In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Broken Moon Cover 

The actual book jacket is a bit darker.

I got the advanced reviewer copies (ARC) of Broken Moon today. It's almost like getting the real book, although I rarely look at these because they scare the bejeezus out of me. They're uncorrected proofs, so they're full of errors, and I'm always afeared the mistakes won't get fixed before the book comes out. Broken Moon has been chosen by the Junior Literary Guild to be one of its books, by the way. (It's like being picked for a book club.) I am very pleased. 3 comments

Great cover! And congrats at getting chosen for the Junior Literary Guild. That's exciting. It's nice to know some people are wising up! I'm still waiting for someone to realize that your books could make great moviesa too. Send a copy to Oprah.

Wait until you read it, Kevin. I think you'll like it. Nadira does whatever she can do to save her brother who has been kidnapped and taken away to ride camels. (Which is what happens to far too many boys in "real" life—they're usually only between 4-6 years old when they're taken. Or when their families sell them.) After she disguises herself as a boy and goes to the camel camps herself, she saves her life by telling stories. I can certainly relate to that.
