<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Check out our newest release, THE VIKING CROWN, a clean historical mystery. This book takes place in Central America, where Marta Swan encounters a man who claims to be a descendant of the Vikings. Is he mad, or is his story true?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The story was inspired by research we did about whether the Vikings might have landed in Central America. Throughout the land, there are Mayan carvings that look like a bearded man on a ship. Did the Mayans actually make contact with a Viking ship?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Carriage broken down in an isolated area of Central America, abandoned by her guide and surrounded by bandits, Marta Swan appeals to handsome Ramon Santiago for rescue. A swift ride on horseback takes them to a remote castle nestled in the mountains, where Marta is welcomed by Ramon's employer, an enigmatic, red-bearded man known throughout the region as the Viking. Marta is shocked and terrified to discover the Viking is a madman who believes her to be the reincarnation of a lost princess. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Viking possesses great treasure, a golden crown and an ancient medallion, which men are seeking and will kill to own. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Everything depends upon Marta's finding her archaeologist co-worker, Alan Avery, who has because of their work ventured into Honduras and has vanished into the jungle. But Ramon, who Marta now realizes is acting as her personal bodyguard, will not allow her to escape. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From April 25 to the 29th read PATH OF THE JAGUAR free on Kindle!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi to all of our fans of clean read mysteries! This book was inspired by a trip we took to the Yucatan and the fantastic Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza. The book contains mystery and sweet romance, and is suitable for adults and young adults. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Follow Lennea's adventure as she travels to Merida to work on the ruins in Chichen Itza with her esteemed professor, Wesley Hern. But when Lennea's traveling companion, Delores, mysteriously vanishes in the bustling Mexico City airport, Lenna must trust a handsome stranger, Joseph Darrigo, who helps her get through customs and escorts her to Merida.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When Lennea finds a large amount of money in a secret compartment in Delores' luggage, she becomes tangled in a web of intrigue. Where did the money come from? And what of the hansome stranger Lennea has come to trust? Is Joseph Darrigo really who he claims to be, or is he, along with Delores, involved in some illegal scheme?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">The term “painted lady” has a double meaning. It is often used to refer to “soiled doves” or fallen women of the Old West, who painted their faces with makeup when respectable women did not wear cosmetics. Houses of that same era painted in a multi-colored scheme are also often referred to as “Painted Ladies.” Though the terms are believed to be unrelated, these lovely homes, like our more flamboyant sisters, are the showy peacocks of architecture. Dating back to the mid to late 1800s, many of these historic homes throughout the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region></st1:place> have been remodeled and turned into bed and breakfasts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Though many Victorian styles may qualify as Painted Ladies, the architectural style most identified with the Painted Lady is the Queen Anne. The Queen Anne is usually a smaller home, with three stories and which may have a tower or turret. Whatever the architectural style, which may range from Greek Revival to Colonial, Painted Ladies can easily be identified not only by their brilliant, rainbow hues but by the intricate detailing on porches, shutters, molding around windows and eaves. The woodwork is often lacy in appearance. Because of this detailing, they are sometimes also referred to as “Gingerbread Houses”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Originally painted in brilliant colors, many of the old Painted Ladies were coated over with a white or cream color in the early 1900s. In the 1970s the Painted Lady made a comeback and many were restored to their original color schemes and brilliance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">According to contemporary standards, to qualify as a true Painted Lady, the house must meet three important criteria. The house must be a balanced, harmonious blend of color and architecture, it must be painted in three or more contrasting colors, and the colors must be used to bring out the decorative embellishments of the house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> Many Painted Ladies are done up in brilliant, contrasting colors. Any color can be used, as long as it draws out the architecture of the house. Examples of startling, yet successful blends of colors may be slate blue walls with contrasting sea green and mauve trim, or perhaps rose-colored walls with brilliant green and tan detailing. Some more sedate painted ladies may have white or tan outer walls with trim of pale pinks, blues, or mauves. The bolder ladies may be done in shocking pink, blue and orange.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">The term Painted Lady, as it refers to houses, is a relatively new one It originated in the early 1970s when <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:city></st1:place> residents began painting their Victorian homes in three or more contrasting colors. The trend spread to other places, such as <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Colorado</st1:state></st1:place>, where there are a wealth of Victorian homes still standing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">While examples of this architecture can be found scattered in all parts of the United States from the Northeast to the Southwest, many areas are known for their lovely Painted Lady districts. A person might come across a Painted Lady anywhere, from the East and West coast to the Midwest, but they will be found in greater number in gold rush towns such as <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:city></st1:place> where Victorians settled to build. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state></st1:place> has many areas along the coast where Painted Ladies can be seen in abundance. Though many were destroyed by fire, or demolished, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:city></st1:place> has long been known as a place to view this type of architecture. A row of Victorian houses on <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Steiner Street</st1:address></st1:street> in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:city></st1:place> is one of the most popular areas for these houses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Colorful and unique Painted Ladies are also prevalent in <st1:city w:st="on">Denver</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Colorado</st1:state>and in the many small, neighboring gold mining towns such as <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Georgetown</st1:city></st1:place>. Loretta and I visited and photographed several of these old houses, which provided inspiration for our book about such a house with a secret. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
