The Empress season 2 is coming – and so is my next adult novel!

Surprise!

If you have been keeping up with my social media, you already know I’ve been hinting at some big publishing secrets. And today I’m pleased to announce that one of those secrets is this:

My second adult novel is coming out next month!

That’s right. If you loved The Empress, here comes The Lioness just in time before the second season of Empress drops.

If you’re a fan of morally questionable characters, lady pirates, and sweeping adventures, this one’s for you.

Here’s what it’s about:

It’s 1343 and Jeanne de Clisson is out for revenge.

At forty-three, her perfect life—a loving husband, three young children, and two castles in the French countryside—shatters when Phillip VI, the King of France, arrests and beheads her husband for treachery.

There’s no evidence and no trial—only the execution. The nobles are shocked. The paranoid king is relieved. And Jeanne…

Jeanne wants the king’s head on a pike.

To get justice, she’ll take to the sea with a pirate fleet. But while she’s burning castles to the ground and sinking merchant ships, the king is hunting her. And the closer she gets to her revenge, the closer the king gets to the people Jeanne loves most.
