The Black Tourmaline is the first book of a trilogy in which Chapter one and two are non-fiction. Thereafter it morphs into a fictional tale that is laced with murder, mystery and a pitfall riddled romance. An enthusiastic fan of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys in my youth, I would like to think I have taken the art of masking mysteries with hidden clues to a new level. If you look close enough, you just might find a number of such clues and discover who is actually behind the murders...and why. By the end of “The Black Tourmaline,” the stage will not only be set for more danger filled adventures but reveal that love’s fight for survival has only just begun. Should you enjoy the ride and be left with more questions than answers, please look for book two of the trilogy, “Clearly in The Dark,” in late 2024
