Our newest contributor, Marianne LaCroix, was supposed to post her monthly contribution today, which may have been her own introduction! However, because of a death in her family, she will not be posting. Her novel Sea Hawk's Mistress, set in the Caribbean in 1622, will be released with Ellora's Cave later this summer. Here is the link to her page at Ellora's Cave. Welcome, Mari, and we wish you the best.
