Entombed within a cache of holy relics from Medieval England, the ghost of a young boy knows only that he must protect these holy treasures. It is up to Donna Howard, an antiquities appraiser who can speak with the spirits, to help him confront his past and reclaim his birthright. Even when the crime is five hundred years old, Donna is determined to solve the case.

Om författaren

Katherine Woodbury reveres Jane Austen, Columbo, classic fairy tales, and cats.

The author of twenty-five published short stories and eight novellas, Katherine (Kate) has spent her writing career analyzing mermaids, Greek heroes, Joan of Arc, a devil’s assistant, aliens with wings, and a not-quite-dead Viking funeral bride.

Now she’s turned her writing hand to a mystery series with paranormal elements and a no-nonsense detective.

All good mysteries are grounded in social behavior. Kate began her apprenticeship of human idiosyncrasies with tributes to eighteenth and nineteenth century classics: A Man of Few Words (based on Pride & Prejudice), Persuadable (Persuasion), and Mr. B Speaks! (Samuel Richardson’s Pamela).

Next came the Victorian fantasy series, “The Roesia Chronicles,” including (so far) Aubrey: Remnants of Transformation, Richard: The Ethics of Affection, Lord Simon: The Dispossession of Hannah, and Tales of the Quest.

As well as a writer (and reader) of fantasy, history, mystery, and romance, Kate (Katherine) enjoys watching mystery shows and classic sitcoms, collecting manga, and following through on her day job: teaching humanities courses at Maine community colleges. She can be reached at [e-mail].
