Hi Gregory,
I'm trying to find time to work on a new Tudor story that's unfortunately taking a back seat at the moment to helping draft changes to our town's ordinances.
It's about a dwarf who grows up in a monastery and finds his way to Henry VIII's court. He overhears some incriminating news and is brutally mutilated when discovered. He decides to exact his revenge on those who hurt him. There will be some familiar historical figures in the story, like the 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and Archbishop Cranmer. Those are the basics. I'm writing it in the first person, so that is a different angle for me to master.
I hope to get rolling with it very soon and I expect it will take about a year to complete a polished manuscript. Thank you for asking and stay safe!

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for reading and reviewing The Alchemist's Daughter. Every review means a lot to me. There are 4 other books in the Bianca Goddard mysteries. You can read their synopsis here on Goodreads and they are available at libraries and retailers. If you read the others and get to book 5 let me know, I have some rejected print copies and I could send you one.
Best, Mary

Hi Sheri,
Thanks for following the series! The finished manuscript is due on my editor's desk March 1. I'm hoping I can push them to get it out in 2018. But the first draft is done and I'm cleaning it up now. No title has been decided yet. That's up to marketing and my editor.

Hi Kathy,
So far, 5 are contracted. I haven't decided if that is going to be it or not; of course it depends on Kensington, too. I have an idea for a different story set in the same time period. I'm just playing it by ear right now.

I may decide to revisit Bianca and the gang. I don't believe I'd find a traditional publisher to pick up the series but I may be wrong. Right ...more
