Get Lily Starling on Your Shelves

I’d love to submit my novel, Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander, for consideration in your store. As a Baltimore-based author, I appreciate the opportunity to work with independent bookstores that champion new and diverse voices locally, as well as throughout the USA and globally.

In a blend of thrilling adventure and emotional depth, Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander follows a young woman who wakes up in an unfamiliar city with no past, only to be told she is a soldier from the future. Pulled aboard the Salamander, a starship tasked with stopping a war before it begins, Lily must uncover the truth about herself before the past catches up and twists her into a weapon she never chose to be.
