The Lioness is here!

Good morning, historical fiction fans!

I’m so pleased to say that today is the day. The day that finally (finally!) my second adult historical novel is on a shelf near you!

Based on the true story of Jeanne de Clisson: the French noblewoman-turned-pirate who swore vengeance on a king, this is for anyone who loves historical adventures, lady pirates, or morally gray lead characters.

You can grab your copy in paperback or eBook wherever books are sold (and psst…keep an eye out for audiobook news in the coming months).

It’s on sale this week and the price goes up next week, so I’d grab it now if I were you.

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.
