Author’s New Book Now Available

Author Daniel G. Keohane’s new novel, Margaret’s Ark, is now available everywhere. Here is the Amazon link, http://amzn.to/mVDVBg. For more information about Keohane and his books, visit his website, www.dankeohane.com.

Here is a description of Margaret’s Ark from Amazon, “On April ninth, thousands of people wake from the same dream, visits from angels instructing them to build a biblical ark in their front yard, or the town square or little league field. Anywhere, to prepare for the worst natural disaster to strike the world since the days of Noah. A widowed California high school teacher risks everything to build a boat in the sixty days she is given. A homeless and self-proclaimed prophet of God preaches across Boston’s waterfront, unaware that he is not alone in his visions. A young priest is torn between the signs around him and the skepticism of his Church. In the end, only thirty people may board each boat. As the world slowly comes to grips with events unfolding around them, they must weigh their own faith in the exceptional and identical visions of so many people. The skies are clear, without a hint of rain. But if the dreams are true, something terrible is looming on the horizon.”

Keohane’s debut novel, Solomon’s Grave, was a finalist for the 2009 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. His short stories have been published in a variety of magazines including Cemetery Dance and Shroud Magazine. Many have received Honorable Mention in the Year’s Best Horror anthologies. He’s an active member of the Horror Writers Association and founding member of the New England Horror Writers.
