My novel, Rebecca of Ivanhoe, has been accepted by Bedazzled Ink Publishing and will be released in October. It is a sequel to Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe, which told the story of a knight in medieval England who rescues a beautiful Jewish healer from being burned alive as a witch. After she is saved, Rebecca and her father flee to Spain, where they have relatives, and my novel takes up the story of Rebecca’s adventures as a healer in 12th century Spain, a tumultuous time for Jews caught between the Moors and Christians battling for control of the country. Rebecca of Ivanhoe brings to life a fascinating chapter in medieval history and introduces readers to an indomitable, yet vulnerable woman who rises above the restraints of her era to find love and help her family survive.
