Happy Michaelmas, the Autumn quarter-day in the English calendar and the important feast of St. Michael the Archangel. Some things associated with this September 29th feast day? Michaelmas daisies, which bloom at this time of year, the Michaelmas moon, which occurs close to the holiday, and the tradition of eating goose for good fortune.

An important scene in my next Emma Knightly Mystery takes places in gorgeous York Minster Cathedral. Emma and the gang head north to Yorkshire to visit Jane and Frank Churchill, hoping for a little rest and relaxation. Once again, however, Emma must dust off her sleuthing skills to solve yet another dastardly crime! 🕵️ 🔍

Coming this November from @kensingtonbooks
