READ THE INTERVIEW

What is the favorite book you remember as a child?
The House with the Clock in its Walls. I was an awkward kid and I identified with the hero. Plus, the story was just the right level of creepy for a child.

Tell us about your current book in 10 words.
A metaphysical mystery with interactive elements including an UnTarot app.

What are you reading right now?
The Valkyries by Paulo Cuelho. He’s been a big influence on me, alongside Jostein Gaarder.

E-Reader or print? and why?
I go between the two. Ebooks save a lot of space, and you can enlarge the print. But there’s something about paperback—its permanence, the smell of the paper, the rustling as I turn the pages…

One book at a time or multiples?
Multiples. I’ve currently got three going on my nightstand—one non-fiction, one inspirational, and one pure fun.

Dog-ear or bookmark? (don't worry—Librarian Judith won't hold it against you—much).
I prefer bookmarks—though they can be anything. A cocktail napkin. A Tarot card. An old envelope.

When do you do most of your reading?
In the afternoon and evening, after work is done and the sunlight has faded.

Favorite place to read?
I have a little reading nook, which I like for its comfy chair and excellent lighting. But I often read myself to sleep, and find books buried under the covers the next morning.

Favorite genre?
Mystery—either cozy or paranormal.

How do you keep your books organized?
I have them organized by author and subject matter on my shelves.

Re-reader or not?
If it’s a great book, then I’ll definitely re-read it, and likely get something new out of it every time.

READ THE BLURB

Seeker: As societies grow increasingly fragmented, hopelessness, nihilism, and division are on the rise. But there is another way—a way of mystery and magic, of wholeness and transformation. Do you dare take the first step? Our path is not for the faint-hearted, but for seekers of ancient truths...

All April wants is to start over after her husband’s sudden death. She’s conjuring a new path—finally getting her degree and planning her new business in bucolic Pennsylvania Dutch country. Joining an online mystery school seems like harmless fun.

But when a murdered man leaves her a cryptic message, she catches glimpses of another reality she’s unwilling to acknowledge. A reality where bygone enchantments cast cryptic shadows, and the present brims with unanswered questions.

As April works to unearth the mystery, every step brings her closer to a truth she’s been evading. And to a conspiracy of hexes that may end in her demise.

Legacy of the Witch is a spellbinding, interactive tale of a woman’s midlife quest to understand the complexities of her own heart. A paranormal women’s fiction murder mystery for anyone who’s wondered if there might be more to their own life than meets the eye…

Book 1 in the new Mystery School Series featuring the UnTarot, a deck of cards for meaning making. Start reading now!
UnTarot deck app included!

READ AN EXCERPT

Seeker:

Just start.

Yes, reading more about the subject is great. Talking to people with experience, doing your research, taking the class—good, good, good.

But these things can also be excuses to procrastinate. And the best way to learn is to just do it. (We’re not talking about throwing a bunch of money at something you know nothing about. We at the Mystery School understand the power of frugality, which is one reason why these emails are free).

So just start. Stumble. Screw up. It’s okay.

But just start.

Action item:

You know what you’ve been thinking of doing. Baby steps are encouraged, but just start.

MEET THE AUTHOR

I believe in free-will, and that we all can make a difference. I believe that beauty blossoms in the conscious life, particularly with friends, family, and strangers. I believe that genre fiction has become generic, and it doesn’t have to be.

My current focus is my new Mystery School series, starting with Legacy of the Witch. Traditionally, women’s fiction refers to fiction where a woman—usually in her midlife—is going through some sort of dramatic change. A lot of us do go through big transitions in midlife. We get divorced or remarried. The kids leave the nest. Our bodies change. The midlife crisis is real—though it manifests in different ways—as we look back on where we’ve been, where we’re going, and the time we have left.

Now in my mid-fifties, I’ve spent more time thinking about the big “meaning of life” issues. It seemed like approaching those issues through witch fiction, and through a fictional mystery school, would be a fun and a useful way for me to work out some of these ideas in my own head—about change and letting go, faith and fear, and love and longing.

After growing up on a diet of Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes, and Agatha Christie, I’ve published over 60 mysteries—from cozies to supernatural suspense, as well as an experimental fiction book on Tarot. Spending over 20 years working overseas in international development, I learned that perception is not reality, and things are often not what they seem—for better or worse.

There isn’t a winter holiday or a type of chocolate I don’t love, and some of my best friends are fictional.

“To school of course,” Bart replied, quickly adding, “I think it might rain.”

“Mommy, can I wear my rain suit too?” his little sister Olivia asked.

“Not today. The sun is shining, and the weatherman said there is no rain in sight,” replied Mommy firmly.

“He’s wrong!” shouted Bartholomew in a stern and confident voice. “I think it might rain.”

“If you want to be the only silly one on the bus dressed in rain gear, go right ahead,” Mom replied, her eyes raised and a loving smile gracing her face.

Grabbing his lunch with one hand and little Olivia’s hand with the other, Bart strolled confidently down to the end of the driveway to wait for the bus.

READ THE INTERVIEW

How did you choose your genre? What made you write this book?

