Launch Tour for TO RIDE A PUCA by Heather McCorkle!! (Champagne! Balloons! Whoo Hoo!!)

t

Hi Linda and friends, thanks for having me over. Today I’m dropping by to celebrate the release of my young adult historical fantasy about the last of the druids in ancient Ireland, To Ride A Puca. Though parts of it were heartbreaking to write, this one was a labor of love that will always hold a special place in my heart. Here is a bit about it:

Invaders are coming to take what isn't theirs, again.

Neala wants to stand and fight for her homeland, but as one of the last druids, she may be standing alone.

Persecuted, hunted down, forced to live in obscurity, the druids have all but given up. Can the determination of a girl who has barely come into her power bring them together? Or, just when she finally finds her place among her kind, will they end up losing a homeland their very magic is tied to?

Disclaimer: This novel contains some violence and difficult subject matter. It is recommended for mature YA and up.

I’ll be giving away great prizes, a new one to a new winner, every week for the next four weeks. This week I’m giving away an eBook of BECOME by Ali Cross, a twist on a Norse tale that will leave you breathless, and RUNNING WIDE OPEN by Lisa Nowak, an adrenalin pumping ride with a hot tempered teen who loves car racing. Stop by this link to enter to win. The contest will be open until May 27th, the winner to be announced on the 28th.

Linda: Thanks so much for sharing your launch of TO RIDE A PUCA with us, Heather.
I've had the opportunity to read this book and can tell you all that it is wonderful! The writing is crisp, the characters will draw you right into the story, and the story itself is as heartbreaking as it is riveting and filled with hope. If you are interested in history, Ireland, Viking invasions and/or druids (and their magic and the magical creatures who inhabit their world with them), you will love PUCA. And if you didn't know you were interested in all those things, you will enjoy a wonderful world of discovery with this book. (Plus the prizes! Wow.) Enjoy!
