The Muse of Kill Devil Hills
Greeting, fellow students of Aviation!
I have a new novel out -- The Muse of Kill Devil Hills: A Historical Fantasy
Having long been a follower and admirer of the Wright Brothers, I was always astounded by the fact that these two bicycle builders from Dayton were able to best Langley in the quest for controlled, powered flight. The most I examined the story, the more unlikely it seemed. So I decided to re-write the history (a tad) and give Wilbur a muse. A Greek Muse. Polyhymnia, to be precise.
Anyway, I would love to hear this group's reaction to the result. I mention it now because I've put the e-book on Kindle Countdown this week (Oct. 14-20) for $1.99 (less than the price of Two-Buck Chuck nowadays):

If this still seems like blatant self-promotion, send me a PM and I'll be happy to e-mail a PDF. I'm far more interested in your opinion than your two bucks!
So, if you weren't sufficiently outraged by Hazelgrove's "Wright Brothers, Wrong Story," give my Muse a try... it's a fun flight of fancy, I promise.
Thanks a million,
Mary
