Elizabeth Bunce Spins Words Into Gold!

This week we are celebrating the release of Elizabeth Bunce’s debut young adult novel, A Curse Dark as Gold. Check out this cover! Isn’t it gorgeous?

Check out the story:

Upon the death of her father, seventeen-year-old Charlotte Miller struggles to keep the family's woolen mill running in the face of an overwhelming debt and what the villagers believe is a curse. But when a man capable of spinning straw into gold appears on the scene, she must decide if his help is worth the price.

Meet Elizabeth: Elizabeth C. Bunce has been a writer and needleworker since childhood. A Curse Dark as Gold reflects her passion for traditional tales, of which she says, "I’ve always been interested in what the original tales left out—the stories beneath the stories. What kind of person would sell her own child, and how could we possibly sympathize with her? What does Rumpelstiltskin want the baby for? I wanted to write a story where we came to know these people, and how their lives made such a devastating intersection.”In her spare time, Elizabeth is an accomplished needlewoman with an interest in embroidery and historical costuming. Elizabeth lives near Kansas City with her husband and dogs. Visit her website at http://www.elizabethcbunce.com/.

Congratulations, Elizabeth!
