With complex characters adrift in emotional waters, Jane Ward’s second novel is a roiling storm

July 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Amesbury author Jane Ward is pleased to announce that her second novel, THE MOSAIC ARTIST, is published to critical acclaim and is now available in both paperback and Kindle formats.  

Her first novel, HUNGER, was published in 2001 by Forge.  Advances in social media and digital publishing gave her the opportunity to release this book independently, without any compromise in quality of writing or production.  

Ward graduated from Simmons College with a bachelor of arts in English literature. In addition to being a writer, she has spent her post-grad life in the field of culinary arts in establishments such as Creative Gourmets in Boston and The 95th Restaurant in Chicago. She currently hosts her own blog titled Food and Fiction, is a contributing writer for Local In Season, and occasionally appears in instructional cooking videos for the Gloucester Daily Times, Newburyport Daily News and the Lawrence Eagle Tribune.  

Early critical and reader response lauds THE MOSAIC ARTIST. "Ward deftly portrays the psychological dynamics of this broken family....This contemplative novel shows that the damage of divorce can endure for decades, but sometimes it can be resolved satisfactorily. Readers will find the book engrossing, as well as enlightening," writes Margaret Cullison, Foreword Clarion Review.

The Mosaic Artist is currently available in some bookstores and online at Amazon.
