    About this ebook

    When young Evangeline runs away from her marriage to a carpenter to avenge her estranged father's death, she gets more than she bargained for in the shape of a murder mystery, a big handsome brother and a green-jeweled sword. When she finally unravels the truth, it will turn out to be stranger, funnier and more wonderful than she ever expected.

    The "Sword Trick" is a twist on the old Grimm fairy tale "The Three Brother's" except it about a female protagonist, her sword and her adventure. It is a funny, fantasy, comedy romance at its best.

    Candice Raquel Lee

    I was born in Brooklyn in one of the worst neighborhoods man has ever created. All other details are kind of fuzzy, thank God, except that at times I was happy there. I am mixed raced and mixed cultured. The primary culprits in my creation are Native American, Jewish, European and African-American. I think that is why I write mixed-up stories. I like to mix reality with fantasy, the sacred and the profane, the illuminating with the infuriating. I am also one of the last Romantics living. That is why I write stories about love (not lust.) I write about love of one soul for another. I write poetically and deeply. I write about longing and people who are pure of heart. I am primarily from a different time (somewhere around the Late Romantic period. They would have loved my stuff!) When I am not writing, I read classics and am trying to build a time machine, so I can go back home. P.S. I also have a sense of humor. P.S.S. I am also very appreciative. Thanks to all of you who enjoyed my books and took the time to rate or review or like me on Facebook. If you didn't, now's a great opportunity to do so.
