Maggie and Andrew live on separate continents, but are connected through their minds. Communicating through visions, they rescue each other from violence and death.
THRILLED to announce: I have accepted an offer for a two book deal Berkley Publishers.
Under the Same Sky is an 18th century journey told through the perspectives of two individuals.
MAGGIE JOHNSON, a simple girl born in South Carolina, has “the Sight”. ANDREW MACDONNELL is a Scottish Highlander.
They've never met, but through visions Maggie and Andrew have always known each other. His messages help her survive horrific violence when she and her sisters are captured by slave traders. Maggie is rescued and adopted by the Cherokee, where she learns about her gifts and how to develop them.
Her messages to Andrew aid him in mortal combat across the sea. Andrew leaves Scotland to find Maggie in America. Before he arrives she comes face to face with the leader of the slave traders and kills him in self-defense. She is sentenced to hang.
Will Andrew be too late? Will they endure long enough to finally touch?
The book is told in sections devoted to either Maggie or Andrew, eventually merging when the two draw geographically closer to each other.
Under the Same Sky is complete at 90,000 words.
