I’m delighted to be author of the month over at Crime Squad at the moment. Lots of stuff about the background to Circle of Shadows and a very generous review too. What charming people.
And here, just because, is a picture from Splendor Solis; and alchemical text in the British Library and one of the books Harriet consults in Circle. Clicking on it will take you to the full record with lots more images.
I left a comment some time ago regarding your choice to vividly describe the killing of an animal. The death was not necessary to the plot and, hopefully, offensive to many readers. I received no response and the comment does not appear to have posted. There is no positive conclusion to be drawn, but I do want to again warn your readers that you have and may continue to use animal cruelty to further your plots-a very sad decision on the part of an otherwise fine writer.

I did though put it up on the site as soon as it came through. It was posted on the contact page.
Hi Roberta, I was just replying to your original comment as this came through.
