralyzed state. Her horse shifted beneath her and stomped his foot. She didn’t need any more urging, it was time to go.
Available in eBook and hardback at B&N, Amazon, and other retail sites.
I’ll
be giving away great prizes, a new one, every week for the next three
weeks. This week I’m giving away a signed paperback of TANGLED TIDES by Karen Amanda Hooper.
It is about a girl who finds herself tangled up in the underwater world
of mysterious merfolk and secretive selkies. It is one of my favorite
books of the year so far, trust me you’ll love it! The contest will be
open until June 3rd, the winner to be announced on the 4th. To enter go
