Elegance and wealth. Privilege and politics. The extravagance of the Butterfly Palace overwhelmed Lily’s senses and nearly smothered her painful memories. She pushed away her misgivings . . . She was perfectly safe in this huge house. Austin, Texas—1904: Abandoned by the love of her life and still mourning the loss of her mother, Lily Donaldson has turned her back on the pain and come to Austin for a fresh start, working for the Marshall family as a kitchen maid in their luxurious mansion, the Butterfly Palace. The tasks before her are legion, and her mistress less than pleasant, but at least Lily’s new life will be, if nothing else, distracting. But one night, while serving at a dinner party, Lily recognizes the man who abandoned her, Andy, her liaison from the livery stable, the blacksmith’s son . . . sitting among the distinguished guests. Though he recognizes her, Andy does not acknowledge her aloud, and Lily is left reeling, flabbergasted, and irate. But before she can get an explanation, the path of the Servant Girl Killer swerves very close to the Butterfly Palace, sowing terror among the maids. Having come to Austin to start anew, Lily suddenly feels trapped in a spider web. How can she know who to trust in a house where lies come dressed in fine suits and deceit in silk gowns the colors of butterfly wings? “This story about the importance of having faith, especially in your darkest hour, is recommended for fans of Amanda Quick and Sandra Brown and for readers who enjoy romantic suspense and historical fiction.” —Library Journal

Evening in the Palace of Reason by James R. Gaines Pdf
Johann Sebastian Bach created what may be the most celestial and profound body of music in history; Frederick the Great built the colossus we now know as Germany, and along with it a template for modern warfare. Their fleeting encounter in 1757 signals a unique moment in history where belief collided with the cold certainty of reason. Set at the tipping point between the ancient and modern world, Evening in the Palace of Reason captures the tumult of the eighteenth century, the legacy of the Reformation, and the birth of the Enlightenment in this extraordinary tale of two men.
Bog O’Mullet’s story is loosely based on a journey he made in 1975-6 when he travelled through Europe on a Triumph motorcycle, all his possessions in a yellow plastic bag strapped across the bike. An interest in computers later led to his career designing and building large IT systems for industry. Today he remembers the seventies as a golden age, the last decade before computerisation enslaved us. Now retired, he tends his collection of ‘70s superbikes and writes. This is his first novel. “The Night Palace is startlingly original. A spiritual noir— part globetrotting thriller, part, psychological drama— the novel follows Henry, its captivating protagonist, on his adventures (and internal, soul-seeking journey) across Europe as he finds himself entangled in bizarre and chilling plots, enmeshed in a strange world of mysterious characters, and forced to face his past and future, as each choice he makes unlocks new doors of understanding. Author Bog O’Mullet expertly blends romance, danger, and philosophy, portraying the inner-life of a man embarked on an odyssey of hard-won change; the novel has such a wide breadth of characters and narrative intrigues which elevate the story into a gripping parable that resonates into universality. The prose is sharp and fast, Mr. O’Mullet painting wild, vivid locales and portraying the poetic depths of the soul with an artful ease that draws the reader into the novel and holds them there with twists, turns, and profound truths. A stunning work. I highly recommend The Night Palace.” —Charles Asher MFA, Phi Beta Kappa Reviews If you liked Kurt Vonnegut (Breakfast of Champions) and Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) back in the seventies, then you’ll enjoy The Night Palace today.
