One last #FediBookFair post. This is the omnibus edition of my "Seen Through the Phantom's Eyes" series. Follow three generations of the LeMaître family, from Paris, to London, and then to San Francisco. Paperback version includes historical photographs. Cover design by James Courtney.
I have gotten a lot better at letting the negative reviews roll off my back than I used to be. I even have a favorite negative review, which laments that my debut novel contained "too many horse words." The main character is an equestrienne. 😄
