What to expect
Casey Clemens is having a bad day. And it’s going to get worse.
It’s the day before Casey’s fortieth birthday and Hollywood doesn’t want her anymore (not that it ever did). Her career and personal life are a disaster. Frantic to escape her own emptiness, she hops on a plane to England and heads to the countryside to hide. But she can’t hide from herself.
A lightning strike, a skidding car, and a horse that might be magical send her through a gap in time to the Dark Ages, where she inadvertently saves King Arthur from Saxon warriors. Mistaken for a wizard, she goes from prisoner to friend to confidante of the King and of his young wife, Guinevere, earning the enmity of powerful men. Surrounded by enemies, caught up in a love triangle, and secretly attracted to the king, she’ll need more than a magic horse to get herself back to the twenty-first century.
A delightful intersection of contemporary fiction and historical novel, Camelot & Vine is a funny, bittersweet tale of friendship, love, and betrayal through the eyes of a woman who is lost in the present and finds her true self in the past.
Critics Review
“A more-than-worthy addition to the Arthurian canon, Camelot and Vine gives listeners exactly what they want: an unlikely fish-out-of-water heroine, page-turner pacing, impeccably researched historical details, mythical characters made wonderfully human, and all of it punctuated by moments of unexpected humor and pathos. Petrea Burchard’s capable narration voice is matched only by her authorial one—and both shine like Excalibur.”
“A delightful fall into Arthurian legend. Author/narrator Petrea Burchard paints this time-slip tale with vibrant characters and complex hues of wit and humor. Burchard’s attention to detail is notable, with a sweeping range of historical references and accents. In Casey Clemens, readers and listeners will find a relatable protagonist who, in a quest to escape Hollywood, lands in the Dark Ages amidst a turmoil of knights, knaves, kings, and kismet. King Arthur has never been so entertaining.”
“Funny, suspenseful, and poignant. The story is inventive and the writing is lovely. Casey is a likeable protagonist, easy to relate to and pull for as she encounters the figures she knows from legend and discovers that encountering them in the flesh, before their lives become the stuff of history, is an entirely different thing. Love, adventure, danger, and a well-drawn historical setting contribute to making this a book you’ll want to curl up with and read again when you’ve finished.”
