For all of you who are curious about Martha’s future, I promise that she’s alive and well and prospering in Philadelphia. DECEPTION’S DAUGHTER, which will be her second brush with the city’s criminal element debuts August, 2008; and I’m hard at work on the third novel in the series: the working title is WITHOUT FEAR. I’ve learned some surprisingly disconcerting facts about our metropolis’s history while doing my research.
Since everyone is list mad, here’s a quick peek at 4 of the more haunting offerings in my hometown. If you visit the city, be sure and put them on your itinerary. If you’re an armchair traveler, fly off to their websites:
The Mutter Museum
19 S. 22nd St.
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 563-3737
http://www.collphyphil.org/mutter.asp
The museum contains anatomical specimens used by physicians during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It’s both fascinating and disturbing – and full of ghosts.
Eastern State Penitentiary
22nd St. and Fairmount
(215) 236-3300
http://www.easternstate.org
You’ll recognize scenes from THE CONJURER if you visit.
Glen Foerd on The Delaware
5001 Grant Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19114
(215)632-5330
www.glenfoerd.org
An historic estate in a magical setting on the river. It’s easy to imagine Martha here.
And finally: Landmark Walking Tours
(Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks)
www.philalandmarks.org
The tours are themed and informative, and show you sides of Philadelphia you never knew existed. Yes, these cobbled streets tell tales.
