In Bloody Lessons, it is the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day, 1880, and the teachers of San Francisco are under attack: their salaries slashed and their competency and morals questioned in a series of poison pen letters.  Annie Fuller, the reluctant clairvoyant, has been called in to investigate by Nate Dawson, her lawyer beau, and the case becomes personal when they discover that Laura, Nate’s sister, may be one of the teachers targeted for attack.

I have been delighted with the reception to this third book in my Victorian San Francisco Mystery series, but since the book is set in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day 1880, it seemed only appropriate to discount it as a sort of Valentine’s gift of my own. Bloody Lessons will be at 99 cents from February 7 to February 13, through a Kindle Countdown in the UK Store and the US Store. In addition, I have also written a post over at HFeBooks.com about Victorian Valentines that you all might find fun.
