Hi Barb:
I'm happy to say that I signed a three-book contract with Kensington. Julia and Tennant will be back for more murders! The next novel picks up where MURDER BY LAMPLIGHT left off. It's set in the Victorian art world. Someone is targeting London's women artists, and then their models disappear and turn up dead.
In the third novel, the murder of a servant points to a plot against the royal family.
Thank you for asking!

“We are living in a time of extremes, asked to align ourselves either with the forces of darkness or the forces of light. The thoughtful man—or woman—always sees the shades of gray. But in these days, danger gathers in the twilight. (Percy in Clock Master's Daughter)”