I love to read contemporary romance, so when I first started writing over 20 years ago, I chose the genre I enjoy most. I wrote this book because of my love of the Florida Keys, and specifically Key West, which is the setting for “Island Detour” (although it’s called Sunrise Island). I had also learned about a semester-away environmental school for teens in the Bahamas, which fascinated me. As a result, I created Sunrise Island School.

Writers write what they know, and must observe the world. Are you a first born, middle or last child and how does this shape your view of the world?

As a first-born child, I am confident, driven, and have achieved success. That’s the positive side. On the negative side, I like to control things and am focused on being correct. I think that since I am driven and have achieved success, I believe everyone should be driven. It’s the only way to get somewhere.

Where is your favorite place to write?

I have an office at home overlooking our back yard, which is my writing space. All of my books on writing are in the closet, I have paper, pens, clips, highlighters, stickie notes, and anything else I could possibly need while I’m writing. I also have a big comfy chair that I could sit in and read my pages, if I want to edit on paper. We also have a beach house which overlooks the Atlantic. I have a desk there that faces the ocean in our second floor bedroom. While I don’t have all my “stuff” there, all I need is my laptop and notebook with my in-depth outline of my story, and I’m good to go.

How do you feel about killing your darlings, and what do you do with the remains?

I’m guessing you’re talking about editing out scenes that I love or re-writing a story because the first version isn’t working. I can’t say that I love it, but I understand that it may be necessary. I save everything I’ve edited out into another document in case I can use it in a different scene.

You are introduced to your favorite author. Who is it, and what is that one burning question you must ask them?

Interestingly, I just met and had lunch with Fiona Davis (Lions of Fifth Avenue, The Spectacular etc.) She writes historical fiction that takes place at iconic buildings in New York City, which I love. My first question: how did you come up with such an interesting niche?

Inquiring minds want to know…tell readers something about you that no one knows.

I was inducted into The Italian American Hall of Fame in 2014.

You are stranded on a deserted island with only a back pack for company. What three items are in your survival pack?

Water
Kindle
Some long life battery to keep my Kindle from dying

If you could have one super power in your existence, what would it be?

Flying. I often dream that I can fly and it’s awesome.

Favorite snack?

Milk chocolate candy

Indy 500 - Do you know how to get where you’re going or do you drive the speed limit?

I generally know how to get where I’m going. I’m a planner/plotter after all. I rarely drive the speed limit. I need to get where I’m going as quickly as possible so I can enjoy every minute of the destination.

READ THE BLURB

Falsely accused of wrongdoing at a Princeton Prep school, Sophie Kearns accepts a temporary teaching position at an environmental school in the Florida Keys to wait out her suspension. The time away is meant to be an anxiety-free escape, but her clashes with the hot but arrogant marine biology teacher, Max Heaton, are anything but tranquil.

Max is determined to start an environmental research institute at the school, but he suspects the gorgeous new Lit teacher, who lacks even the most basic outdoor skills, is there to hinder that dream. Yet, something about her tames the demons from his past, and he can no longer ignore the fire she’s lit inside him.

READ AN EXCERPT

It wasn’t long enough before Max and Ben ushered Sophie to the fishing boat. She inhaled huge breaths of salt air, hoping the oxygen would perform some magic on the dull throb in her head.

“I know you’re going to find this hard to believe,” she started hesitantly, “but I don’t know how to fish.”

“What a surprise.” Max didn’t even bother to moderate his sarcasm.

Sophie’s scowl fell on his back as he and Ben gathered up rods and reels, a tackle box, and cartons of what she could only assume contained live bait. He had been sniping at her for days. Ever since Andy had asked her to cover for him as director. It was as if she had caused Andy’s accident intentionally, just to take over his job and keep it from Max.

She followed them onto the dock and into the boat, wishing she had brought her bottle of aspirin to dull the pain of this ill-conceived trip.

She sat on the bench, quiet as a church mouse, as Max steered the boat out toward the ocean. Her eyes betrayed her as they were drawn to the muscles in his back and shoulders, stretching and straining with each movement. His tawny, bronze skin glistened with a layer of sunscreen and ocean mist. A work of art. His jaw was square and tight, his cheekbones chiseled. Soft, wavy brown hair blew straight back from his forehead, giving her a bird’s-eye view of one very gorgeous man. Oh, so easy on the eyes. Too bad he wasn’t as easy on the nerves.

Straight Chatting from the Library: Heather G. Marshall

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Heather G. Marshall will award a randomly drawn winner a $20 Amazon/BN GC. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

READ THE INTERVIEW

What is the favorite book you remember as a child?

I read all of the Enid Blyton Famous Five and Secret Seven books—fairly typical for a girl of my generation in Scotland. I also loved James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small. I wanted to be a large-animal vet.

Tell us about your current book in 10 words.

When the Ocean Flies is a powerful tale of adoption, identity, and love.

What are you reading right now?

I’m reading the books of several fabulous authors who are also published by Vines Leaves Press: Study in Hysteria, by Kathleen Collins; The Angle of Flickering Light, by Gina Troisi; and A Hard Silence, by Melanie Brooks. The first is a novel and the others are memoirs. They all have strong female protagonists, great depth, and excellent storytelling.

