I've a new book in production and it's called Dog Sisters
There'll be a limited edition hardcover first edition and also paperback, ebook and audiobook versions, all out in early November. The limited edition preorder page is now up. (juniperwiles.com/dogsisters.html) I'll post when preorders start for other formats.
What's it about? I'm glad you asked. :) The blurb reads:
Sometimes miracles are just kind people with good hearts.
At the end of The Wind in His Heart Sadie Higgins was given the choice of going into Newford’s Angel Outreach program or stay in jail. She chose Newford and this is what happened to her there.
But Dog Sisters isn’t so much a sequel to The Wind in His Heart as a coda that entwines with the story of Lola Soledad and her family of choice, navigating life as recovering addicts.
Lola is starting to get her life on track but everything changes when she finds the little lost dog Mijo and the edges of the world she knows peel back to reveal another world that is at once strange and dangerous and filled with wonder.
From the afterword: "I have to admit that I thought Sadie was pretty much irredeemable and was prepared to leave her in jail at the end of that novel [The Wind in His Heart]. But MaryAnn insisted I at least give her a chance, hence that penultimate chapter featuring her in The Wind in His Heart. And once I did that she kept asking me, what happened to Sadie in Newford? When are you going to tell that story?"
