<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Just as I felt nothing could
possibly shake my world, my husband whispered in my ear, “Tomorrow’s the day.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
We were in the
library of Darcy’s penthouse and I had just settled into one of our two
armchairs, wearing a pale-green nightgown and matching robe. A book about Anne
Boleyn rested in my lap. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The pink poodle
slippers permanently borrowed from Darcy’s sister, Georgiana, were on my feet. I
kept them in the library for fireside chats. The slippers, acting as foot
puppets, spoke for me on the occasions when I was too polite to push a point. The
slippers were very outspoken whereas I was not, except on rare occasions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“We are to
honeymoon…finally?” the left slipper said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The right slipper
interrupted. “We have waited long enough.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Fitzwilliam Darcy
and I had been married for a tad bit longer than six months. Most of that time
we had spent sequestered in his apartment in One Snyde Park, the ritziest and
most secure structure in all of London. My husband’s devotion to protecting
London’s historic real estate had caused us to repeatedly delay our honeymoon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Cuddling with
Darcy was a lovely way to spend long, lazy days but I was getting antsy and wished
to add a bit of adventure and perhaps a bit of spice to our lives. Still waters
run deep, and Darcy was the most still of waters; I assumed he had something
brewing as he had been terribly quiet for the last few days. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
It appeared he had
finally completed the plans for our honeymoon. It was to be a surprise
destination and a honeymoon unlike any other, or so Darcy said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I had imagined us in
dozens of exotic settings from mountaintops to jungles and finally fixed my
dreams on a stilt house in the clear turquoise waters of the Maldives. And to
be certain my darling husband took my suggestion, I began to leave travel
magazines open to pictures of love nests standing alone in crystal-clear water
with creamy white sands visible through the gentle ripples. Any part of the Maldives
would do, just somewhere we could spend hours slathering sunscreen on each
other and swimming in the all-together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Well, my love, we
are off to Scotland!” he said, sounding proud of his choice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I rather liked
Scotland with its breathtaking bens and lochs, but although it is one of the
most beautiful of countries, outside of my own dear England, it is not exactly
known for its nude swimming beaches, and hypothermia is more common than
sunburn.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Darcy knelt at my
chair and held my face in his hands. I gazed up into his deep brown eyes and
read more meaning into his plans than he had revealed. “This is about the Red
Rosary, isn’t it?” I said biting my lip and hoping I was wrong. Bye, bye,
honeymoon. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The rosary was a
priceless Templar antiquity and one more proof that the legend of the destruction
of the Templars was, in fact, a fact. Darcy temporarily held the rosary secure
in the vault in his apartment. I must get used to saying <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our,</i> as in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our apartment</i>.
The word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our</i> was an alien concept as
Darcy was one of the richest men in England, and I was a struggling dog
psychologist whose only clients were Darcy’s two basset hounds, Derby and
Squire. And yet Darcy wished me to say <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our</i>
as he had bestowed all his worldly goods on me upon our marriage.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
My handsome
husband sat on the ottoman at my feet employing his serious face. “It is time
to return the rosary to the bed of history until the Templars are prepared to
disclose <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all</i> that was done to them
and to hold fast to their treasures in the face of claims by the Vatican. It is
my duty and my honor to protect the Red Rosary. I have thought long and hard
about how best to transport it to Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
He rubbed his
fingers over my hands as he chose his words. “Much has been made in books and
movies of the chapel being the depository of the Templar treasures. Our historians
have denied and denied that the chapel holds our treasures, but people remain
unconvinced. There are those in Rome who might know at this moment that I
possess the rosary. If I attempt to bring it to Rosslyn Chapel with guards and
a secured vehicle, I might as surely draw a map certifying the chapel as the
location of all the Templar treasures and evidence.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I studied his mouth
while he spoke. Darcy possessed the most delicious lips, firm and just moist
enough. Biting the inside of my cheek, I brought myself around to pay attention
to his words. “What of our honeymoon?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
He must have
realized I was lusting as he grinned a crooked grin, provoking the dimple on
the left side of his mouth. “First the rosary and then the honeymoon. We will
use our honeymoon in Scotland as a cover for our journey to Rosslyn Chapel.
From there your wish is my command.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I like the sound
of that.” I imagined us floating in the waters of the Maldives while little
fish nibbled at my toes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Here is my plan.
Early tomorrow we will drive your Range Rover to Edinburgh and fiddle a bit in
the traffic of the city to lose any possible followers. From there it is but a
short drive to Rosslyn Chapel. Your Rover won’t attract the attention that my
saloon car would. We shall bring cameras and equipment to make it appear to any
Vatican spies that we are going on a photo tour for our honeymoon. It will not
be very romantic, but it should be touristy enough to not arouse suspicion.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
So far the plan
was acceptable. As one of my many wedding presents from my darling husband,
Darcy had replaced my old Range Rover with a shiny new model. It was white with
