Morgan
le Fay, sixth-century Queen of Gore and the only major character not
killed off by Mark Twain in A
Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,
vows revenge upon the Yankee Hank Morgan. She casts a spell to take
her to 1879 Connecticut so she may waylay Sir Boss before he can
travel back in time to destroy her world. But the spell misses by 300
miles and 200 years, landing her in the Washington, D.C., of 2079,
replete with flying limousines, hovering office buildings,
virtual-reality television, and sundry other technological marvels.
Whatever
is a time-displaced queen of magic and minions to do? Why, rebuild
her kingdom, of course—two kingdoms, in fact: as Campaign Boss for
the reelection of American President Malory Beckham Hinton, and as
owner of the London Knights world-champion baseball franchise.
Written
as though by the old master himself, King
Arthur’s Sister in Washington’s Court by Mark Twain as channeled
by Kim Iverson Headlee
offers laughs, love, and a candid look at American society, popular
culture, politics, baseball… and the human heart.
Book is on Sale for .99 until 9/23!!
Kim
Headlee lives on a farm in southwestern Virginia with her family,
cats, goats, Great Pyrenees goat guards, and assorted wildlife.
People and creatures come and go, but the cave and the 250-year-old
house ruins—the latter having been occupied as recently as the
midtwentieth century—seem to be sticking around for a while yet.
Kim
has been an award-winning novelist since 1999 (Dawnflight,
Sonnet Books, Simon & Schuster) and has been studying Arthurian
legends and literature for nigh on half a century.
