I’m thrilled to launch Saturnalia at Main Point Books, where I launched my first novel and writing career many years ago. I’m just as excited to be joined by my friend, AC Wise, in conversation. Please join us on October 11 at 7pm! Details and RSVP here.
I’m thrilled to help Main Point Books welcome GennaRose Nethercott to Philadelphia and celebrate the release of her debut novel, Thistlefoot. The reading, conversation, and shadow puppet show are free and open to the public. RSVP here.
In the tradition of modern fairytales like American Gods and Spinning Silver comes a sweeping epic rich in Eastern European folklore – a debut novel about the ancestral hauntings that stalk us, and the uncanny power of story.
The Yaga siblings – Bellatine, a young woodworker, and Isaac, a wayfaring street performer and con artist – have been estranged since childhood, separated both by resentment and by wide miles of American highway. But when they learn that they are to receive a mysterious inheritance, the siblings are reunited – only to discover that their bequest isn’t land or money, but something far stranger: a sentient house on chicken legs.
I’m exciting to join AC Wise in conversation as she launches her new novel, Hooked, set in the same world as last year’s fantastic Wendy, Darling. Celebrate with us at Main Point Books (Wayne, PA) on Tuesday, July 12, at 7pm. (As of today, masks required.) We’ll talk about feminist retelllings, grief and survivor guilt, and of course, monsters and the enduring allure of Peter Pan.
Register for free at Eventbrite and order your copy of Hooked from Main Point.
Once invited, always welcome.
Once invited, never free.Captain James Hook, the immortal pirate of Neverland, has died a thousand times. Drowned, stabbed by Peter Pan’s sword, eaten by the beast swimming below the depths, yet James was resurrected every time by one boy’s dark imagination. Until he found a door in the sky, an escape. And he took the chance no matter the cost.
Now in London twenty-two years later, Peter Pan’s monster has found Captain Hook again, intent on revenge. But a chance encounter leads James to another survivor of Neverland. Wendy Darling, now a grown woman, is the only one who knows how dark a shadow Neverland casts, no matter how far you run. To vanquish Pan’s monster once and for all, Hook must play the villain one last time…
