Who's comeing? Spell? Ohh intriging--I can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so excited. You decided to write this from Jessie's dream didn't you. I'm so happy you are doing something with that. It is going to make a great story and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteDS - this one is the start of the story from the gardner/museum/wedding ring galumping prompt. I'm working on that one first. Think I may wait with the Jessie one until I take the mystery writing class. Thanks for reading my writing!!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a grabber! Boston's most beautiful museum is the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and so I'm picturing the Gardner Museum with this story.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check that out. I've been doing some research to find a museum on the east coast that is in the country and could have been a manor house in the early 1900's.
ReplyDeleteGardner Museum is in the middle of Boston. But I think I have EXACTLY the place for you -- Hill-Stead Museum in rural Farmington Connecticut.

A good friend of mine from grad school is director of Hill-Stead and I'll bet she would LOVE to be involved in your mystery.
From my brief look, I think you have found it! I'll do more research and contact the website above. THANK YOU!
