About this ebook

"Everything had gone just as I'd planned. Unbeknownst to my family, I caught the train from West Texas to California and found a room at Mrs. Brown's Boarding House for Traveling Ladies. Now, at long last, I have accepted a position as a Lady's Companion for a well-bred elderly lady in a lavishly elegant home the likes of which I've never seen. What more could a forward-thinking young woman in 1902 want? It certainly wasn't attending séances and using spirit boards. Or sharing that lovely house with a ghost, of which I staunchly do not believe. But I am a forward-thinking young woman and my plans always go just as I expect. Surely, none of this will prove any difficulty. No difficulty at all . . ."

~ Miss Isabelle Pierson, Seadale House, San Francisco.

The Spellbound House, set in 1902 San Francisco, is the seventh book in the saga of the Donaghue family. Each book follows the next generation of the family against the backdrop of the developing United States and features historical detail, strong individuals and their craftiness, and a crochet pattern by designer Laurinda Reddig.

Author

C. Jane Reid

C. Jane lives in the Pacific Northwest where she loves the rain because it makes being a writer even easier with few bright, sunny days to draw her out of the house. She credits her upbringing in Indiana and her early adulthood in the West Texas Panhandle for her fascination with family history. Much like her characters, her own extended family live within a few towns (or at times only a cornfield) from each other. She spends much of her free time avoiding laundry and dishes by searching the web for interesting facts on things like how to make pawpaw jelly and the steps to loading a flintlock rifle. She loves old maps, old books, and old handcrafts. She also keeps a genealogy of all her characters but sadly hasn’t had time to work on the one for her own family. Life is funny like that. If you would like to learn more about her books and research, you can find more information on her website: www.cjanereid.com
