Have you been to the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum in Alexandria, VA? Historical Apothecary used during the civil war. Can't wait to read your book! What inspired your story?

Arista, I haven't heard of this museum, but it sounds AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing with me. I might need to check this out once lock downs are over!
The Lost Apothecary was inspired by my discovery of something known as "mudlarking," a very popular hobby for many Londoners who look for interesting artifacts along the banks of the River Thames. Years ago when I began drafting this book, I thought it would be an interesting story beginning...a woman, present-day, finding an apothecary vial which puts her on the trail of a never-solved murder mystery.
