Updates Amulet’s Rapture and Upcoming Events

Amulet’s Rapture

Since my last update, I’ve focused on completing Book 3: Amulet’s Rapture in the Curse of Clansmen and Kings series. I’m excited to announce that the manuscript has been sent to my copy editor for final corrections. It is my hope the book will be available for advance reading and review by the end of August. A date for the Fall release of the book will be announced in August.

Amulet’s Rapture spans from 24 AD to 27 AD in which both the primary characters, Catrin (Celtic Druid warrior) and Marcellus Antonius (great-grandson of Mark Antony) will undergo dramatic changes and challenges in their relationship. The backdrop of the story will expand into Gaul (modern day France), Rome, and Britannia.

New characters from various regions in the Roman Empire will be introduced in Amulet’s Rapture, including the following:

• Arius Petronius: Best friend and confident of Marcellus
• Negusi, Gladiator from Ethiopia
• Brutius Antonius: Half-Brother to Marcellus
• Verus: Lanista (trainer of gladiators)

Synopsis

Amulet’s Rapture Book Cover

Blood stains her Celtic home and kingdom.
The warrior Druid princess will do anything to avenge her enemies and to retake her kingdom

Although Catrin is the rightful heir to the Celtic throne in Britannia, she is lucky to be alive. After witnessing the slaughter of her family at the hands of her half-brother, who was aided by the Romans, she is enslaved by a Roman commander. He disguises her as a boy in the Roman Legion with the belief that she is an oracle of Apollo and can foretell his future. The sole bright spot in her miserable new life is her forbidden lover Marcellus, the great-grandson of the famed Roman General Mark Antony.

But Marcellus has been wounded and his memories of Catrin and their secret marriage were erased by a dark Druidess. Though Marcellus reunites with Catrin in Gaul and becomes her ally as she struggles to survive the brutality of her Roman master, he questions the legitimacy of their marriage and hesitates to help her escape and to retake her kingdom. If their forbidden love and alliance are discovered, her dreams of returning to her Celtic home with Marcellus will be shattered.
