MY CALAMITY JANE

Jodi Meadows Cynthia Hand Brodie Ashton

Welcome to 1876 and an America bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and werewolves!

Calamity Jane is her name, and garou hunting's her game - when she's not starring in Wild Bill's traveling show, that is. She reckons that if a girl wants to be a legend, she should just go ahead and be one.

Frank "the Pistol Prince" Butler is the Wild West's #1 bachelor. He's also the best sharpshooter on both sides of the Mississippi, but he's about to meet his match. . .

Annie Oakley (yep, that Annie) is looking for a job, not a romance, but she can't deny there's something about Frank she likes. Really likes. Still, she's pretty sure that anything he can do, she can do better.

After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there's been talk of a garou cure. But things ain't always what they seem - meaning the gang better hightail it after
her before they're a day late and a Jane short.

Spanish: Urano (International Editors Co);

[...] The book's thrilling plot is driven by a brilliantly clever, collective narratorial voice.... Full of twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud humor, this tongue-in-cheek feminist alternative history is impossible to put down.... A thrilling alternative history that sparkles with wit and charm. - Kirkus

In this third volume in their thematic trilogy, the trio of author-narrators lose absolutely none of their infectious energy. Real historical characters blend seamlessly with fantasy elements, anachronistic pop-culture references (you can thank Annie Oakley for those musical theater nods!), and plenty of narrative asides. Witty and winsome, this rollicking tall tale makes its own rules (naturally), and series readers new and old will be happier for it. ¬Booklist, starred review
