Book Blurb Reveal
Love, danger, and loss intertwine beneath the gaslamps. The official blurb for Benandante is now live—enter a world of moonlit fog, gilded secrets, and a romance shaped by shadows.
Secrets & Love Letters
Valentine's day can be a day to reveal your heart to another. For multiple reasons, Mr. Ezra Morgan does not reveal his heart to Mrs. Euphemia Beaufort on this day, or any other day.
Romance in Edwardian Shadows
I couldn't let February pass by without talking about the romance you'll find in Benandante. This story was born out of a romance that I thought went too far. The whole reason I decided to write my Edwardian fantasy was because as I watched the final season of Penny Dreadful, it was wrong to me that Ethan and Vanessa became romantically involved.
Edwardian Superstitions
The Edwardian era was a mix of old beliefs and modern technology. Many superstitions from the Victorian era continued into the early part of the 20th century. Some more evil/bad while others were good or in fun. Read on to learn about specific superstitions I found interesting while doing research.
The Mood of Benandante
I wish I could say that my writing space while working on Benandante was in a moody library at a desk with an inkwell and candlelight. But I wrote my Edwardian fantasy on a laptop, mostly in my bed. Thankfully, I don't need to be deep in character to write a story. Imagination is enough. Where did the mood for this widowed witch and ghost-seeing pianist come from?