all the bells and whistles including white leather fold-down seats and hidden
compartments.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Will we be
stopping in quaint country inns along the way?” I thought of what I might want
to wear to set the mood and perhaps pretend we are in another century. Maybe
the early nineteenth century? I imagined wearing Regency dresses and pinning my
hair in an upsweep. I could make this pre-honeymoon jaunt into a romantic
holiday.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Darcy flattened
that thought. “We shall take the M6 straight away. It’s about a seven-hour
trip. No overnight stops until I have entrusted the rosary. You don’t mind
visiting the burial vaults beneath Rosslyn Chapel, do you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
What could be more
romantic? But I understood. Duty first, dilly-dallying second. Even if the
dallying was our honeymoon. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Darcy stood and
helped me from my chair. He clutched me to his chest, kissed the top of my head
and ran his tongue over the shell of my ear. “Since we leave in the morning, shall
we practice for our honeymoon in Scotland, Mrs. Darcy?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I doubt we need
practice, Mr. Darcy. But if we are to rehearse at all, let us do so with the
Maldive Islands in mind.” I kissed his lips. Then slipping out of the poodle
slippers, I stepped into my ballet flats and let my husband lead me down the
long corridor to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our </i>bedchamber. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
We spent an hour
or so rehearsing for our honeymoon, and finally came to rest between the black
satin sheets of our bed. Darcy fell asleep, breathing evenly. I lay there
watching him, marveling at all that had brought us together. At our first
encounters, I thought him a pompous ass, but slowly he had won me over. He
could still be a pompous ass at times, but now he was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">my</i> pompous ass. I fell asleep with visions of floating in warm,
crystal-blue waters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The bedside phone
rang, yanking me from my sleep. I looked at the clock. It was three in the
morning. My first thought was that something had happened to my father. He had
been feeling poorly the last few weeks and I did worry about him. Mother was
not the best of caretakers; in actuality she was one of the worst. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I scrambled for
the receiver and put it to my ear as I rolled away from Darcy still sleeping
soundly at my side. It was my sister Mary who ran a children’s refuge
established and funded by Darcy. Most of the children who stayed at the Marley
Street Children’s Home were victims of poverty or poor parenting. A few of the
children lived with Mary full-time. She did a lovely job of nurturing the
little ones.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Her voice was
urgent and on the verge of tears. At all times stalwart, Mary’s quavering tone
shook me awake. “Lizzie, I need you. Please come here as fast as possible. You
know I would not call if it were not a dire emergency!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<o:p> </o:p><b style="line-height: 200%; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> </span></b></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Darcy was undisturbed by Mary’s
call. He had a long day ahead of him, driving to Scotland and doing whatever
was required to place the Red Rosary in safekeeping. He needed the sleep, there
was no sense in waking him as this could be something easily handled by two
women. I was up for anything and Mary was a capable, take-charge lady, but then
why did she sound panicked?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Slipping into the
dressing room, I donned black slacks, a black sweater, and black boots on the
chance Mary’s needs required stealth. I ran a brush through my hair and pulled
it back into a clip. I scribbled a note saying I had gone to Mary’s and left it
taped to Darcy’s dressing-room mirror.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Closing the
bedroom door quietly behind me, I stepped into the corridor and waved at the
security camera. Darcy’s bodyguard, Edward, appeared from one of the sliding
walls. I had come to take the whole hocus-pocus sliding-walls security for
granted, and loved having a chauffeur at my fingertips. Despite my
independence, I was coming to realize I was spoilable. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“My sister Mary
has an emergency at the Marley Street Children’s Home,” I said to Edward. “Please
have the chauffeur bring around the limo, should she require ferrying a group
of children to hospital.” My thought was that an emergency medical trip was a
possibility. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Edward looked at
me and then at the bedroom door. He knew better than to question me or waken
Darcy. He tapped his shoulder communicator and called Matthew, the head of
security. “I am escorting Mrs. Darcy on an errand. Please take over my post.”
He clicked off. Tapped again and called the chauffeur. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
We took the
private elevator down to Darcy’s personal garage. The limo stood ready with Joseph,
the chauffeur, holding the door. I sat in the back and Edward rode next to
Joseph. We were off to sort out Mary’s emergency. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The Marley Street Children’s
Home was located in a lower-middleclass section of London. Not the safest place
at three in the morning, but with Edward and Joseph at my side I figured we could
take on any hooligans and even a few louts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Joseph parked at
the curb and stayed in the limousine while Edward and I approached the front
steps. Before I could knock, Mary opened the door. She must have been waiting
at the peephole. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Mary put her
finger to her lips cautioning us not to wake the sleeping children as Edward
and I stepped into her reception room. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I was momentarily
stunned to see four women in colorful cotton housedresses sitting on Mary’s
sofa. They were a ragtag assortment of sizes and ages from young to
middle-aged, with one thing in common: they appeared to be Pacific Islanders.
They reminded me of a collection of rescue pups, each wearing an expression of
combined terror and relief. The smallest lady, a wee bit of a thing, put her
