Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Laura Brodie Dear Reader, Sarah McConnell's husband had been dead three months when she saw him in the grocery store.... That's the first sentence of my debut novel, THE WIDOW'S SEASON, winner of the 2005 Faulkner-Wisdom prize for Best Novel-in-Progress. After reading several 17th-century plays where husbands fake their deaths in order to spy on their wives, I felt inspired to write a modern-day story of a woman who thinks she is being haunted by her husband's ghost. This novel explores love, marriage and grief, following the holiday seasons from Halloween through Easter as Sarah resurrects her own spirit. You can read the first chapter (only three pages) at laurabrodieauthor.com, and sign up for a chance to win a free copy, or to win a WIDOW'S SEASON gift basket, including everything from Appalachian holiday ornaments to chocolate body paint! (See my Valentine's Day chapter to understand.) Happy reading, Laura Brodie TOP OF PAGE BACK TO MAIN PAGE © 2005 by AuthorBuzz
