Hi, Marcia. Thank you for opening your blog to me today.
I know you have an interest in the paranormal, in romance, and in thrillers. Today, I’m going to share an excerpt from my newest release, Tortured Soul, the fourth and final installment of the Medici Protectorate series. This book has all those elements (and then some).

Re-Beginning “Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers”
Two episodes weekly as prelude to an new serial.
Last week we reached the end of the line, with the final episode for the Jazz Age Wednesdays serial Hullaba Lulu.