arm across the front of the largest lady as one would protect a child from a
sudden stop in a car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I looked from the
ladies to Mary, seeking an explanation. My sister stood by the group and placed
her arm around the shoulder of one of the women. “These ladies have just escaped
their employers. They have been held captive as domestic workers, virtual prisoners
in the homes of some of the wealthiest Middle-Eastern oil sheiks in London.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Mary was emotional
to the point of shaking as if she had palsy. My mind scrambled, attempting to
fit the pieces together. My sister was providing sanctuary to a group of
runaway ladies in Darcy’s children’s home. How had they come to be here? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I forgot Edward
was in the room and nearly stepped on his big feet as I fell into a chair near
the sofa. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The smallest lady
spoke in broken English. “I am Lilibeth. These are my friends Riza, Divina, and
Flora.” Each of the women nodded barely making eye contact, fear evident on
their tired faces.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I am Elizabeth
Darcy, Mary’s sister.” I forced the look of surprise from my face and smiled
kindly. “Have you been held as domestic prisoners?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
They nodded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Have the police
been called?” I asked Mary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
All four ladies
shook their heads violently at the word police. “Each of us signed a paper,”
said Lilibeth. “We promised to work here; we would be well paid and could send
our money to our families. The promise was for one year and then we would
return to our homes. I have worked for Sheik Mustaf for five years and received
no money.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“It seems this is
a matter for the authorities,” I said, wondering why Mary had involved me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Lilibeth looked at
the other women before continuing. “At night I am locked in my room by the sheik’s
manservant and allowed no friends or family. And for the other ladies it is the
same. We would be beaten if they recaptured us.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Mary brushed the
tears from her cheeks. “The only way they could communicate was at church. They
first became acquainted at St. Barnabus but it wasn’t until Father Salvatore visited
from St. Michael’s and sensed their predicament that they felt hope.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I looked at Edward
who leaned against the doorway, clenching and unclenching his fists. I expected
Darcy would have the same reaction when he heard their awful story.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Lowering my voice,
I reached out to touch Lilibeth. She extended her hand to meet mine. “Who is
responsible for this horrid plan, this slavery?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Lilibeth hesitated
as if afraid to say the name. She withdrew her hand from mine and wrapped her
arms around her tiny body. Her voice came out barely a whisper. “Sophia
Serpenti. She comes to the villages and takes women away promising good jobs in
London. But now I know the women who follow The Serpent are never seen again. Our
families must think we are dead.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
A kettle whistled
and Mary went to prepare the tea. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Why did you not
go to the police?” I said, not understanding their hesitation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The others nodded,
encouraging Lilibeth to tell their story. “We were afraid. The bosses took our
passports and all our papers; they told us they would hold them until we were returned
to the Philippines. We knew that without our papers we have nothing. When we
asked to return home, our bosses told us the police would put us in jail as
illegals. They would not give us our passports.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The other women
nodded as they held their teacups in shaky hands. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“The Serpent told
us if we caused any trouble our families would be made to suffer. And so we remained
silent.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Lilibeth continued
their story. “The only time we could leave our bosses’ homes was for Sunday
Mass at St. Barnabus. But we were always taken by a van and watched by the
bosses’ people. They did not understand our language and so we talked of our
sorrow as we prayed.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
This was slavery
and under our very eyes. How had this been kept a secret from Londoners?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Riza leaned
forward, more angry than fearful. “Father Salvatore visited St. Barnabus one
Sunday. He looked at our sadness and he knew. Before Mass he invited me into
the confessional box. He promised to get us all home again. She made the sign
of the cross. We thank the good Father for guiding us this far.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Lilibeth picked up
the story. “Father Salvatore has helped many people to leave their wicked
bosses by smuggling them to another country. There they are given papers, and
returned by boat to their families. Tonight he waits to help us.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tears filled
Divina’s eyes. “I have not seen my daughters for two years.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
I
heard the giggle of a child coming from another room. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Lilibeth motioned
toward the sound. “That is Kidlat. He is Flora’s son. The boy is four years old
and tonight is the first time he has met his mother.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
I knew I looked puzzled
as Lilibeth gave me a tolerant smile. “Flora did not know she carried a baby in
her womb when she signed the paper with The Serpent. It was only once she had
been working for that evil family for three months that she found out.” She
patted the younger woman’s hand. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“The Serpent was
very angry when she learned of Kidlat’s coming. When he was born she made Flora
put him in a…how you say…home for orphans? Only last month Miss Mary found him
and brought him to her home. The child is why we stopped here before going on
to St. Michael’s. We are taking the boy with us.”<o:p></o:p></div>