E-Reader or print? and why?

Print. I still love the feel of a book in my hands. I love the sensory experience of reading—it’s more than just casting my eyes across a page. And I’m better able to find passages I love and want to return to. Also, if it’s a book I thoroughly enjoy, I may annotate it.

One book at a time or multiples?

I usually read no more than two books at a time—one fiction and one nonfiction. I like to be fully immersed when I’m reading and don’t want to get the stories muddled.

Dog-ear or bookmark? (don't worry—Librarian Judith won't hold it against you—much)

Both, plus sticky notes. Sorry, Librarian Judith. (I would, of course, never, ever dog-ear a library book or one belonging to someone else! I usually use a bookmark but sometimes misplace them, in which case, dog-ear or, if I have one handy, which I often do, sticky note.

Favorite place to read?

On the deck, with a steaming cup of tea, in the morning sun.

Re-reader or not?

Yes. The books I like are not just about the story; they are well crafted. There’s a joy in returning to the way the story is told—the sentences, paragraphs, scenes. It’s similar to walking a trail again and again—you’ve already taken in all the views, so you know what’s coming but there’s a joy in traversing again and noticing more details each time.

READ THE BLURB

An email from a stranger tells Alison Earley that her natural father, whom she has known for only six years, has died suddenly. What begins as a short trip back to Scotland for a funeral soon becomes a journey that puts adoption, sexuality, and identity on a collision course as Alison finds herself caught between the life and family she has so carefully constructed on one continent and the family from which she was taken on another.

Shunned by her father's family, reunited with her natural mother, and reconnected with a long-lost love, Alison finds herself trying to shepherd her youngest child towards college while questioning everything she thought she knew about herself.

When her natural mother uncovers a series of letters written to Alison from the grandmother she never knew, resurrecting stories of generations of women--stories long buried by patriarchal rule--Alison realizes that she must find the courage to face and reveal the secrets of her own past. At what cost, though? And who and what will be left in the aftermath?

When the Ocean Flies explores the pain of separation and abuse, and the power of love to heal even over huge gaps in time and geographical distance.

READ AN EXCERPT

Strange to think I’ve been walking this earth, turning face to sky, swimming in the waters for over three quarters of a century. So much has changed, and yet, so little. Women gained the right to vote just before I arrived in this life. We went out in droves to do the work our men had done while they went off to fight the Germans. And then we returned to our homes and our children, expected to return to the way things had always been. That’s what they say—it has always been that way. But I know, and you do as well, that it hasn’t always. Still, we returned to a way of life that denied women like Mary their right to claim their own child unless they had the benefit of a man’s ring on their hand.

Now, in the infancy of a new century, we find footing in a world built by the men who came before, still with much of our truth buried, fossils of the soul.

I did not fully realize how much of that I’d done to myself until after Hamish died. He was a good man. It wasn’t even conscious that I held myself in for him. I loved him. Did as I was told to do. After his death, though, I felt myself begin to unfurl. I returned to reading the cards, returned to reading the air and the sky. Began to find my voice in paint and canvas and here, on these pages.

READ THE BLURB

For centuries, Gamekeepers have used their magical abilities to create a buffer between the creatures who dwell in the enchanted forest and the sleepy coastal town that sits in its shadow. When Gamekeeper Stan Ross’s magic begins to fail, he must find out what went wrong, then fix it before the two worlds collide. His hit or miss magic has already led to a few close calls so he journeys to the Sacred Isle searching for answers and advice. Finding a cure proves elusive—until Stan encounters a kitchen witch who captivates him body and soul. Lynnette Peters is healing from her own wounds, however, and it isn’t clear whether she’s ready to open herself to the possibility—or the peril—of love.




READ AN EXCERPT

“I’m not sick, sir” Stan answered, uncomfortable with where the conversation was heading. He swallowed, then cleared his throat. “I haven’t changed the way I cast a ward. My magic is elemental, so I rely on nature runes, overlaid with those representing broader concepts. I might choose an animal rune, or a rune representing a natural element. It depends on the creature I’m warding, and what its habits are. Once I have the base rune, I add on layers, and then finish it with something representing strength or luck. I guess I’m in a bit of a rut. My magic is feeling tired, lately. When it works, it doesn’t have the same staying power, and sometimes it just doesn’t work at all.”

Tapping his fingers on the desk, Covington regarded Stan with sympathy, then nodded. “You’re certainly not the first gamekeeper to hit a rut, and you won’t be the last. I think that a little bit of rest and relaxation is what’s needed here. I am going to suggest—no, I’m going to insist—that you take some time off and recharge your batteries. Meanwhile, I’ll give some thought to damage control."

Stan dipped his head in acknowledgment, but his posture was rigid as he exited the office. Finding his partner in the break room, Stan told him that Covington was taking him off the duty roster, and insisting he take some leave. “I don’t know, Owen” he said, picking dust off his sleeve and shaking his head. “I haven’t taken any vacation time in over a year, so maybe Covington has a point, but I feel like I’m more than just tired. I’m soul tired. I’m not sure that a week on my sofa with daytime TV and a tray of bonbons is going to fix anything.”
