A moving, lyrical and thought-provoking collection of poetry from the author of the critically acclaimed memoir FAERY TALE: One Woman's Search for Enchantment in a Modern World. "The poems in NATIVE WATER offer a hopeful vision of coping with loss. Signe Pike holds tight to the small moments that fill her memory, grounding them in the tenuous things of the world. Whether she’s describing 'a martini with extra onions sweating by the pile of junk mail' or 'the flicker of a white-tipped tail,/disappearing around a bend/in the winding, muddy trail,' Pike’s vivid imagery embodies the collection’s central paradox of loving and letting go." -Marjory Wentworth, South Carolina Poet Laureate

THE LOST QUEEN SERIES is currently in development for TV with the award-winning production company Made Up Stories. Critics have lauded the series as "Impressive historical fiction. Highly recommended" (The Historical Novel Society). THE LOST QUEEN was awarded "Best Book of 2018," (Library Journal) and "Best Debut Novel," (New York Public Library) among others, while THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM was named one of Bustle and PopSugar's "Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2020." Originally slated as a trilogy, it has now become a series, with the third book coming in Sept. 2024, and a fourth book to follow. Pike's first book—the travel memoir FAERY TALE—chronicles her travels to England, Ireland, Scotland and beyond in search of healing and a new-found sense of enchantment after the unexpected death of her father in 2006.
