About this ebook
Many noble daughters of Venice are consigned to abbeys for want of a dowry. In 1426, Filipa Barbagio is sent to San Nicolai di Torcello, where she enjoys the hedonistic lifestyle available to her: dressed in the latest fashions, wearing expensive jewellery, attending masquerade balls, entertaining her family and taking men to be her companions. And then she falls in love.
Dardi Zorzi loves Clario Duodo, but society expects an arranged marriage with sweet Caterina. Their marriage is difficult at first but gets better over time, especially after the birth of their daughter Lucia. Tragically Caterina is murdered and Dardi is the prime suspect. Filipa comforts and helps her oldest and dearest friend, but then Dardi is accused of the most heinous crime of all. In the aftermath of this terrible denunciation, Filipa risks losing her newly-found love while Dardi risks losing all.

Writing a novel didn't cross my mind until relatively recently, when I went to the local library and couldn't find a book that interested me. That led me consider a new pastime. Write a book. That book may never be published, but I felt my follow-up cross-cultural crime with romance hybrid set in Russia had more potential. So much so that I wrote a sequel that took those characters on a journey to a very dark place.Once those books were published and garnered good reviews I wrote in a very different place and time, and my two novels set in Victorian Britain and published in July and August of 2014. I followed those up with various novels set in various places at various times, with the most recent being a story set in the Syrian Civil War.