on the planet. Join her as she travels the globe in search of lost treasures
and antiquities. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">She’s been

<span style="color: #262626; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Real estate agent for Miami Beach millionaires, Wendy
Darlin, clashes with “SEC Investigator” and world famous archaeologist, Roger
Jolley. He follows her out to sea on a mega-yacht owned by Charlie Hook, a
Ponzi swindler on the run from federal agents and angry investors. Despite her
fear of water, she finds herself a tomb raider on the Caribbean one step ahead
of modern day pirates. Will she find the Lost Boys? Will she escape Hook’s
clutches? And whom will she find on Nevis Island? Oh… and is Roger a good
kisser? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

time and a murderer as she searches for the last Lost Boy hidden somewhere in
London while a killer heat wave invades the city. Wendy is held captive over a
fish ‘n’ chips shop while Roger’s life is threatened. Can Wendy escape her
captors, rescue Roger, and find the missing Lost Boy before the murderer
strikes again?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cleopatra’s tomb. All they have to do is get from Cairo to the Temple of
Taporisi Magna alive. Armed only with a couple of hijacked ashtrays and faced
with a trek across the blazing Sahara desert can Wendy out-maneuver Russian
oligarchs, a dozen Dark Force mercenaries, and Roger’s chubby ex-girlfriend in
time to find the tomb and seal it before chaos erupts in Egypt?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

