Waiting on Wednesday: The Wake Of The Lorelei Lee

Because we all have something we're waiting for.

Jacky Faber, rich from her exploits diving for Spanish gold, has purchased the Lorelei Lee to carry passengers across the Atlantic. Believing she has been absolved of past sins against the Crown, Jacky docks in London to take on her crew, but is instead arrested and sentenced to life in the newly formed penal colony in Australia.

To add insult to injury, the Lorelei Lee is confiscated to carry Jacky and more than 200 female convicts to populate New South Wales. Not one to give in to self pity, Jacky rallies her sisters to "better" their position—resulting in wild escapades, brushes with danger, and much hilarity. Will Jacky find herself a founding mother of New South Wales, Australia? Not if she has anything to do about it!

Series: Bloody Jack (#8)
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Release Date: September 13 2010

You have NO IDEA how excited I am for this. Well. Maybe you have an idea, because I have a whole Bloody Jack week, which shows just how much I love the series. But the best Bloody Jack book isn't the one(s) with her and Jaimy - though they're adorable - or the one(s) where she's with her crew - which are wicked awesome - but the one in which she takes the Lawson Peabody Girls and proceeds to kick some ass.

Needless to say, I am STOKED.
