Hi Christine, Any word on the next Lady of Ashes book? I'm just starting #6. Thanks. Judy Nappa

I am furiously working on #7, Street of Tombs. Violet will be visiting the ancient ruins of Pompeii and finding dead bodies among the plaster casts that were being made at the time. I'm hoping to have it published within a year, but I don't have an exact date yet. COVID has wreaked havoc on things, as I know it has for everyone.

Have you read THE DEADLY HOURS, an anthology I wrote with three other authors? It has a Violet story in it. You might discover three more authors to read, as well.

Thank you so much for writing to me.

I appreciate your patience over the past couple of years. I took a hiatus from writing while resolving some personal things and while serving on the Historical Novel Society North American (HNSNA) Conference board, but, as they say, “I’m baaaaaack.”
