Dear Friends,
I’m delighted to report that my newest Martha Beale novel, WITHOUT FEAR, is now available! Visit my website www.CordeliaFrancesBiddle.com to read the first chapter of this latest installment in her life, or rush to Amazon or your local bookseller and purchase your own copy. I promise a gripping read: a sinister discovery at the Philadelphia estate of Joseph Bonaparte - brother to Napoleon - and Martha and her friend Becky Grey Taitt as unwitting participants in a crime. As you know, the city was a sophisticated and cosmopolitan place in the 1840’s. The Bonaparte “chateau” on the banks of the Delaware River was only one example of the cultural interchange between Philadelphia and France. Although splendor can conceal dark shadows.
If you’re a library patron, please ask your librarian to order a copy. If you have a book to share, donate it if you can. These are tough times for our public libraries.
I look forward to hearing from you as you continue your acquaintance with Martha. And, yes, she and I are embarking on another adventure…
With my warmest wishes,
Cordelia