life tips your tiara it can hurt like the worst toothache. All princesses
endure this at one time or another. Sometimes the only relief from the pain of
a tipped tiara is to re-write a fairy tale and mock all the bullies who tried
to knock your crown off your head. I found riffing fairy tales to be quite therapeutic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Miami real estate broker,
Alice Harte, follows the WRONG white rabbit and tumbles into a world populated
by mobsters and their nonsense lawyers. The original Alice nibbled on mushrooms
and EAT ME cookies to grow in size and strength. Alice Harte relies on Xanax
when she stumbles across a beheaded mob boss. Will she keep her own head? And
what about love? After all, this is <i>romantic</i>
suspense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Caught
up in a relationship with a British man I met on the Internet in a holiday
house exchange, I was jabberwockied to discover he was a professional conman.
Like the original Alice, I tired to make sense out of his nonsense. But he
confused my logical mind with his caterpillar smoke and mirrors. I had become <i>Alice in Wonderland</i>, and the only way
out was through the portal I created by writing<i> </i>my own version of <i>Alice.</i>
I became a twister of fairy tales. It’s great fun to use snarky wit to secure
the tiaras of not only Alice, but Wendy Darlin, and Zo White.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Both Alices are curious
creatures but whereas the original Alice wanted only to escape the world of
grownups with her tiara intact; contemporary Alice wants to live in England
with a loving partner, and stroll the sheep-lined country lanes. She’d also like to escape her mobster
employer. Unfortunately, Alice Harte is tossed down a dark rabbit hole with murder,
mystery, thugs, fish-flingers, and a touch of romance. The usual suspects: the
March Hare, Red Queen, and the Tweedles appear in the book, but with a
Chandler-esque twist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">I found myself in a
courtroom not unlike Alice’s encounter with the King, Queen, dormouse, lizard,
and playing cards. It was easy to convert a pack of lawyers into a deck of
playing cards. I fastened my tiara, rolled up my sleeves, and jumped in. I
hoped that at the end of my godawful experience I would have one heck of a
fairy tale to share.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"> In <i>Wonderland,</i>
Alice is called as a witness. She accidentally knocks over the jury box with
the animals inside. The King orders her to place the animals back into their
seats before the trial continues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">In my real life courtroom, a
portly, pompous lawyer berated me, then without turning, he backed into this
seat. He missed the chair and tumbled to the floor knocking over a few stray
barristers. When he fell on his bum with an earth- shattering thud, I knew my
fairy tale was calling to me. This would make a perfect book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">As I grew in size to the
point where the beheading judge was fast falling to pieces, I recalled the part
in <i>Wonderland </i>where the Queen orders
Alice to be gone, citing Rule 42 "All persons more than a mile high to
leave the court.” Alice argues against their silly rule and refuses to leave.
The Queen shouts her familiar "Off with her head!" but Alice is
unafraid, calling them “just a pack of cards.” The cards and characters swarm
over her as she beats them off. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">This

