Ashes on the Wind (Leopold and Loeb 1924) 100th year of the Crime of the Century May 21st 2024

 

Ashes on the Wind 

The Love Story Behind The Crime of the Century

This crime happened 100 years ago in 1924. There are many books about the crime. Brandy Purdy gets a bit more intimate about what the Leopold and Loeb crime was about and why would two young wealthy men with the world at their feet commit such a crime. With impeccable research, Brandy tells the intimate story of Leopold and Loeb on a different level than other people have done. A very important fiction book written by an author who takes her time to tell a story. She has 9 other historical fiction books of which 2 others are highlighted here. 

What is the book about?

"Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were the defendants in the infamous Leopold and Loeb case. They were wealthy and highly intelligent students who committed a heinous crime in 1924. The duo kidnapped and murdered a 14-year-old boy named Bobby Franks in Chicago, believing they could commit the perfect crime. 

Their motive was to demonstrate their intellectual superiority by committing a flawless act of violence. However, their arrogance led to their eventual capture and trial.

Clarence Darrow, a renowned defense attorney, represented them during the trial, which became a significant legal spectacle. Ultimately, Leopold and Loeb were sentenced to life imprisonment for their crime. Their case raised questions about criminal responsibility, punishment, and rehabilitation."  

What motivated them?

"Leopold and Loeb’s motive for the crime was rooted in their misguided belief in their own intellectual superiority. They sought to prove their brilliance by committing a “perfect” murder. Unfortunately, their arrogance led to their capture and a significant legal trial"

Nathan (Babe) Leopold and Richard (Dickie) Loeb

Ashes on the Wind

(Leopold and Loeb 1924)

As he packed up his medical bag Dr. Frankenthal shook his head glumly and muttered "You'd both be better off if you said goodbye right now."

Naturally, I ignored him. He didn't understand us, nobody did. It was all so much drunken drama, but in the cold light of morning and sobriety the fire always burned out. It was like our love endured a nightly cremation and then at dawn we watched it rise anew, reborn, a phoenix from the ashes. It truly was a beautiful thing!

In this final chapter, Ron's story concludes from Reflections on the Boulevard (2023). Michael's wish was for Ron to exile himself in the heart of Paris with its beautiful culture and citizens as they protest and fight for the soul of the city. Ron's journey is met with life-affirming friendships and lessons along the way. The final book in the Reflections of Michael Trilogy, which started with A Reservoir Man (2022).

Tour Dates 

A cool autumn breeze, in the twilight, wrapped around our exile who sat on a bench in front of a bookstore that resembled a place we might find in a Tolkien novel. On this street, rue de la Buccheri, was the bookstore Shakespeare and Company. The store itself was famous for housing the books of many great literary artists on their shelves. They also supported any young or old artistic vagabonds by allowing them to sleep in the aisles of the bookstore on makeshift beds when finding themselves homeless.

Ron, who managed the store, sat on this bench every evening thinking of Michael. Ron thought of things he remembered and how much he learnt from Michael. He felt the emptiness in his soul, yearning to have that connection just one more time. He had lived in Paris for six years now, a brief time for an exile, yet he was free from a society drowning in untruths; his refuge was the bookstore.

Just like every night, as Ron prepared to close the store, he occasionally checked the front of the store, looking for his friend. Then, he noticed another young man still looking at books on the outside shelves.

Ron moved outside to get a closer look at the late customer under the guise of moving the outdoor book bins back inside. He suddenly noticed that the young man was putting a book down his pants.

Ron raised his voice and shouted for the thief to put the book back on the shelf. The young man, caught in the act, ran away.

The young man sprinted and tripped while running past the café. In this stumble, he decided to turn the corner and make his way rapidly toward la Seine.

Whispers Through The Canvas by Kathleen McGillick Blog Tour!

 

Whispers Through the Canvas

Murder... Across the Fractured Corridors of Time.

Plunged into a centuries-old conspiracy, unconventional art historian Rowan Southeil must race against time to stop an ancient evil from rewriting history. When a young artist is murdered in a chilling echo of medieval violence, Rowan finds herself drawn to a seemingly unrelated clue - a 16th-century painting drenched in arcane symbols. Aided by the victim's haunting presence, Rowan delves into the painting's mysterious past, uncovering a dark conspiracy that stretches back generations.

