I am thrilled to be hosting an amazing writer and fabulous person today! Heather McCorkle is one of my earliest blogging mates. I met her just after I began blogging, followed her and her group site, and have never regretted either. She's here for a guest post as one of the stops on her PUCA Book Tour. Please give her a warm Alleyway welcome!!
I brought chocolate cake to celebrate the birth of my new book, To Ride A Puca. Sorry it’s only a picture, but it has less calories that way. ;) Never fear though, I’ve brought more. But first to tell you 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. Before we get to the other goodies I brought, Here is a bit about To Ride A Puca:
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?
