Fiction

“Nora Shipley isn’t your average historical romance heroine. She is an entomologist—a corset-wearing, nineteenth-century graduate of Cornell University who is fascinated by bugs. This unique premise had me eager to dig into A Mosaic of Wings. Painful mistakes, romance, adventure, courage, and an endearing hero kept me engaged and turning those pages until the very satisfying end. An excellent first novel by Kimberly Duffy.”
