Cover Reveal for New Book by Marie Silk
Happy Thanksgiving week, everyone! I have great news to share in today's blog update :). I am currently working on a prequel to the Davenport House series! It tells the story of Mary Davenport's debutante (coming-out party) when she is sixteen years old.
Goodreads page: Debutante
I am one of those people who prefers to read a series in order, but I think that even readers like me, who might have already finished the other books, will truly enjoy this retroactive look into the early years at Davenport House.
I expect the prequel to release in January 2017 and I will send an update when it becomes available for pre-order. Oh! That brings me to the other great news...the Davenport House prequel will have a special introductory price of 99 cents! More details coming soon :).
The family saga begins in Debutante, a prequel to the best-selling Davenport House series. A life of luxury for the Davenports means drudgery for the servants on the grand country estate. This is their story in 1909 America, six years prior to the events of book one.
While her father is away on business, sixteen-year-old Mary Davenport feels confined and alone, despite her privileged life at the family's mansion. As the day of Mary's debutante ball draws near, the servants are conflicted by instructions from Mary's mother to starve her until she fits into a smaller debutante gown. The Mistress also attempts to separate Mary from her only friend, the lowly son of a servant.
In a shantytown hours away, a young girl called Abigail is hired to sew a gown for a dressmaker's wealthy patron. Abigail gives up her education in order to provide for her impoverished family. Neither she nor Mary is aware of how connected their futures are destined to become.
Thank you to all of my readers who have made this series a success and thank you to my fellow authors who have been supportive and encouraging since the beginning! I wish everyone a blessed Thanksgiving!
