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?

of
The Swan Lake Murders (Mary Wandwalker #4):
"Political sludge, ballet feathers, and storm-soaked witchcraft, in the best “what am I reading and why can’t I stop?” way.
My one gripe is it can get a little idea dense in spots, like the book is sprinting while also trying to deliver a lecture mid " Read more of this review » |

The Swan Lake Murders (Mary Wandwalker #4):
"This was such a wild, atmospheric ride in the best way. Private detective Mary Wandwalker gets pulled into a bizarre case when a grumpy politician, “Robbin’ Robin,” wants dirt on the unsettling choreographer-sorcerer Billy Dee right as London fog and"

“ 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.”

“The Alchemy Scroll works on the heart,” he said. “It plants words as I plant stones. The Scroll-maker is my brother. He paints the mysteries of God while I, guided by the Mother, built the new Hall as a door to heaven,” he said.”
