Beware When the Cormorants Dance by Marsha Mildon
It’s been more than a decade since Rosa Amaru overcame her past as a bomber with the terrorists. She has built a new life as an archaeologist, raised her son, and learned to lean on the friendship of Canadian photographer Kelly Davis. Having danced through the fires of her revolution, she is free from the guilt that haunted her steps. Or so she thought…
Though Kelly’s Peruvian vacation ended in a terrorist takedown, she’d fallen in love with the country and made the choice to settle there with the Amaru family. Now, she is living her dream—bringing the wonders of the Andes to the screen. But dreams end, and the nightmare Kelly is about to face can’t be captured by a camera lens…
Atoq is ten years old and always hungry. Under the harsh eye of his huaquero uncle, he scours local ruins for artifacts, desperate to help his dying sister. Little does he know, an ancient mystery lies buried beneath his feet…
On the desert shores of Peru, the cormorants begin to dance. It is a dance of tragedy and love, fear and acceptance… and its dancers will never be the same.

Author Bio:
Marsha Mildon is an author of three previous novels as well as two non-fiction histories and thousands of articles on social justice issues. This novel, Beware When the Cormorants Dance, grew from Marsha’s 8 trips to Peru during which she has trekked, travelled, taught, and lived with locals. She’s talked with many Andean Peruvians about their lives, the wonderful, the tragic, and the every day. The novel has grown from those conversations along with her own experiences. It explores the love of the land, daily lives, the thousands of years of amazing ancient cultures, and Peruvians excitement at each new archaealogical discovery. But most of all, this novel explores Marsha’s characters resilience in the face of every obstacle placed in their paths.
Marsha has Masters degrees in English Literature and Online Education, as well as studying writing with W.O.Mitchell, Sylvia Fraser, and Alice Munro at the Banff School of Fine Arts, the creative writing course that turned her into a working professional writer. Her website can be found at marshamildonwriting.ca. Besides loving writing, Marsha enjoys photography (having 1000s of photos oner laptop) and most of all, she loves her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Tupac, named after the last Inca emperor.
