Feisty Deeds II up on NetGalley – seeking reviewers!
How exciting! Our second edition of the Feisty Deeds anthology is now up on NetGalley for early reviews!
Feisty Deeds II : Historical Tales of Batches and Brews is seeking early reviewers. So get on over to NetGalley and request your copy today!
I am one of the five co-editors of this collection (and a contributing author, too), so I admit to my bias, but this is one fabulous collection. I have read and reread…and reread once more…all of the stories in this collection – and I can say, you’re in for a treat.
We’ll be releasing on 12 December – in time for holiday gifts! – and we want to have plenty of reviews for release date. So thanks in advance to advance readers for helping us out!
These stories traverse the globe and centuries: Celts of third century Ireland, the persecution of the Cathars in thirteenth century France, post-WWI Australia, a WWII internment camp in the Philippines, waiting for soldiers to return home in WWII-ravaged Poland, longing for a holiday treat in Beijing during Mao’s Cultural Revolution of the 1970s or a mini-revolt in a peace-loving hippie commune in 1970s California, you’ll find it hard not to flip the page for “just one more story” before you switch off that bedside light.
Here’s the full blurb:
Concoctions, treats, brews, and potions from another batch of feisty characters
Whether cooking for solace, scrounging for food, concocting medicine, or brewing poisons, the feisty women in these stories will keep you thirsting for more. Twenty-five tales will transport you far afield in time and place: third century Ireland, medieval Europe, twentieth-century Australia.
Read your way from a hippie commune to a WW II internment camp in the Philippines; from a Renaissance palace to a Polish village wracked by war, the hills of Appalachia, and a sleepy Ontario town.
Mixtures to soothe, heal, and thrall are prepared in these pages, where lovers take revenge, mothers protect their children, and feisty women make choices in a challenging world.
