March is a month of transitions: winter into spring, cold into warmth, snow & ice into rain & more rain.
How did your March begin? Into like a lion, so it will leave like a lamb? Or in like a lamb, to roar out like a lion?
This year began with a celebration of a new novella venture, into the gothic suspense subgenre. January introduced the year with The Dark Lord while February added The Bride in Ghostly White to my new venture.
March focuses on the duology of those two novellas, offering them in paperback as well as ebook. This will be the only paperback version of these works.
Herewith Perils in Lace and Hard Iron.
Everyone knows there’s no such thing as ghosts. Someone needs to tell the ghosts.
The Dark Lord ~ A Regency Gothic Mystery
Something strange is driving servants from Feldstone Grange.
Elizabeth Fortescue is too desperate to reject the offer of housekeeper, and
Baron Harcourt is desperate to fill the position.
On her first night at the Grange, Elizabeth encounters two
ghosts. One is the well-known Silent Lady. The other ghost persists in haunting
her, enticing her to follow it.
Is it a real ghost? Is a fellow servant attempting to
terrify her? Or does someone have a wicked reason to haunt the new housekeeper?
Elizabeth doesn’t know the answer—but she has more incentive
to stay than leave.
Will she remain at the Grange? Or will the second ghost’s
increasing hauntings drive her away?
Or lead her into death?

The Bride in Ghostly White ~ A Victorian Gothic Mystery
When Enid’s beloved cousin died while riding, she didn’t
believe the simple tragic words of an accident.
Seeking the truth, she disguises herself as a lady’s
companion to enter the household at Derlaston Manor.
Rumors do not just tell of trouble after the wedding of her
cousin to the eighth Baron of Derlaston. Enid also learns of the baron’s need
for money, of his late father’s unlucky death while riding, and of a mysterious
mistress at the estate when her cousin died.
A black-haired vagabond lurks in a nearby woodland.
And a ghost haunts the manor, a ghost who looks very like
Enid’s cousin.
Did the baron commit murder? Or one of his family? Or that
mysterious vagabond?
The ghost knows … but the ghost isn’t telling.
