For some reason, Putnam has moved the pub date for Tied to the Tracks up to June 8 — a week earlier than planned. I don’t know why, and I suppose it’s not all that important. But I wanted to share the news.
You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.
My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
Wise Guys
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.
— H.G. Wells (attributed), Sir Osbert Sitwell

I had been wondering if publication dates are ever moved up. I would be thrilled if that happens to Queen of Swords as well.
I do not think I have ever posted on your site but I read it as often as I can. I have just gained access to high spped internet and in the past twlve hours I have been to your site five times.
I am a long time lover of the Wilderness series (the books got me through some rough times), and I am starting to read your other works. I admire your work greatly.
I am sure that hundreds of people have told you this, but one of my greastest wishes is to meet you.
Thank you for many many hours of spent in the company of good friends, Kristina Lynn
Kristina —
You are very kind. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment — and yay! for a fast internet connection. Hope to see more of you.
PS I love to meet readers, it just doesn’t happen very often.
That’s a good thing!! Less time to wait!
