Here comes Brushes!

The second book in the Stitches trilogy is undergoing its final edits. I hope to have it published and ready for purchase by the end of the summer. Here's the cover image and the back cover copy to give you all a quick peek.

The magic started in Stitches and blossoms in Brushes, the second chapter of the Collinses’ enlightened journey toward retirement.

The power of art makes big waves for Jean and Spence Collins. With the magic of the ancient fabric still inside of them, the Collinses make their first visit to their newly inherited B&B in Richmond, Virginia. While there, Jean becomes obsessed with the history of a small painting called The Dancing Boy. She says the painting speaks to her – and it really does! But that's not all they discover in Richmond; the immortal members of the Gaines household come out of their eternal retirement to welcome Jean and Spence into the family. Immortality really can be a choice, and the possibility of it ignites a passion in the Collinses to realize their dreams in this life.

Jean and Spence have no idea the firestorm they’re about to unleash after they bring The Dancing Boy home to Portland, Oregon. When they take the painting to the museum to be cleaned by a gifted art student, the worlds of fine art, magic, and financial fraud converge to draw the Collinses into the deadly game of a Ponzi scheme. Not only is their magical painting at risk but the inheritance that is supposed to fund their dreams is as well. Together with their friend at the FBI, agent Jon Segert, Jean and Spence realize the best way to combat greed is by being generous – but they need a little immortal help to pull off their plan.
