FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Los Angeles, California – Laurel Anne Hill releases her third novel, Plague of Flies: Revolt of the Spirits, 1846. The YA historical fantasy tells the story of a 16-year-old Mexican girl, Catalina, and her fight for her country after American invaders declare war on Mexico. Plague of Flies releases on October 16th, 2021.
Circumstances compel Catalina to protect all those she holds dear when American invaders, called the Bear Flaggers, declare that Mexican California belongs to the United States. Faced with the imprisonment and murders of her friends, Catalina relies on guidance from people and places more powerful than herself. Catalina risks her reputation, future with the man she loves, and, ultimately, her soul to prevent the calamity she fears.
Author Laurel Anne Hill is also known for her award-winning novel, “The Engine Woman’s Light.” Hill has received over thirteen awards and honors including a Kirkus Star and the Kirkus Top 100 Indie Books recognition.
Laurel says about her newest book, “My Mexican great-grandmother, as a teen in US California during the 1860s, recruited Mexican ex-patriots to return to their country of birth and rid Mexico of French soldiers. Her dedication, and that of my great-great-grandmother and many others, helped restore the Mexican Republic. How could this bit of family history not inspire me to create a character such as Catalina? A brave young woman in the 1840s who learns to believe the unbelievable and accomplish what only she is meant to do?”
Experience mid-19th century Mexican Alta California with Catalina and the spirits she encounters along the way in Laurel Anne Hill’s latest YA novel.
