Sage Anthony is a mystery writer, achingly pigeonholed into a genre that bores her. Murder in medieval convents and abbeys are her stock and trade, but she cannot write gore anymore. After growing up in New York’s Hudson Valley minus a biological father, taunted by a homicide-detective stepfather and wary of Stepfather#2, Sage’s mind is rife with suspicion. Blunt trauma to her head makes her thirty-something life tortured, even though she lives in a loft apartment on the New Paltz, New York estate of a old billionaire who is obsessed with her––but then, so was his wife.
Her Irish-born mother is similarly guarded in her affairs, critical of Sage’s choices, and she fumes as a 21st century American patriot. Alas, her daughter is not tuned into incendiary politics. Sage's life proves the maxim, “What you think about expands.” Luck follows as Sage strikes it rich and does as she fancies at her own New Paltz estate and in France. France is where the Flights of Fancy takes you more than once, the last trip capped by a February 2020 stopover in Milan for Fashion Week.
Gossamer Wings takes place in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown when Sage is stuck in luxurious isolation on her Hudson River Valley estate. She is determined (if afraid) to solve the mystery of her biological family. Her mother still infuriates Sage. Her staff suffers the wealthy woman's moods and bright ideas as they live out their own dramas. The future looms more than beckons as she wonders if the only being she can trust is her beagle.