Teaming up with the pragmatic Detective Lancaster, the intuitive Rowan follows a daring journey through time, from the storied halls of 16th-century Tudor London to the secretive 17th-century Vatican. As she awakens powerful elemental forces within herself, Rowan must decipher the painting's secrets - and the connection to the medieval-style murder - before Lev Rubilov, a dark centuries-old occultist, can harness its magic to rewrite history and restore a twisted vision of the past.

For fans of genre-blending thrillers like A Discovery of Witches and Outlander, this captivating novel weaves together mystery, the supernatural, and high-stakes time travel in a race against the clock to stop an ancient evil. Whispers Through The Canvas is a crime story, filled with action and adventure, within a historical fantasy milieu. If you love kick-ass heroines who have a bit of life experience and walk on the wild side of magic, this book is for you.

- The protagonist arrives in 16th century London through the paintings portal

Ornate oak furnishings crowded the space, and richly hued tapestries and velvet drapes materialized in my vision. Polished planks underfoot creaked with each cautious step as I moved through warm beams of daylight, slivering the blanket of oak on the walls. The lavender-kissed air hung heavy. Every detail screamed 16th century.

With each cautious step, I moved silently, my footsteps barely making a sound on the smooth surface. I couldn’t shake the feeling of vulnerability. As I navigated the room, I marveled at the wealth and privilege that permeated every corner. This was the dwelling of someone of significant means and influence.

However, my own circumstances had drastically changed. Now, clad in incongruous 16th century attire, I felt like an imposter in this lavish setting. Every instinct urged me to be discreet, to blend into the shadows, for the consequences of being discovered in this time and place could be dire. As I approached the window, I positioned myself to the side, careful not to obstruct the view. Peeking out, my eyes widened at the sight before me. The architecture of the manor house was unmistakably Tudor.

In the midst of the courtyard, my attention was drawn to a man and a woman engaged in an intense conversation. Their body language spoke volumes, revealing a complex dynamic between them. The woman appeared wary, keeping a safe distance from the man, who emitted an air of power and significance. A sense of recognition stirred within me as I wondered if these were the very individuals I had glimpsed inside the witch ball. Who were they, and what role did they play in this intricate web of events? The pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, but there were still many unanswered questions.

Yet, amidst the intrigue and uncertainty, a sense of danger loomed. The strict societal norms and limited rights, particularly for women, during the mid-1500s added a layer of apprehension. Aware of the risks, I reminded myself to remain cautious and observant. The task at hand was to gather as much information as possible, decipher the motives of those around me, and navigate this treacherous era without drawing attention to myself. It was a delicate dance, one that required me to blend in while searching for answers.

Keenly aware, I continued to survey the courtyard, my eyes darting from one figure to another, searching for any clue that might shed light on my situation. My palms grew slick. Who were these mysterious figures exchanging forbidden goods?

My heart jumped. A voice said, “That is Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey.”  

“Jesus! You about gave me a heart attack. Who are you?” I said and whirled around to see a tiny older woman clad like me, in mid-16th century garb. The woman from the orb.

She continued without introduction. “Ah, Henry Howard, he is a great poet; he is. But not well-liked. Arrogant he is. And because of that, he will lose his handsome head. Go on, open the window. Give it a listen. Do you think you can stop the exchange?” 

Henry Howard. Could it be him?

I touched the black metal handle on the window, pulled it down, and with a slight push, the window eased open. The secluded area was quiet except for the chirping birds perched in a gnarled oak tree. The man accepted a package wrapped in cloth bound with twine. He peeled back the fabric revealing a painting.

“No one must ever know,” the man I assumed was Henry said. “This must remain our secret.”

“For both our sakes,” the woman said sternly, with a heavy German accent. “If His Majesty found out I had painted such a woman for you—”

“Yes, yes,” Henry said, undeterred, and pressed a leather pouch into her palm. “Now you must go.”

