She sees ghosts…but are they malevolent or friendly?

Poor little rich girl Violet Yorke has seen ghosts for as long as she can remember, but no one believes her.

Not stodgy Grandmother, who took charge of the heiress after her parents were killed in a failed robbery. Nor kind-hearted Aunt Nanette, or Uncle Bertie, a charming rogue. Not even the patient Hugo Hewitt, Violet’s godfather and trustee of her vast fortune.

Everyone dismissed the child’s insistence about ghosts as a harmless eccentricity—until the night her bedroom caught fire. Violet was promptly sent overseas, fueling her anger and resentment.

Two years later, a rebellious twelve-year-old Violet is on her way back to Manhattan on the doomed Titanic. As the ship sinks into the deep Atlantic Ocean, she’s put in a lifeboat by an apparition who rescued her from the clutches of a jewel thief. Presumed lost at sea, Violet shocks everyone by crashing her own funeral.

Following Violet’s recovery, Grandmother has grand high society designs for the girl, but Violet has other ideas. She’s determined to uncover the secret of what really happened to her parents. Then there’s the mystery of the moon-faced boy at gloomy Dunham Hall and his connection to the ghost on Titanic. Also hot on Violet’s trail is the jewel thief, the specter of her murdered governess, and a vengeful ghost lurking in Violet’s childhood home.

Being a poor little rich girl in 1912 Gotham isn’t all it’s cracked up to be in this delightfully dark and droll supernatural historical fantasy.

 

Guest Post:

 A day in your writing life.

Well, a typical day in my writing life involves getting the grandkids off to school. Once that’s done, I do the mundane things like taking a shower, laundry, deciding the food menu for the day, baking, taking care of the dog, etc. Once I have all the household chores out of the way, I write for an hour or two before I break for lunch. After lunch, I write for another couple of hours until the late afternoon and stop when the grandkids come home from school.  Now depending on if I’m on deadline, I’d start writing earlier in the day and pick up again after dinner. But the biggest part of my writing routine, without fail, is to write every day no matter what even if it’s only a sentence. I’m like the mailman, nothing keeps me from writing. I really have to be at death’s door not to write.
