Roaring Brook Twp., PA – Cecelia Mecca, a Scranton native and resident of Roaring Brook Township, is launching her debut historical romance novel, The Ward’s Bride, at Library Express at the Marketplace at Steamtown on March 3, 2017. After successfully launching a prequel novella in February into the top twenty in three of Amazon’s “Hot New Releases,” Cecelia will introduce her first full-length novel during a book reading and signing event to coincide with First Friday in Scranton.
“I’m overwhelmed by the support and excitement around the launch. Having started research for the book as a student at the University of Scranton more than twenty years ago, The Thief’s Countess is both a dream come true and a life-long goal achieved.” Mecca will launch her novel officially on March 1, 2017 exclusive to Amazon.
Set in 13th century Northumbria along the Anglo-Scottish border, both the prequel and first book in the Border Series explore a tumultuous region using divided loyalties as a backdrop for romance. Mecca earned a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at Penn State University after receiving a bachelor’s degree in education the University of Scranton and a master’s degree in English from the same school. Although her interest in medieval literature was sparked as a student, it would be more than twenty years before she combined her love of both medieval studies and the romance genre to publish her first novel.
With more than thirty reviews and an average 4.8 rating, the prequel novella became an instant favorite with historical romance fans. “The author writes romance hot enough to melt and sensual enough to make you go weak in the knees. An enchanting story with technicolor, that weaves a web of sensual suspense,” says Kristina Finskas. Another Amazon reviewer states, “I was glued to the pages, instantly. I read it in one setting…Filled with plenty of action, a secret or two, romance, intrigue and love.
