In middle age I ran away with an American poet to be happy. Now I live on the west coast usa writing cozy-ish murder mysteries with 21st century themes. I aim to explore heroes who are women from the margins.

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?

Quotes by Susan Rowland  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“   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.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

“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.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

“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.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

“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.”
Susan Rowland, The Sacred Well Murders

“Janet showed her teeth. “Time to get real, Sarah. No more human sacrifices, got it?”
Susan Rowland, The Sacred Well Murders

“Don’t we know any. . .er. . .cheap lawyers?”

“What about that old coot?” Janet looked suspicious. Mr. Jeffreys was from the world of officialdom she despised.”
