  Amanda Clarke thinks of herself as perfectly ordinary in every way. Just a small-town girl who serves breakfast all day in a little diner nestled next to the highway, nothing but dairy farms for miles around. She fits in there. 
  But then an old woman she never met dies, and Amanda was named in her will. Now Amanda packs a bag and heads to the big city, to Miss Zenobia Weekes’ Charm School for Exceptional Young Ladies. And it’s not in just any neighborhood. No, she finds herself on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, a street lined with gorgeous old houses, the former homes of lumber barons, railroad millionaires, even the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Why, Amanda can practically hear the jazz music still playing across the decades. 
  Scratch that. The music really, literally, still plays in the backyard of the charm school. Because the house stretches across time itself. Without a witch to protect this tear in the fabric of the world, anything can spill over. Like music. 
  Or like murder. 
  “Charm School”, Book 1 in the Witches Three Cozy Mystery series. This mélange of magic and murder mystery is sure to charm you.

  The Novel of the White Powder -...

  Arthur Machen

  Arthur Llewelyn Jones was born in Caerleon, Monmouthshire on the 3rd March 1863. 
  Machen came from a long line of clergymen, and when he was two, his father became vicar of a small parish about five miles north of Caerleon, and Machen was brought up at the rectory there. 
  In his early years he received an excellent classical education, but family poverty ruled out university, and he was sent to London to sit exams to attend medical school but failed the exams.  He did show literary promise with the publication of the poem ‘Eleusinia’ in 1821.  But life in London was difficult and it was only in 1884 that he published again and was taken on to translate several French works which thereafter became the standard editions for many years. 
   
  In 1887, his father died.  That same year he married Amelia Hogg, a maverick music teacher with a passion for the theatre.  He also began to receive legacies from Scottish relatives which allowed him to devote more time to writing. 
   
  After publishing in literary magazines in 1894 he published his first book ‘The Great God Pan’.  Its sexual and horrific content very much helped sales. 
   
  Over the next decade or so he wrote some of his best work but was unable to find a publisher mainly due to the collapse of the decadent market over Oscar Wilde’s scandalous trial. 
   
  In 1899, his wife died and during his long recovery he took up acting and travelled around the country as part of a travelling company.  Three years later he was publishing again and had remarried. 
   
  Re-publishing of earlier works helped anchor both his reputation and his income.  By the time the Great War opened Europe’s wounds he returned to the public eye with ‘The Bowmen’ helped by the publicity around the ‘Angel of Mons’ episode. 
   
  However, by the late 20’s new works had dried up and his back catalogue was no longer a source of regular income. 
   
  In 1932 he received a Civil List pension of ₤100 per annum but other work was not forthcoming.  His finances finally stabilised with a literary appeal in 1943 for his eightieth birthday and allowed him to live his remaining years in relative comfort. 
   
  Arthur Machen died on 15th December 1947 in Beaconsfield. He was 84. 
   
  A man is prescribed a medicine that turns him from a hard studying student of the law to something so compellingly awful that only Machen himself could have willed it into reality.<

  “Bristling with intelligent suspense . . . this superb piece of period fiction will appeal to both Civil War buffs and fans of historical mysteries.” —Booklist   Union Major Abel Jones, Welsh immigrant and veteran of Britain’s distant wars, survives Shiloh’s slaughter only to face the riddle of a different kind of massacre. Not far from the cries and smoke of combat, murdered slaves hang at a crossroads. Their blood may be on Northern as well as Southern hands, with devastating political repercussions. In a country shocked by casualty lists and unready for emancipation, only one man insists on justice—a plain-speaking officer with a Welsh lilt, a limp, and his own troubled conscience. The chain of death soon proves as brutal and consuming as the war itself, dragging Major Jones into a dark world of midnight savagery, terrible secrets, and sudden combat, as desperate men and women struggle to survive the fury of a divided nation. Suspenseful, swift-paced, surprisingly humorous, and populated with unforgettable characters, Call Each River Jordan offers a fresh and haunting vision of a past still with us today.  “An exceptionally fine historical novel. Owen Parry deserves to be ranked with the best Civil War novelists.” —The Flint Journal  “Parry’s knowledge of the era is nicely on display here: his scenes of Corinth, Mississippi, and its sheltered wounded are vibrant, with a haunting eye for detail . . . well informed and evocatively written.” —Kirkus Reviews  “A gripping story . . . astounding battle scenes . . . this novel stands out.” —Publishers Weekly
