Hello !

First, if you responded to that last email. I want to apologize. I sent it earlier than I had meant to, I had intented to write it and be ready to send it out once I had the file ready. There's still some cleaning up I need to do on my draft before it's ready, even for the beta reader level.

Next, to the topic of this email:

As a mystery writer, I search for some pretty out there stuff. 

Here's just a few of my recent ones. Hard to trace poisons. How easy is it to get **spoiler** poison? How often do people die while parachuting? How can you make cutting the cables on a bicycle look like an accident?

Can you get poisoned by jimson weed's thorns or do you have to eat it? I still can't find any evidence on the thorns, but look out if you get the sap in your eyes!

How long does it take for poison oak to start itching? FYI, it can take up to two weeks if you've never had it before. 

What are the worst real-life motives for murder? How does scrying work? That place in my town, what's it called and how can I make it punnier? Best puns. Worst puns. Radio etiquette for park rangers. 

What's the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? How long does it take to die of hypothermia? How cold is it high above the earth? How high can you go in the air without needing an oxygen tank? When will it rain in California? 

Okay, so maybe other than the poison ones, these are pretty tame. What would someone think of your search history? Any weird things in your recent search history that might worry someone? 

Have a magic day!

In Dust and Destiny by Grace Geyer find a murder, a mystery, and magic reborn

In the quaint coastal town of Verbena Bay, where subtle magic hums beneath cobblestone streets, sixty-three-year-old witch healer Destiny Earley finds her peaceful life upended. Her fall begins not with gentle fall breezes, but with the unsettling awakening of her grandmother's sentient broom, an ancient magical tool stirring after decades of dormancy, hinting at a forgotten threat.

When the mayor is found brutally murdered in the town park, the crime scene radiates a chilling, corrosive hatred that is clearly not of this world. Destiny, along with her best friend Esme, a kitchen witch, and Sheriff Max Jessep, an old friend aware of their gifts, realize this is no ordinary investigation.

Can Destiny find the killer and protect Verbena Bay?
