Odd thing about living in California is that you can go to the beach in December. It wasn’t hot or anything, but it was a pleasant time watching seagulls fight over the body parts of crab right next to your children fighting over a sand toy. Funny how the two sound so similar. Nice thing about it was there were so many seagulls and children, you didn’t really worry about the noise of your kids because they all sounded a like. I also liked the fact that the beach doesn’t have any Christmas decorations. Don’t get me wrong, I like the decorations. I also like to get away from it a bit and just relax a bit from the chaos. I think we will try it again today. Time to get some sand in between my toes.

FREE for a limited time
Italy 1899: Fiery-tempered, seductive, medium Alessandra Poverelli levitates a table at a Spiritualist séance in Naples. A reporter photographs the miracle, and wealthy, skeptical, Jewish psychiatrist Camillo Lombardi arrives in Naples to investigate. When she materializes the ghost of his dead mother, he risks his reputation and fortune to finance a tour of the Continent, challenging the scientific and academic elite of Europe to test Alessandra’s mysterious powers. She will help him rewrite Science. His fee will help her escape her sadistic husband Pigotti and start a new life in Rome. Newspapers across Europe trumpet her Cinderella story and baffling successes, and the public demands to know – does the “Queen of Spirits” really have supernatural powers? Nigel Huxley is convinced she’s simply another vulgar, Italian trickster. The icy, aristocratic detective for England’s Society for the Investigation of Mediums launches a plot to trap and expose her. Meanwhile, the Vatican is quietly digging up her childhood secrets, desperate to discredit her supernatural powers; her abusive husband Pigotti is coming to kill her; and the tarot cards predict catastrophe.
Inspired by the true-life story of controversial Italian medium Eusapia Palladino (1854-1918), The Witch of Napoli masterfully resurrects the bitter,19th-century battle between Science and religion over the possibility of an afterlife, while earning praise from Kirkus Reviews as an “enchanting and graceful narrative that absorbs readers from the first page.” In March 2015, The Witch of Napoli” became an Amazon Top 100 paid bestseller.
