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

“There was no going back now. Rubber and metal could only take so much. The car could shatter and send its passengers into an elemental distillation of rock, flesh, blood, and ash. Alchemy, thought Mary, grimly. Too much bloody alchemy.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder
