Good-morning, Kittens & Dawgs! I’m delighted to announce the good mews of blogger pal Jacqui’s book release, Born In A Treacherous Time! I hope you’ll take a moment to read the snippet and reviews below. If it sounds like the kind of reading groove that moves ya, then at the end I’ll tell you how to get a copy. 
Snippet…
Born in the harsh world of East Africa 1.8 million years ago, where hunger, death, and predation are a normal part of daily life, Lucy and her band of early humans struggle to survive. It is a time in history when they are relentlessly annihilated by predators, nature, their own people, and the next iteration of man. To make it worse, Lucy’s band hates her. She is their leader’s new mate and they don’t understand her odd actions, don’t like her strange looks, and don’t trust her past. To survive, she cobbles together an unusual alliance with an orphaned child, a beleaguered protodog who’s lost his pack, and a man who was supposed to be dead.
Born in a Treacherous Time is prehistoric fiction written in the spirit of Jean Auel. Lucy is tenacious and inventive no matter the danger, unrelenting in her stubbornness to provide a future for her child, with a foresight you wouldn’t think existed in earliest man. You’ll close this book understanding why man not only survived our wild beginnings but thrived, ultimately to become who we are today.
This is a spin-off of To Hunt a Sub’s Lucy (the ancient female who mentored Kali Delamagente, the female protagonist).
What others are saying about Jacqui’s book…
“Murray’s lean prose is steeped in the characters’ brutal worldview, which lends a delightful otherness to the narration …The book’s plot is similar in key ways to other works in the genre, particularly Jean M. Auel’s The Clan of the Cave Bear. However, Murray weaves a taut, compelling narrative, building her story on timeless human concerns of survival, acceptance, and fear of the unknown. Even if readers have a general sense of where the plot is going, they’ll still find the specific twists and revelations to be highly entertaining throughout. A well-executed tale of early man.” –Read entire read on Kirkus
“Born in a Treacherous Time sheds light on a period of time that gave birth to the human race, and allow us to bear witness to the harshness and tenacious spirit that is uniquely human—to survive and endure. Readers with a thirst for knowledge and who enjoy historical fiction, this is a must read. I am looking forward to reading book 2 when it is published. I devoured the book in 2 sittings.” –Luciana Cavallaro, author of Servant of the Gods series and webmaster of Eternal Atlantis

Jacqui,
I absolutely agree with ya!

Hi, Cathy & Jacqui!
Based on the snippet and the reviews, Born In A Treacherous Time is an exciting tale. It reminds us about the traits and characteristics of being human, the survival instinct, the instinct to protect our young, that united all people – today, and back through the ages. I am familiar with The Clan of the Cave Bear, but my exposure to prehistoric fiction is otherwise limited. It is a fascinating genre. Jackie is a prolific author and a very busy person. Thank you, dear friend Cathy, for introducing her to us and for telling us about her latest book which I am sure will be a great success.
I sense you understand what drew me to writing this story. How did we survive? And save our children? It took me a long time living with Lucy to figure that out!
Tom,
It sounds like you really connected with Jacqui’s storyline. That’s marvelous! I’m happy to introduce you to not only Jacqui’s book but her, dear friend.
