"""A delightful fall into Arthurian legend. Author/narrator Petrea Burchard paints this time-slip tale with vibrant characters and complex hues of wit and humor. Burchard's attention to detail is notable, with a sweeping range of historical references and accents. In Casey Clemens, readers and listeners will find a relatable protagonist who, in a quest to escape Hollywood, lands in the Dark Ages amidst a turmoil of knights, knaves, kings, and kismet. King Arthur has never been so entertaining."" -- ""Sara Sheckells, audiobook narrator"" ""A more-than-worthy addition to the Arthurian canon, Camelot and Vine gives listeners exactly what they want: an unlikely fish-out-of-water heroine, page-turner pacing, impeccably researched historical details, mythical characters made wonderfully human, and all of it punctuated by moments of unexpected humor and pathos. Petrea Burchard's capable narration voice is matched only by her authorial one--and both shine like Excalibur."" -- ""Julia Whelan, author of Thank You for Listening"" ""Funny, suspenseful, and poignant. The story is inventive and the writing is lovely. Casey is a likeable protagonist, easy to relate to and pull for as she encounters the figures she knows from legend and discovers that encountering them in the flesh, before their lives become the stuff of history, is an entirely different thing. Love, adventure, danger, and a well-drawn historical setting contribute to making this a book you'll want to curl up with and read again when you've finished."" -- ""Gilliam Bagwell, author of Venus in Winter"""

Author Information

Petrea Burchard grew up in northern Illinois, where farm meets university, making her a townie with a love for animals, nature, and books. She started reading as soon as she figured out how and has been an actor since she could get anyone to pay attention. Petrea's stage experience covers everything from Second City comedy to Shakespeare, and her resume includes television, film, and voice-over work. Petrea earned a bachelor's degree in creative writing with a double minor in theater and French. Along with numerous articles and short stories she has published a time-slip novel, Camelot & Vine, and a book of comic essays, Act As If: Stumbling Through Hollywood with Headshot in Hand, about being a journeyman actor in Hollywood. When she's not narrating audiobooks in her Los Angeles home studio, Petrea loves to travel. But a hike in the mountains with her husband and their pit bull, Melly, is as good as a weekend in Paris.
