Breath of the Adamastor
is a genre-bending novel of literary historical fiction about a marine biologist's tour of duty as an Allied spy in 1940s Portugal. Under the cover of turtle research, Ardis Lowney’s mission takes her to Lisbon’s sophisticated salons, rustic villages, and sunny beach towns. Just when her cover no longer holds water, she makes an extraordinary discovery at sea, yet comes face-to-face with her would-be lover, staring down the barrel of his Luger. The narrative soars with sublime moments that clash with the absurd facades of Fatima, war, and romance. (Cavalarico Books, 2026) Breath of the Adamastor is the new title and second edition of A Life on Water (2023).
A Bill to Pay: a two-act play
is a coming of age comedy about a young man and his grandfather who come to appreciate the price of life’s little decisions. Harking back to 1988-90 when the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement was in the news, A Bill to Pay calls attention to what was lost and the price Canadians continue to pay. (Cavalarico Books, 2024)
The Tale of Indigo
is a book of poetry that explores our most-enduring myth—creation—and the great issues of our time—greed, our war with pathogens, and climate change. (Cavalarico Books, 2022)
A second chance presented itself
After revising my debut novel in a newly-titled second edition, Breath of the Adamastor, an opportunity to re-do the distribution, marketing and promotion presented itself. Rarely does one get a second chance like this. I jumped on it. I can't wait to see the hardcover with a dust jacket that is now available to bookstores and libraries via Ingram Spark. When the dust settles :) I will get back to exploring plot lines in a far-off exotic location, at least in my mind, haha.
www.cavalarico.com
My website is a growing repository of articles and background info pertaining to my books and the people who have helped me along the way. For example, Cavalarico.com presents artists who created illustrations for book covers and other marketing and promotions. My website doesn't yet present detailed info about the new distribution channels I've been setting up. This is what I'm working on now . . .
