A great war, a great love, and the mythology that unites them; The Hawkman: A Fairy Tale of the Great War is a lyrical adaptation of a beloved classic. Set against the shattering events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, at the tale’s heart are an American schoolteacher—dynamic and imaginative—and an Irish musician, homeless and hated—who have survived bloodshed, poverty, and sickness to be thrown together in an English village. Together they quietly hide from the world in a small cottage. Too soon, reality shatters their serenity, and they must face the parochial community. Unbeknownst to all, a legend is in the making—one that will speak of courage and resilience amidst the forces that brought the couple together even as outside forces threaten to tear them apart.

A Fairy Tale of the Great War

The Hawkman

Sisterhood of the Infamous is a masterful work, dense with meaning. The spot-on prose depicts the characters and their world so finely, that through-out LaForge's precise unveiling of her fascinating characters, every reader will often catch themselves thinking, 'God, that's me!', even if in some cases the thought of that would not be particularly pleasant... As the novel proceeds, more and more the two sisters assume the characteristics of interlocking puzzle pieces; totally different, but each only completely fathomable when held up against the other... LaForge possesses the enviable skill of revealing just enough along the road to keep the reader guessing and wanting to know what's next; wanting to keep turning the pages.

Sisterhood of the Infamous

In Daphne and Her Discontents, Jane Rosenberg LaForge investigates the relationship between fathers and daughters. She returns with Medusa’s Daughter, in which she wrestles with the legend of Medusa to explore the life and legacy of her own mother. A simultaneous act of homage, and revision, Medusa’s Daughter asks whether an inheritance is fate or merely a template that can be rejected or embraced. The poems also explore how one anonymous woman, seemingly consigned to a life designed by patriarchal culture, still influenced generations, and inspired them to live on their own terms.
