I am very excited to announce my new adult historical novel for Medallion Press, called The Keeners. The book brings together my enthusiasm for Irish and American history and my belief in the healing power of love. Despite its beginning in the tragedy of the Irish Famine of the 1840s, the story is one of hope and survival, romance and rebellion, as a young woman named Margaret Meehan keens for the dead in County Clare in Ireland and celebrates life in a community of Irish immigrants in Troy, New York.

The Keeners is now available! Check your local stores for a copy. You can already read an exclusive sample and see some gorgeous photos of Ireland taken by my husband, Joe Tantillo, on our research trip to the West of Ireland. Go ahead, click on Books.
