Virginia’s Ghost is a novel I’ve been tinkering with for longer than I care to admit. My goal is to publish it before I celebrate a certain milestone birthday–which, alarmingly, is not that far away!

My novel is set in a milieu I’m very familiar with–that of the auction world. For those of you who don’t know, I spent about a decade and a half of my working life at a Toronto auction house heading up the glass, porcelain, and silver departments. I’m attempting to bring that world to life through a colourful cast of somewhat eccentric characters. As the title suggests, there’s a strong paranormal element at work in the book, as well as a ghastly crime to be solved. But I’m not giving too much away just yet. I hope you’ll be content with this excerpt for the time being. Happy reading!
