An old, red book with "The Lamplighter" and an intricate design etched into the cover in black

I saw a Facebook post recently about #author Maria S. Cummins, and how her first #novel The Lamplighter outsold Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter in 1854. So I hunted down a copy. Very much looking forward to #reading this! #booksky #femaleauthor

These woods saw a dark chapter: satanists murdered people there in the '90s and early 2000s. That inspired my latest noir writing. #IndieAuthor #NoirStories #books #darkness #RelaxIveGotYourBack #BecauseHeWasEvil #Italy #FemaleAuthor #WomenWriting
