You just never know what’s around the corner or what might fall
into your lap, or who you’re about to meet.
I’m Gale Hymson. You’ve met me
before in the Zodiac Mysteries, I know, and I’m proud to say I’m in every single
book and there are more stories to come.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the strangeness of
serendipity and synchronicity. Big words
you say? Yup, I guess they are. But sometimes the best things in life happen
just by accident.
That’s how I met my dear friend Julia Bonatti. Right about that time I was in the process of
opening my occult bookshop in North Beach.
Julia was helping her grandmother out at a theatre nearby and we met
over a wall in a parking lot, of all places! She spotted me unloading boxes for the shop and said hello
and we struck up a friendship from that day on.
I won’t tell you everything that happened because it would give the whole
story away, but I was very glad to be nearby to help her out in an emergency.
Just think -- if Julia’s grandmother Gloria didn’t happen to
be doing the wardrobe for that ill-starred theater production, Julia wouldn’t
have been present either. We would never
have met. Sometimes you meet someone
quite by accident and you know, you just know, that this is a person who will
stay in your life and become a really good friend. I consider myself blessed that Julia and I
found each other.
See you there!

Love these books! Looking forward to more great stories.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Casey!!! So glad to hear that.
DeleteOh wow. I was wondering about this series. I can't wait to read more books.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, thanks for visiting today. Yes, the next is a novella, which will be an e-book, and then Zodiac #4, Serpent's Doom.
DeleteIt is amazing how some people meet. Fate has a great way of making important introductions. I look forward to reading the new novella and can't wait for more full length books in the series!
ReplyDeleteI think I wrote the novella after I received FB messages and emails from a few people who wanted to know more about how Julia got her start, more about her grandmother, and how she found her cat Wizard. I hadn't thought of doing anything like that before, but it was really fun to write. Hope you enjoy it soon!
