Celebration: My Second Novel Appears in Germany
I'm very proud that Germany made a multiple-book deal, and on Dec. 4, 2013, my second novel was published by DTV. The name of the book is not "The Chalice" but "The Prophecy of the Nun." I like that title, just as I liked "The Last Nun" instead of "The Crown." But then again, "The Last Nun" was my original title for my first book. It was changed after I sold it.
The cover of the German book is also quite interesting:
I'm told that the German market for historical novels set in England is strong. So let's hope that "The Prophecy of the Nun" finds its way into a lot of homes!
