As an armchair historian I've always been enthralled by late 19th century history. Over the years I've enjoyed Sherlock Holmes, though felt annoyed that other than Mrs. Hudson, the landlady, Conan Doyle included no female character who appeared regularly. Other authors have tackled this issue in a variety of ways, but I embraced the concept of making Jack the Ripper's daughter the primary protagonist while having the sister of Sherlock Holmes team up with her in a significant way.
As for my history as a writer, my short fiction has appeared in such national literary journals as Del Sol Review and The Potomac Review, and I am a former writer for National Lampoon Magazine. My past novels include WELCOME HOME MAJOR BEARCLAW, THE DEADEST GUN IN THE WEST (Amazon Contest Finalist), and MARY AND THE GODDESS OF EPHESUS.
Madeleine Barquist, police veterinarian and daughter of Jack the Ripper, is dragged by her detectivist partner Astraia Holmes into solving the death of popular suffragist leader Lady Deborah Peacham, killed by a hatpin plunged into her heart during an assault on Parliament. While investigating Lady Deborah's mysterious death, the detectivists become aware of a more vicious murderer lurking in the shadows of society, their series of crimes hidden and unnoticed.
Almost immediately, the world-famous leaders of London's temperance and suffrage communities realize they have secrets to hide and reputations to protect. They grow nervous, threatened by the direction of Maddie's and Astraia's investigation, and soon learn that a hatpin is not the only weapon available to desperate and lethal Victorians.
