Author's website: http//www.rachaelpruitt.comMy name is Rachael Pruitt and I'm a writer, storyteller, and teacher with a lifelong fascination for Celtic mythology and the Arthurian legend. My new novel, THE DRAGON'S HARP, tells the story of the coming of age of the famous Queen Gwenhwyfar (the Welsh spelling for Guinevere) in a dark and frightening time. Merlin is her Uncle and, although she is a tribal Celtic princess who possesses both power and magic, she is in great danger from both the human and supernatural realms.Thanks to my wonderful readers for your fantastic reviews on Amazon & Goodreads! I'm also thrilled and honored to announce that DRAGON'S HARP has now won 2 important awards! TWO TIME AWARD WINNER!!!!!!DRAGON'S HARP is the 2013 WINNER of the VISIONARY FICTION AWARD from COVR (Coalition of Visionary Resources)!! DRAGON'S HARP has also been chosen as the 2012 GLOBAL EBOOK WINNER in the Ancient Historical Fiction catagory!! MY THANKS TO ALL THE ENTHUSIASTIC JUDGES & READERS FOR THESE GREAT HONORS!Never fear--for those of you have been asking "What happens next?": DRAGON'S HARP is just the beginning! I have plans for four more books about Gwenhwyfar and Merlin's lives. The books are called "Era of Dragons: The Lost Tales of Gwenhwyfar". READER REVIEWS: "From the first page I was drawn deep into Pruitt's beautifully-realized Celtic realm, so vivid I felt as if I'd stepped right into the tale . . . With shades of The Mists of Avalon, the story is a magical blend of Welsh and Arthurian myth. "All the characters are so vividly rendered they soon lay siege to your heart, and you find yourself loving them, rooting for them, terrified for them, and utterly captivated by them."----JULES WATSON, bestselling author of The White Mare Trilogy, The Swan Maiden, and The Raven Queen" Rachael Pruitt is a gifted storyteller, able to create vivid, three-dimensional characters in prose that is, by turns, lyrical and powerful. Readers who enjoyed the novels of Parke Godwin, Persia Woolley, Rosemary Sutcliff, and Marion Zimmer Bradley will love The Dragon's Harp, in which Gwenhwyfar comes of age; best of all there are four more books to come... ---SHARON K.PENMAN, New York Times Bestselling author of Lionheart, Here Be Dragons, & Time and Chance"Rachael Pruitt is a natural story teller, and her love of the Guinevere character shines through every page of The Dragon's Harp. It's a pleasure to discover her take on this very old story." ---PERSIA WOOLLEY, author of The Guinevere Trilogy.
