Waiting on Wednesday: Steel

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine. "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



Steel by Carrie Vaughn
Pub. Date: March 15, 2011


Goodreads says, "When Jill finds a rusty sword tip on a Caribbean beach, she is instantly intrigued—and little expects it will transport her through time to the deck of a pirate ship. Will a dark enchantment, salty kisses, and a duel with an evil pirate captain leave her stranded in the eighteenth century forever?  Drawing on piratical lore and historical fact, Carrie Vaughn creates a vivid world of swaying masts and swelling seas, where blood magic overrules the laws of nature, romance is in the air, and death can come at the single slip of a sword."


*I love the sound of this one! Time travel? Check. Caribbean beaches? Check. Pirates that hopefully look like Johnny Depp? Check.  This is a must read for me!

    I am a sucker for time travel tales... this sounds good! (And when I saw you had named your dog Scout, it was impossible that I wouldn't follow you're blog! I'm working on a first novel and when it starts to annoy me, I call the pile of papers "Dill"...)
