Mistress of Lies

MOL_cover_final

London, 1679

Isabel, Lady Wilde, mistress of King Charles II, has made a good living disguised as fortune teller Mistress Ruby, counseling London’s elite. But after the murder of one of her customers, business has taken a downturn, and Isabel is on the verge of accepting the king’s offer to move into the palace.

Isabel’s plans are interrupted when a beggar girl named Susanna shows up at her home, claiming to be her niece. Isabel always believed that her older brother, Adam, died alone during the plague. When Susanna reveals that Adam was actually murdered, Isabel is compelled to take up an impossible task: discover the truth about her brother’s death, twelve years after it happened.

Isabel’s investigation leads her through the gamut of London society, from bear-baiting matches and brothels to the realm of wealthy bankers. But as she uncovers her brother’s dark secrets, Isabel begins to wonder whether the past is better left buried, especially when uncovering the truth could lead to her own funeral.

It’s a pleasure to welcome Kathleen to the blog today to chat about her book, A Brand New Address, her first novel in the Intervenus series.

Kathleen Rowland

At sixty-eight the clock is ticking, and Kathleen Mary Elizabeth Pugh Rowland lives in the present. She cherishes any kind of time with her husband whether it’s moonlight sailing or walking the dogs. Did she mention Gerry is witty, intelligent, warm, and understanding? As the song goes, she’s lucky to be in love with her best friend. Of course as empty-nesters, they welcome the rowdy “fabulous five” and their terrific people any time.

As long as she can remember, storytelling has been a release. Writing fiction has given her a chance to escape into worlds she’s created. Kathleen writes romantic suspense under her own name Kathleen Rowland. So that readers don’t become confused, she decided to write a new adult series under the pen name, Rudyard Rowland.  Rud is a younger version and doesn’t like her name either. That’s right. With the last name Pugh, her nicknames were Pughie, Pughtrid, and Pugh-bird. “Hello Stinky!” In the U.K. someone made a list of the most embarrassing last names, and at the top was Shatwell.  Some things end up being fortunate.  She never makes fun of anyone, and some situations (like introductions) make us brave.  That’s Kathleen, she’s brave. She’s done many courageous things. She’s moved to new places, brought up five children, started new careers, and created wish lists.  If you’d like to use her method, break a wish down to achievable targets with a deadline. Dreams do come true.

In the Spotlight – Irina Shapiro

It’s a treat to welcome Irina to the blog today.  Her Hands of Time series is highly rated and I’ve added it to my To-Be-Read list. If you love time travel, this is to one not miss.

maersiteaboutheauthor

Irina Shapiro was born in Moscow, Russia, where she lived until she was eleven.  In 1982 her family emigrated to the United States and settled in New York.  Due to her love of reading, Irina was able to pick up English very quickly, and was an honor student throughout her school career.

After graduating from Bernard M. Baruch College in 1992 with a Bachelor’s degree in International Business, Irina worked in advertising for two years before shifting her focus to Import/Export.  She worked her way up to the position of Import Manager in a large textile house before leaving the work force in 2007 to focus on her autistic son.

It wasn’t until Irina had been at home for some time that she began to write.  Eventually the characters began to take on a life of their own and have conversations in her head, and once she started writing her musings down the stories came easily enough.  Irina incorporated her love of history and travel into her writing to create a rich and detailed background for the characters.  Since then Irina has written eight novels.  She is currently working on book five of The Hands of Time Series.

Irina Shapiro lives in New Jersey with her husband and two children.
