A Corpse at St. Andrew's Chapel by Mel Starr

Since I have a husband who goes back to medieval days and castles, the history in the book was very enjoyable. Hugh did question the prevailing religious thought of the day as did the person of Joh...
An Encouraging Note from a Reader

She was so impressed with your book that she wanted her grandson to see that it could be done. She also would take any scripture passages that you used and would go re...
