Herman Beasley, known as the finest wood craftsman in England, enjoys making furniture for the villagers of Barnswallow. But in 1486, Herman's peaceful life takes an unexpected turn. Hundreds of years later, Professor William Moore moves from England to Canada where he receives an anonymous package from Barnswallow. Soon, he finds himself entangled-along with a determined forensic specialist and a friend-in a complex mystery that began to unravel well before his time. Markers of Descent intertwines the past and present as the characters attempt to solve a centuries-old mystery while humankind hangs in the balance. Lucia Cascioli is a Canadian writer.

Tales from the Burbs, and The Getaway Book. Lucia lives in the Greater Toronto Area.
Have you ever had one of those moments when you've thought or even dared to say WTF? Welcome to my world. Over the years I have, along with friends, shared stories-the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here is a collection of some of them, each with the opportune moment in which to insert the commonly used phrase WTF. This book is not an in-depth analysis of society. It is meant to bring a smile to your face, or maybe even a chuckle. Cherish the memories you make because, at the end of the day, WTF?
Doctors Sofia and Michael are driven to help others. In their terms overseas, they discover that the poorest countries host the most generous of spirits. Yet, for Sofia, this is not enough to chase away the demons that have haunted her. It is only by corresponding with the dead that she can rediscover the richness in her own life. Join Sofia as she travels on a very different journey in order to return amongst the living.
During a time of beheadings, wars and witch hunts, the Browning family and their friends navigate the politics and perils of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Their success and survival hinge on the whim of those who hold power and the fickleness of fate. The king is dead. Long live the queen. Richard Thomas Browning is born to follow in his father's footsteps in Common Law, but he and those around him must face the challenges of the era in which they live. While the country evolves, so too must the Browning family through radical beliefs and religious fervour. Follow the Browning family through generations touched by both tragedy and joy. "The Browning Family will win you over with their determination and perseverance in making a name for themselves during such a monumental period in history." - Susan Violante, Managing Editor, Reader Views

Tales from the Burbs. Reader Views reviews: Spiral will be enjoyable to all readers who like international terrorism intrigue. Lucia Cascioli has mastered a complex plot, edge-of-your-seat thriller.
