Thank you for your support!

In the last minutes of June 30, I am still stunned that my first Goodreads giveaway attracted the attention of nearly 800 people. This is so much more success than I had hoped for, and I am so grateful to everyone who decided to take a chance on The Bell Tolling.

what a mystery! What a mystery! It’s one of the few in this series where I didn’t even have a guess at the real killer by the end, and it weaves in such interesting historical facts. Really excellent, as usual from this author.

Amena and 1 other person liked Natalie Walsh's review of Archwilde: "This book put me in a slump for months. NOTHING could compare to the world of Archwilde, and I don’t think anything ever will.