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">If your tiara is painfully tipping or your chip has
fallen from your shoulder, take one fairy tale and call me in the morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
Based on the enduring characters created by Jane Austen,
this is a contemporary spin on a classic tale of love denied, and love
discovered.</h3>
<h3>
<br /> <o:p> </o:p>Christmas just became a lot more complicated for dog
psychologist Lizzie Bennet and her sisters. While shopping in London they find
little urchin Annie and her dog Sammy. As a fierce snowstorm takes over the
city, the aloof but alluring Mister Darcy invites the girls, including Annie
and Sammy, to spend the night at his penthouse.<br /> <o:p> </o:p></h3>
<h3>
<o:p><br /></o:p>With the best of intentions Darcy asks Annie and her seven
siblings to join the Bennet sisters for a quiet Christmas Eve celebration in
his London fortress. The skullduggery begins when Caroline Bingley – the
villainess Austen fans love to boo – shows up acting the part of the Grinch and
Scrooge combined.</h3>
<h3>
<br /> <o:p> </o:p>Barbara Silkstone is the best selling author of ten novels
and four box sets. Her comedy mysteries feature goodhearted heroines caught up in
screwball situations.</h3>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Doctor Lizzie Bennet, struggling against her
conservative English countryside upbringing, determines to prove her worth as a
dog psychologist. Nothing will deter her from her career until she meets the
uppity and oh-so mysterious Londoner, Mister Darcy. His on-again, off-again
flirtatious manner, and his pompous putdowns challenge Lizzie’s short temper.
When Mister Darcy hires her to train his lovable basset hounds for an important
foxhunt, Lizzie accepts the task despite knowing next to nothing about the
sport and harboring an intense fear of horses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

so now, Barbara's style is so refreshing and fun, I love looking for subtle

The sweet heroine and a handsome rich leading man, what more could you want???

However, her life quickly turns into a three-ring circus: her hypochondriac</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">father moves in, her ex is using her shower when she’s not home, and her perky assistant is pushing her out into the fearsome dating world. She also has to decide if the dilapidated barn and vintage merry-go-round she was awarded in the divorce settlement is a blessing or a bane. As if Lauren’s personal life isn't chaotic enough, this slightly jaded attorney is overrun with a cast of quirky characters who can’t stay on the right side of the law. What’s a woman to do? She can allow life to spin her in circles forever. Or she can reach out and grab the brass ring.</span><br />

I've never done this before, and I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. I’m writing a Christmas Novella entitled Almost Perfect Christmas, the story of man who enlists the help of a woman in giving his daughter a perfect Christmas. Unbeknownst to him, his little girl has every intention of playing an angelic matchmaker. The other project is the first book of a 3-book series called Following His Heart, the story of a man who is eerily drawn to a woman, and after they fall in love, they discover what brought them together, and it just might tear them apart. Yes, the description is vague, but that’s just the way it has to be for now. I’m chuckling as I type this. Both books are contemporary romance novels and are due out this fall.</span></div>

Think back to when you were a kid and you took a bite of that delectable confection. What did you do? You smiled. That’s what I’m going for in my romance novels.</span></div>

I write about women who are strong, yet vulnerable. My main characters and my secondary characters have flaws and make mistakes (don’t we all?), but then most of them do all they can to learn, grow and become better people.</span></div>

Don’t just read in the genre in which you write. Read everything. And then figure out what you liked and what you didn't…and then think about why. Reading and analyzing the writing of talented people can help you perfect your own skills.</span></div>

I am so appreciative that they spend their hard-earned money on my books and then take the time to read my stories. I am so blessed to have a job I love, and I wouldn't have this job if there weren't readers who love romance novels.</span></div>

I spent many a Saturday as a kid in the local library. I loved books, but I never imagined I would ever write one. My husband gets the credit for my becoming a writer. When my children started school and I decided to find a part-time job, he looked around at the piles of romance novels in our home and said, “You've read a lot of those. Why don’t you try writing one?” So, you see. It’s all his fault.</span></div>

I handed in the completed manuscript, and my editor suggested a different ending. I wasn't happy, but I did as she asked. Personally, I think the book suffered for it, but readers seem to enjoy it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I do, yes. I equate an outline with a road made; how do you know where you’re going if you don’t have a map? I might write the first chapter or two on the fly, but I always take the time to plan out where I want the story to go. Now that’s not to say that the characters are going to stay on the straight and narrow. They decide to veer off the highway every now and then, and that’s when I have to do a quick reroute.</span></div>

I have started projects that haven’t seen the light of day, either because I couldn't figure out where to take the story, or I couldn't make the protagonist sympathetic or likable. It’s a rare occurrence, and when it happens, I just set the story aside and hope I can someday come up with a solution.</span></div>

