Fresh from Windlass comes Rowan of the Wood

Please join us to celebrate the release of Rowan of the Wood, the premiere novel from the newest members of the Dalton Gang, Christine and Ethan Rose. BookPeople (603 N. Lamar) will host a release party this Saturday, October 18 at 3pm. Ghoulish treats, a costume contest (with prizes!), and activities for all ages will make this a fun-filled afternoon for everyone! Christine and Ethan will be on hand to take part in the festivities, sign autographs, and treat us to a reading from their novel.

Rowan of the Wood marks Dalton Publishing’s foray into the world of young adult fiction, emerging as the initial release from the new Windlass line. The first in a planned five-book series, Rowan tells the story of Cullen, a young orphan from California who finds himself caught up in a fantastical world of magic, enchantment, and wonder. Austin Monthly recently hailed Rowan of the Wood as a “great addition to the wizarding world,” featuring it as their “Book-to-Read” for the month of October. Readers young and old alike are sure to enjoy this spellbinding tale that Midwest Book Review has called a “fun and imaginative read.”
