A NEW SAGA BEGINS

BLOOD OF THE DRAGON TREE
A Novel by Michael Ritchie

This blog page will suppport my web domain page (bloodofthedragontree.com) as part of the marketing effort for my new novel, "Blood of the Dragon Tree: The saga of Congo Julia". It follows my first novel "Cayo Hueso/Cuba Libre", which became a Keys Best Seller.

"Blood of the Dragon Tree" tells the story of Congo Julia, an African princess who was abducted by Spanish slave traders and taken to Cuba in the mid-nineteenth century. She eventually becomes freed and moves to Key West, where she lives to age 110. But at her death, her story is just beginning! The tale is spiced with spellbinding mysteries of the Afro-Cuban religion Santeria. And Mac McKinney, lead character from "Cayo Hueso/Cuba Libre," returns-- much against his will-- in this new and exciting saga.

This new novel is near completion and I expect it to hit bookshelves this Fall.

"Cayo Hueso/Cuba Libre" is available online at Amazon.com .

I will post regular updates on "Blood" here. Occasionally I might report on some Key West news as well.
