Good news for 2020. A new, enhanced edition of Megge of Bury Down is slated for release in early spring in preparation for the autumn release of Megge's continuing story, Lady of the Cliffs, Book Two of the Bury Down Chronicles.

MEGGE will have a fresh look, and both books will feature the supplementary material readers have requested: a map with the story locations flagged and a list of characters and their relationships.

An announcement of the release dates is forthcoming! Stay tuned!

My best to you,
Rebecca

The Lady of the Cliffs, Book Two of the Bury Down Chronicles, picks up moments after Book One ends and follows Megge as she begins to keep three promises: one to Claris, one to Brighida, and one to The Blacksmith, Michael Gough.
As anyone who has read Megge of Bury Down will attest, the story opens slowly, allowing the reader to meander through Megge's world and see it through her eyes as she gets to know it and as she wrangles with concepts and decisions well beyond her ken.
This slow build was intentional as this is the opening to a long, complex series, and I, for one, dislike sequels that spend chapters rebuilding the storyworld and redefining every character.
For those who savored Megge of Bury Down, your investment in time and attention will have paid off as you step back into Megge's world in The Lady of the Cliffs.
Coming on Samhain, November 1, 2020.

I'm thrilled to announce that the Independent Press New York City Big Book Awards has named Megge of Bury Down the Distinguished Favorite in two categories: Historical Fiction and Cover Design!

Kudos and thanks to cover artist/book designer Tamian Wood of Beyond Design International for her superb work!
