I hope to do more of them, but not quite yet. Cartier's Hope, my next book will be out Jan 2020 and I hope you like that --- it has themes that I believe will resonate with my readers -- as they do with me -- but no witches:) Thank you for being a reader

The Rabbi I worked with said that is the only place they could have taken her that was holy enough to exorcise the demons. Since exorcisms did not happen often, and my research was done with a French rabbi - perhaps there are different opinions. Thank your club for reading! And if they liked it there are two other books in the series. The Secret Language of Stones and The Library of Light and Shadow. And my newest book - not about the occult at all just came out. Tiffany Blues. I do speak to clubs via Skype if they like as well.

None of them are written to be part of a series you have to read in order at all so it wouldn't seem like a series:) Was it all set in the past or past and present? If all set in the past then it would be The Witch of Painted Sorrows or The Secret Life of Stones but they were published after 2012. All my historical books are - in order
The Reincarnationist - past and present
The Memorist - past and present
The Hypnotist - past and present
The Book of Lost fragrances - past and present
The Seduction of Victor H - past and present
The Collector of Dying Breaths - past and present
The Witch of
Painted Sorrows -only past
The Secret Language of Stones - only past
The Library of Light and Shadow - only past
The Reincarnationist - past and present
The Memorist - past and present
The Hypnotist - past and present
The Book of Lost fragrances - past and present
The Seduction of Victor H - past and present
The Collector of Dying Breaths - past and present
The Witch of
Painted Sorrows -only past
The Secret Language of Stones - only past
The Library of Light and Shadow - only past

Not at all - I wrote them to stand alone or be read in order. HOPE YOU LIKE THEM!

Hi Cheryl
I did once in NYC for a period of 6 weeks... great research but as it turned out I couldn't access any past lives other than one brief image of myself walking down a path in Marblehead Ma. I was a pilgrim. Two seconds of a sight and over and out:) No matter how hard I tried. But it was fascinating. Thank you for reading my books.

Thank you so much for your kind kind words. I haven't thought about it but it would be fun to have a trip to France to do fragrance and stones. I know a French perfumer who uses stones as the idea behind each fragrance - he'd be a perfect starting point to talk of both! https://www.olivierdurbano.com/

Dear Justin
Thanks so much - what a lovely note. I appreciate it so much. I don't think I am going to - or at least not yet. When I wrote The Witch of Painted Sorrows I laid out so much of La Lune's story I'm not sure I want to go back and tell it in deeper detail -- partly I think because its so heartbreaking and has such a sad end. But another of her ancestors is coming next year, in The Library of Light and Shadows.

Thank you!!! My next novel, coming out in July 16 , The Secret Language of Stones, is about a jeweler and I LOVED writing about jewelry. I want to do another about that at a future date. I'd like to write about a sculptor, a rare book dealer, a auctioneer, and at some point I really want to write about a writer but every time I think I'm ready to do that it seems too boring to write about what I do every day.

I've never really cared for new jewelry, but old jewelry is another matter , it always spoke to me of days of old and those who once wore that ring that is now on my finger. I can almost feel that person with me. As always my curiosity is in high mode when I buy something old(new).
