I’m back from the Emerald Isle where I explored ancient castles and ate many breakfasts. It was the adventure of a lifetime and I am still basking in the absolute glory that is Ireland. But while I enjoyed the week off from work, I am excited to come back to it and get started talking about my upcoming debut novel, LADY!
LADY is a historical, queer, feminist, action unconventional love story about faith, identity, and purpose, taking place in the volatile time of the War of the Roses in England. While the main cast of Rosalynde Stockley, Baron Alexander FitzRoland, Sir Robert Trent, Nicolas Conner, The Dane Witch, Arthur Hemington, and Colbert Fellwater are all fictional characters, they face real conflicts that existed history, amongst real people who now exist in legend. I really look forward to sharing this with you this September 17th, when the book is finally released.
And look out for the cover reveal coming VERY SOON!
Here’s the synopsis of the book.
In the year 1464, while England recovers from the devastation of the War of the Roses, Baron Alexander FitzRoland is dying in his northern castle. His young wife, Rosalynde, recovering from the stillbirth of her first child, succumbs to despair like a dutiful lady should.
When the castle gates are threatened, only Alexander’s reputation as a brutal fighter is enough to frighten off their opportunistic enemy. The proper thing for Lady Rosalynde to do is to pray and submit to devastation. Instead, she puts on her husband’s armor and rides to the gate disguised as the baron.
From there, things only get more complicated. Between mastering the art of war, meeting with witches, struggling with self-doubt and maneuvering her complicated relationship with Alexander’s lover, Robert, Lady Rosalynde balances on the razor thin line between duty and destiny.
