The Half-Drowned King was chosen for the Winter 2018-2019 Reading Groups List, in Historical Fiction!
“Fierce storytelling honors the 13th-century Icelandic saga Heimskringla, which is retold here through the adventures of brother and sister Ragnvald and Swanhild. This novel is a real swashbuckler: true historical fiction in the tradition of James Michener and the ancient sagas themselves. A new favorite.” —Maeve Noonan, Northshire Bookstore, Saratoga Springs, NY

I started blogging at the venerable Amazing Stories Magazine, about What’s New In Fantasy! My most recent post covered some new and ongoing fantasy comics.
*
I wrote about my top 5 fictional arranged marriages at FreshFiction.com.

I’ve done fewer appearances for The Sea Queen than I did for The Half-Drowned King, but I did an event at Politics and Prose at the Wharf in Washington, DC, a signing at Friendly Neighborhood Comics in Bellingham, MA, and just this week, a reading at the library in my new home town.

My podcast, That Book was BONKERS, continues to be a ton of fun to research and record. Just recently we covered The Pillow Book by Sei Shonagon, and soon we will be doing a Halloween-themed episode.

I am deep in edits on The Golden Wolf, enjoying a New England fall, and cooking a lot. And that’s all the news these days!
