Hi, Friend!
I am very busy working on Book 2. I have been researching hidden doorways that lead to secret passageways. Here is a photo shared with me of a bookcase with a hidden door. Really cool. In the book it will lead to a secret passageway that will ultimately lead to a dense wooded area. I can’t wait to write it.
This one is from the Austrian National Library, Wien, Austria. You can check it out here.

Two federal investigators, a dead graduate student, and a controversial hallucinogen.
Dr. Kep Woodhead is a brilliant, irascible forensic toxicologist with a dark past.

They’re both assigned to a strange poisoning case: a graduate student has been found dead in a 15th-century chapel, overdosed on a controversial hallucinogen.
