Exiled South

Lizbeth Gordon is haunted by half told family stories; a blockade running ancestor hunted as a traitor after the Civil War, his sister, and her mixed-race child. Finding answers takes Lizbeth from the Carolina Lowcountry to Brazil. Ultimately, like her ancestors, Lizbeth must navigate the emotional geography of her own missteps to claim her second chance at life and love. For more information, please visit Harriet's website.
 Sunflowers Beneath the Snowby Teri M. Brown
When Ivanna opens the door to uniformed officers, her tranquil life is torn to pieces - leaving behind a broken woman who must find a way to survive in Soviet Ukraine. Will she be strong enough to withstand her daughter’s deceit and the eventual downfall of the nation she has devoted her life to? Or will the memories of her late husband act as a shadow haunting everyone and everything she loves? For more information, please visit Teri's website.
 Daughter of the Kingby Kerry Chaput
French orphan Isabelle has the opportunity to become a Daughter of the King. If she helps populate the colony of Canada, she can have money, power, and protection. But first, she must adopt the religion that killed her family and burned an H into her flesh.

Hear Us Roar! Debut Author Podcast
K. Blanton Brenner grew up in North Texas in a large extended family that raised horses and holy hell and, in between, sang together in four-part harmony. While attending university, she met a drummer from Chicago, married him and moved to Chicago where they raised their children.
For over ten years, Brenner wrote and read stories from her life on WBEZ, the NPR station in Chicago. She was awarded the Peter Lisagor Prize from the Society of Professional Journalists for her radio story, “Driving with Frank Sinatra.” K. Blanton Brenner published her debut novel, Appaloosa Sky, in 2019. It is the story of a family of tenacious Texas women who break horses and hearts. Appaloosa Sky lives in a genre somewhere between Nancy Drew and Sex and the City. The author’s second novel, The Trinity Rivers Trilogy will be published soon. It tells the story of the Quinn family: the enormously talented, wildly dramatic, funny and sometimes dangerous Quinns.
