Tulips in Winter: An Excerpt from A Remedy Against Sin

Happy June to you all! When I was thinking about this month’s theme, “Blossoming Love,” I realized that I rarely set a story in summer. Nor do I have many flowers in my novels (or, when I do, I tend to put them in seasons not meant for those flowers)! All of these thoughts brought …
