First draft done!
Hurrah, today 21st April 2024, I finished first draft of Mary Wandwalker 4. Currently titled MURDER BY AERY SPIRITS.
Not sure whether to modernize spelling of Aery to Airy. Older spelling points to Shakespearean echo in the story.
I wonder if anyone out there has advice?

"I grew very fond of Mary Wandwalker, even when I wanted her to stop dismissing everyone else’s ideas. She is prickly, opinionated, and determined to be sensible in circumstances that make sensible feel increasingly inadequate. Beneath all that exaspe"

"This was an interesting mystery with more going on beneath the murder investigation than I expected. Mary Wandwalker's connection to the Falconer family gives the case a personal angle, especially because of her history with David and the son she gav"

“ In 1658, Francis Andrew Ransome stole the Alchemy Scroll from St. Julian’s college, my present employer. Ransome was a member of a transatlantic group called The Invisible College. They were alchemists, meaning they worked with matter and spirit together.”

“But this Scroll too has magical properties. From the moment I first saw it, the paper warmed to my touch. I know it came alive as I held it. Did you know there’s a serpent on the back? Some say it’s a dragon. It winked at me. Its lashes are gold.”

“Mary stared at the dreamlike happenings on the page. Human figures faced each other; the man’s head was a golden ball with rays reaching up to huge stars and out to the distant mountains; the woman’s silver head was sickle-shaped and surrounded by birds like eagles with white beaks. Some of the black letters glowed because they had tips like tiny flames.”

“Trust the body of your enemy. The body does not lie. Most people,” she’d looked directly at Mary, “most people do not know how to make the body lie.”