<b>WENDY DARLIN TOMB RAIDER ~ Box Set</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until last year Wendy Darlin was a full-time real estate agent for Miami Beach millionaires. Then she met Roger Jolley, world famous archaeologist, Johnny Depp look-alike, and at times the most irritating person on the planet. Join her as she travels the globe in search of lost treasures and antiquities. She’s been told her life is like the movie Romancing the Stone but at times she feels more like Indiana Jones with boobs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WENDY AND THE LOST BOYS ~ Book One</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Real estate agent for Miami Beach millionaires, Wendy Darlin, clashes with “SEC Investigator” and world famous archaeologist, Roger Jolley. He follows her out to sea on a mega-yacht owned by Charlie Hook, a Ponzi swindler on the run from federal agents and angry investors. Despite her fear of water, she finds herself a tomb raider on the Caribbean one step ahead of modern day pirates. Will she find the Lost Boys? Will she escape Hook’s clutches? And whom will she find on Nevis Island? Oh… and is Roger a good kisser? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>LONDON BROIL ~ Book Two</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we last saw Wendy Darling and Roger Jolley in WENDY AND THE LOST BOYS, they were hot on the trail of Egyptian icons stolen from the British Museum. Wendy is now in a frantic race against time and a murderer as she searches for the last Lost Boy hidden somewhere in London while a killer heat wave invades the city. Wendy is held captive over a fish ‘n’ chips shop while Roger’s life is threatened. Can Wendy escape her captors, rescue Roger, and find the missing Lost Boy before the murderer strikes again?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>CAIRO CAPER ~ Book Three</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Part-time tomb raider and full-time real estate broker, Wendy Darlin joins her lover, archaeologist Roger Jolley, in a quest for Cleopatra’s tomb. All they have to do is get from Cairo to the Temple of Taporisi Magna alive. Armed only with a couple of hijacked ashtrays and faced with a trek across the blazing Sahara desert can Wendy out-maneuver Russian oligarchs, a dozen Dark Force mercenaries, and Roger’s chubby ex-girlfriend in time to find the tomb and seal it before chaos erupts in Egypt?</div>

