An intriguing, complex mystery grounded in extensive research into controversial 1890s immigration policy blended with passionate romance and a dash of wit.
Coming soon in print!
Lily is not quite a typical woman in Toledo, Ohio, 1896. She may be repressed and dependent on her husband, Johnny Pentland, but she supports the vote for women and has a mind of her own. When Johnny is found dead at a notorious brothel, she discovers he was not the man she thought he was. She takes her mother's surname, a name of her own.
Pursued by Pentland’s enemies, Lily embarks on a journey that will take her across the United States to San Francisco and across the Pacific Ocean to Imperial China as she unravels a web of murder and corruption reaching from the opium dens of Chinatown to the mansions of Nob Hill.
Her journey becomes one of the heart when she crosses paths with Jackson Tremaine, a debonair, worldly-wise physician. Lily and Jackson begin a conflicted, passionate relationship as they encounter the mysterious Celestial Girl and her dangerous entourage.
Celestial Girl, A Lily Modjeska Mystery is on Nook, US Kindle, Canada Kindle, UK Kindle, Smashwords, Apple, and Kobo.
Celestial Girl, A Lily Modjeska Mystery is on Kindle in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Japan, India, Mexico, and Netherlands.

5 stars Great Read! October 12, 2013
“I really enjoyed the story and would love to read a sequel! I really enjoy living in the 21st century, but this book made me want to visit the Victorian era. The characters were brought to life and were a delight to read about. The tasteful sex scenes were very racy. Good Job!”
