Publishers Weekly Short Takes — September 23, 2002 on Mary Relindes Ellis first novel THE TURTLE WARRIOR

Penguin publisher Kathryn Court bought a first novel set in the unfamiliar territory of northern Wisconsin, called THE TURTLE WARRIOR by local author Mary Relindes Ellis. It’s a family tale about death and survival, which in-house readers have compared to the work of Jim Harrison and Louise Erdrich. Court bought world rights, plus first serial and audio, from agent Marly Rusoff for publication early in 2004
