I'm starting book 3 in the Lost Treasures series. Title to be announced at a later date.

The idea came to me out of the blue. Literally. I yelped, out loud and embarrassingly so, (my dog jumped and glared), as I wondered about the tried and true author question. What if there was a series of books about real, famous, still lost treasures? After I researched those treasures, I settled on a Faberge egg, the Royal Danish Egg, hence, my first book. The other book treasures I decided to write about are secret at this point, but book 2 has had 2 drafts and is undergoing a 3rd.
