I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll come up with better blurbs over the next few months, but for now:<\/p>\n<p><center>***<\/center>Cassie Scot is the ungifted daughter of powerful sorcerers, living between worlds but not belonging to either. At 21, she is trying to find a place for herself, but earning a living as a private investigator in the shadow of her family&#8217;s reputation isn&#8217;t easy. When she is pulled into a paranormal investigation, and tempted by a handsome and powerful sorcerer, she will have to decide where she truly belongs.<\/p>\n<p><center>***<\/center>I think of the Cassie Scot series as a romance and coming of age story. Each book in the series will be framed by a mystery that is solved by the end of the book, however; Cassie&#8217;s story will continue. For this reason, the series does need to be read in order, even though there is a clear beginning, middle, and end to each one. The books would, quite simply, not make sense if read out of order.<\/p>\n<p>I could go on and on about this, but I won&#8217;t (today!). I do hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I&#8217;ve enjoyed writing it. And now&#8230;back to work on book two, which is already in final revisions.