<b>What are you working on now?</b><br />
<br />
With the greatest respect for Jane Austen, I have taken Pride and Prejudice out for a spin. As I progress through the writing of Mister Darcy’s Dogs, I will be posting the newest chapters of on <a href="http://secondactcafe.com/book-bits/" target="_blank">Second Act Café</a>. I’d like to invite readers to comment as the novella progresses.<br />
<br />
Although inspired by Pride and Prejudice, my story takes place in modern times. It’s a teeny bit like Bridget Jones Diary but my heroine tends to be feistier and the wealthy, handsome Darcy has a secret identity. If my fans enjoy this riff on a classic I may continue to pay homage to Jane Austen and create a series.<br />
<br />
<b>What are you reading now?</b><br />
<br />
I recently read the book that inspired my journey into Austen-ville. <a href="http://amzn.to/1tHCPIk" target="_blank">The Trouble with Horses</a> by Elizabeth Ann West. This is a delightful Pride and Prejudice variation novella. Elizabeth was kind enough to encourage me to take my sense of humor in a new direction. I am quite excited to see what transpires between William Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett as they encounter both pride and prejudice in the twenty-first century. <br />
<br />
<b>What flavor is your writing style?</b><br />
<br />
I love legal thrillers, clever comedies, and noir mysteries. Over the years I was able to take workshops with Stephen King, Robert B. Parker, and other greats. I began to hone my one-liners aiming to become a female Elmore Leonard. I’m still not there, but I keep working on my adverb-lite diet. How will my style compliment Jane Austen? Stay tuned!<br />
<br />
<b>What books have most influenced your life most?</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/1pfHC2k" target="_blank">More Than Human</a> by Theodore Sturgeon had a profound effect on me. There is something in both the tale and the telling that will forever haunt me. I have a signed copy of the book and will treasure it always.<br />
<br />
Ghosts by Marsha Parker. The book is not about ghosts by rather about love. There is a scene in the book where the current day narrator meets her love and soulmate from the 12th century. Toward the end of the story as she questions his ethereal presence and her longing for him, he appears one night. He leads her to a Welsh meadow where under the moonlight, they lay on a sheepskin and...well, the result is the most beautiful love scene I have ever read. <br />
<br />
<b>Was writing always the first thing you wanted to do in life?</b><br />
<br />
I spent the first four years of my life in our hall closet trying to turn into a black panther when that didn’t work I decided to become a professional majorette. Again I was met with disappointment. In kindergarten I learned to press lightly with my crayons, I then realized I was destined to become a writer.<br />
<br />
I’ve always had a passion to write humor and horror – closely related genres. In eighth grade I started an underground newspaper patterned after <i>Mad Magazine</i>. Unfortunately our nun did not appreciate my demented humor. Threatened with excommunication I took my paper underground until I graduated Catholic school.<br />
<br />
<b>What inspired you to write your first book?
</b><br />
<br />
My first published book was <a href="http://amzn.to/1kemhYz" target="_blank">The Adventures of a Love Investigator</a>.<br />
<br />
I was coming off a short marriage and a protracted divorce. I lost everything I owned prior to the marriage. I needed answers to why I continuously accepted the wrong men into my heart when my guy friends where such nice men. Why couldn't I tell the difference?<br />
<br />
I set out to learn about men armed only with a tape recorder and a quirky sense of humor. I wanted to learn how men really felt about love, sex, and commitment. My goal had been to conduct 1000 intimate interviews with men in their own man caves. I wrongly estimated it would take one year. Six years and 527 men later, I had become <i>The Woman Who Knew Too Much</i>.<br />
<br />
During my odyssey, I met men who have sex with married women, and men whose wives have sex with other men. I listened to men who have no idea how to approach a woman, and men who have it down to a science. I discovered many men who went to unbelievable lengths in search of love. <br />
<br />
I learned many things, one of which is that I make a much better Singleton. <br />
<br />

Please join me as I pay homage to Jane Austen in Mister Darcy’s Dogs. The first excerpts will appear on the <a href="http://secondactcafe.com/book-bits/" target="_blank">Second Act Café</a> in August. I’d love to hear your thoughts as I progress through this first novella in a new genre.

<span style="color: #262626; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Real estate agent for Miami Beach millionaires, Wendy
Darlin, clashes with “SEC Investigator” and world famous archaeologist, Roger
Jolley. He follows her out to sea on a mega-yacht owned by Charlie Hook, a
Ponzi swindler on the run from federal agents and angry investors. Despite her
fear of water, she finds herself a tomb raider on the Caribbean one step ahead
of modern day pirates. Will she find the Lost Boys? Will she escape Hook’s
clutches? And whom will she find on Nevis Island? Oh… and is Roger a good
kisser? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">When
we last saw Wendy Darling and Roger Jolley in WENDY AND THE LOST BOYS, they
were hot on the trail of Egyptian icons stolen from the British Museum. Wendy
is now in a frantic race against time and a murderer as she searches for the
last Lost Boy hidden somewhere in London while a killer heat wave invades the
city. Wendy is held captive over a fish ‘n’ chips shop while Roger’s life is
threatened. Can Wendy escape her captors, rescue Roger, and find the missing
Lost Boy before the murderer strikes again?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cleopatra’s tomb. All they have to do is get from Cairo to the Temple of
Taporisi Magna alive. Armed only with a couple of hijacked ashtrays and faced
with a trek across the blazing Sahara desert can Wendy out-maneuver Russian
oligarchs, a dozen Dark Force mercenaries, and Roger’s chubby ex-girlfriend in
time to find the tomb and seal it before chaos erupts in Egypt?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