The woman placed the pouch inside the folds of her smartly made dress and slipped away. What was I supposed to do? Run like a madwoman and snatch the painting from him?

Romancing the Feral

Coletti Warlords Series Book 18

by Gail Koger

Genre 

SciFi Romance, Comedic Adventure

Much to her parents’ delight, Zadie’s angelic appearance and unique psychic abilities won her the title of master thief by the time she was twelve years old. Zadie wasn’t so elated, she hated stealing.

Her parents’ life of crime was how they ended up on Gliese, the hellhole of the galaxy, where every day was a fight for survival, and the inhabitants would slit your throat for a scrap of food, or a bottle of clean water. Zadie’s innocent appearance hides the feral warrior she’s becoming.

Jedrick, commander of a Coletti battle group, is stunned to discover this dangerous child is his future mate and it's a full-time job keeping her alive. Will she live to see twenty-one?

Amazon * Smashwords *Bookbub * Goodreads

Poof! Out of nowhere, a huge, very angry Coletti warrior with red chains woven into his warrior’s braids appeared with a laser pistol in one hand. His cold amber gaze studied me for a moment and then dismissed me as harmless.

 

I rolled my eyes. Like Mother always said, ‘Males are predictable and incredibly stupid’. Uncle Ax had psychic abilities, but he seldom used them. If he had mentally scanned the area for any kind of threats, he wouldn’t be oblivious to the Coletti warrior standing behind him. Now would he? Once again it was up to me to save the day. I raised my hands and in my best scared little girl voice cried, “Don’t shoot us. Please, don’t shoot us.”

 

Uncle Ax’s head jerked up. His eyes began to glow as he summoned his berserker powers.

 

I smothered a groan. In his berserker mode, reckless didn’t even begin to describe Uncle Ax.

 

Totally ignoring the weapon pointed at him, Uncle Ax attacked the warrior.

 

To my horror, the fight lasted about sixty seconds. My uncle was abruptly face down on the floor and handcuffed. “I am Battle Commander Jedrick, and you are under arrest for theft, sabotage, terrorism, and child endangerment.” He held out his hand to me. “Come to me child. You are safe now.”

 

Like I said, predictable. He thought the laser pistol on my gun belt was a toy and he wasn’t wearing his battle armor. I whipped out my child-sized weapon and fired.

 

Jedrick’s eyes widened in surprise as the stun beam hit him in the chest. He crumpled to the deck as violent muscle spasms contorted his body. His gaze never left me. It was as if he was imprinting me on his mind.

Howdy. My name is Gail Koger and once upon a time I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Too many years of wild requests, screwy questions, bizarre behavior and outrageous demands have left me with a permanent twitch and an uncontrollable craving for chocolate. I took up writing science fiction romance to keep from killing people. So far, it has worked.

Tears fell from her face, smearing her perfectly made-up persona. He took her hand and led her to the couch. After searching the disorganized condo, for Lizzy’s standards, for tissues, he finally brought out a roll of toilet paper. He picked up the papers and set them beside him as he picked her up and sat her on his lap.

“Is it another man?” he asked softly. Afraid if she said yes, he’d lose it, yet needing to know. His OCD ex-wife was off her game, and he wasn’t leaving until he knew the truth. His hand automatically swiped the tear running down her cheek as her eyes remained fixed on the documents.

Lizzy stroked along his jaw as she shook her head. “I’d never do that to you.”

“But you don’t want to see me anymore. What isn’t working?” He held the makeshift tissue while she blew her nose. He noticed the paleness of her face and the dark circles under her eyes as they flitted to the items beside him.

Michael’s gaze followed hers and landed on the pages. His eyes glossed over the words and stopped at “breast cancer.” He swallowed down the lump in his throat as he faced her. “Are you sick?” His heart raced as he watched her startled gaze meet his.

Her silence confirmed his fear.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” he whispered.

She rose up from his lap and walked across the room. Her hand fiddled with the longer strands of hair on the back of her neck from her pixie cut. “I didn’t plan on telling you. I intend to face this alone. I don’t want you to stay, especially now.” she whispered as if she didn’t want to say the words aloud.
