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?

| It is wonderful that a book written in the 2020s is so spot on for the trials of the upper class new mother a century before. Happily married Georgiana has nanny problems because - after all - baby James is going to grow up to rule an empire. Much of ...more | |

Ed Parke's review
of
Jungian Literary Criticism: The Essential Guide (Jung: The Essential Guides):
"Very good introduction to Jung in general (for those not steeped in depth psychology) and the hermeneutical currents that emerged out of his psychology. Both a useful summary as well as a prompt to future directions."

Bitter Alpine (Emma Lord #28; Emma Lord Returns #2):
"I didn't know when I began this book that it would be the last in the series. Mary Daheim died earlier this year. I'd not seen this news but had coincidentally decided to pick up the series where I'd left off years back. Racing through Alpine Xanadu,"

“ 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.”

― 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.”

“The fire on the mountain.” That was Anna. “Alchemy,” she said. “I feel it singing in my bones.”
“Singing?” Mary would never understand Anna. The young woman turned away.
Wiseman’s reply was tinged with respect.
“That great pair of alchemists, Francis Ransome and Roberta Le More, believed the work they did affected the world’s spirit, the anima mundi. The Native Americans they met believed they too could and should interact with the Great Spirit. They lived with reverence for the land and all its peoples, the ancestors, the animals, the rocks, the trees, mountains.”
Mary’s jaw dropped; Caroline glowed; Anna pretended not to listen. Wiseman nodded, then continued.
“You mean…?” began Mary.
“Yes, it could have been so different, a meeting of like-minded earth-based spiritualities. Just imagine, what could have been?”
