Cover Reveal–Forest Child

Because I don’t have much time to write a really long post, I’m going to cut right to the chase. For those of you anxiously awaiting Freydis’ story in Forest Child…here she is!!!

FC FB size

Releasing November 2016!

Isn’t she perfect? Freckles, blue eyes, red curls, arrows, forest…she’s just like I wanted. I hope you enjoy her angry/moody/intense gaze. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Here’s the blurb for this novel!

Viking warrior. Dauntless leader. Protective mother.

Determined to rise above her rank as the illegitimate “forest child” of Eirik the Red, Freydis launches a second voyage to Vinland to solidify her power and to demand the respect she deserves. She will return home with enough plunder to force her brother, Leif, to sell her the family farm in Greenland.

But nothing can prepare her for the horrors she must confront in Vinland…and nothing can stand in her way when her family is threatened.

In her race to outrun the truths that might destroy her, Freydis ultimately collides with the only enemy she cannot silenceโ€”her own heart.

Historically based on the Icelandic Sagas, Forest Child brings the memorable, conflicted persona of Freydis Eiriksdottir to life. This immersive tale is Book Two in the bestselling Vikings of the New World Saga.

PLEASE do me a favor and add this one to your Goodreads To-Read lists here, as well as any Listopia lists you think it would fit on (it’s already on some). That really helps me get buzz going for this novel which will release SOMETIME THIS NOVEMBER!

I will give more details as we approach November! But in the meantime, please share. I’ll include a little pinnable below.

Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an a Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an author panel @bjuedu with authors Jamie Langston Turner and Emily Golus (@worldofvindor) with @inkwellmagazine. What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with. Then got to hang out with my lifelong friend @rachelcohee and her husband and daughter and brunch @grandbohemianlodgegreenville at the Between the Trees restaurant. Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!๐Ÿ“š#authorlife #wvauthor
