My big news for 2023 is that my next novel will be published in April, in Portuguese, by Editorial Presença! I can’t wait for you to read it. It’s set in 19th century Portugal, just as Gustave Eiffel (he of Eiffel Tower fame) is finishing a magnificent bridge over the Douro.

It’s the story of Henrique, a young man who is thrilled to be fleeing the harsh conditions of life far upriver among the vineyards of a Port wine estate. Behind him is a searing betrayal he wants to forget. Ahead of him is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work in a goldsmith’s shop – or so he thinks. He arrives in Porto with big dreams, but soon finds that nothing goes as planned.

If you you’re intrigued, watch this video that I made on November 4, 2022, exactly 145 years after the Eiffel bridge was inaugurated. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngt4efoZVcs)
I’ll have more to tell you soon (and hopefully have information on an English version too.)

Stay tuned!
