Mrs. Murray’s Hidden Treasure by Emily-Jane Hills Orford

An avid gardener, artist, musician and writer, Emily-Jane Hills Orford has fond memories and lots of stories that evolved from a childhood growing up in a haunted Victorian mansion. 


Told she had a ‘vivid imagination’, the author used this talent to create stories in her head to pass tedious hours while sick, waiting in a doctor’s office, listening to a teacher drone on about something she already knew, or enduring the long, stuffy family car rides. The author lived her stories in her head, allowing her imagination to lead her into a different world, one of her own making. As the author grew up, these stories, imaginings and fantasies took to the written form and, over the years, she developed a reputation for telling a good story. 


Emily-Jane can now boast that she is an award-winning author of several books, including King Henry’s Choice (Clean Reads 2019), Mrs. Murray’s Ghost (Telltale Publishing 2018), Mrs. Murray’s Hidden Treasure (Telltale Publishing 2019), Queen Mary’s Daughter (Clean Reads 2018), Gerlinda (CFA 2016) which received an Honorable Mention in the 2016 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards, To Be a Duke (CFA 2014) which was named Finalist and Silver Medalist in the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards and received an Honorable Mention in the 2015 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards and several other books. 


A retired teacher of music and creative writing, she writes about the extra-ordinary in life and her books, short stories, and articles are receiving considerable attention. For more information on the author, check out her website at: http://emilyjanebooks.ca

There is a hidden treasure in the grand old mansion on Piccadilly Street, in a place called London, but not the real London of English fame. There’s also a lot of mystery and a murder that’s been unsolved for decades. But it’s the treasure that captures Mary’s interest. 

 
 
Mary lives in this house along with her family, her Brownie friends and a ghost. When the ghost reveals her secret about the hidden treasure, there’s no stopping Mary, her Brownie friends, or her enemies from searching for this treasure. 
 
 

Why the intrigue? Apparently there’s a little bit of magic connected to this treasure. And so the adventure begins. Who will find the treasure first?

Q & A With the Author:
1.     When did you write your first novel? In
the late 1970s? I did manage to finish it, and I probably still have a copy of
the novel somewhere, but it was a very weak attempt at writing and not
something I’d want to publish. It was a good exercise, though. My next novel
was my grandmother’s story, “Personal Notes”. I wrote it in first
person narrative, from my grandmother’s point of view. The publisher commented
that when he read it, he could almost see my grandmother sitting in her rocking
chair telling her stories, which she often did. I started writing “Person
Notes” in 1995, just after my grandmother passed away. It helped me heal
from the feeling of loss. She and I were very close.
2.     What drove you to write / why did you become an author? I come from a family of storytellers, but being the youngest, I often
didn’t have a chance to share my stories in the oral tradition, so, as soon as
I could write, I started writing my stories. My mother saved most of my stories
and, after she passed away, I was surprised to find them tucked away in a box
in the storage space underneath the stairs. 
3.     How do you create your characters? A
lot of my characters are people from real life. The saying that goes around on
Facebook that you should be nice to a writer because they have the power to do
anything with your character in their novels, is very true. But none of my
characters is an exact copy of a real life person. I mix and match
characteristics from people I know, people I’ve studied in history and people I
read about in the news. The only character that remains the same is my
grandmother, who surprisingly or not, is in most of my novels as Gran, Granny,
Grandma or Grandmother. In “Mrs. Murray’s Hidden Treasure”, she’s
Granny. My grandmother always claimed we’d soon forget her after she passed
away. I’ve proved her wrong with all the stories I’ve written in the past 24
years. 
4.     What is one thing you love about Fall / Autumn? I have mixed feelings about Fall, as it always free-falls into winter,
which I don’t like at all. I guess what I do like, though, are the colors.
Living in eastern Ontario, we enjoy a very colorful display of leaves each
fall. Living in the country, a walk along our country road is almost magical,
the bees are still humming in the hedges along the road (one of our neighbors
is a bee-keeper) and the apples are ripe and falling onto the road, along with
the bright reds and golds of the maple leaves. 
5.     Who is the person or group of people that most support you in your
writing?
My husband. My parents, when they were alive, were
also supportive. 

 

6.     What is your favorite Halloween Memory? I remember my best friend’s birthday party. She was turning 6. We
dressed in costumes made up of this and that from around the house, not the
store-bought variety that is a must today. I dressed as a princess in a pink
satin gown my mother had cut down from one of her old dresses. She had done up
my hair fancy with a crown she created from some old costume jewelry and as we
bobbed for apples at the party, I remember being annoyed when my ‘crown’ kept
slipping into the bucket of water.

people’s houses, taught school, and had a stint as a secretary in a rock-n-roll
radio station. She also worked as a 911 operator and a police dispatcher. 


Her fiction began to win awards during her college days. Since then she’s
published several short stories, novels, and novellas. She’s always reading and

Q & A With the Author:
1.         What drove you
to write / why did you become an author?
I wrote my first novel,
STEVIE-GIRL AND THE PHANTOM PILOT after winning a short fiction contest at the
Abilene Writer’s Guild. A new small press requested it and once it was done, it
went on to become a 4 book series.
I’ve always loved reading so it seemed natural to start writing as
a teenager.
2.         How do you
create your characters?
I don’t create characters intentionally. They come
to life in my head and then I let them out.
3. What is one thing you love about Fall / Autumn? I love
everything about Autumn; the colors, the smells, the cooler weather, and
Halloween.
4.         Who is the
person or group of people that most support you in your writing?
My family
is very supportive of my writing, although my biggest supporter was my sister
(also an avid reader) who recently passed away. I also have three writing
groups whose members are awesome.
5.        What is your
favorite Halloween Memory?
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year.
When I was a kid, my siblings and I would traipse up and down the streets of
our small hometown, trick-or-treating. We basically had the run of the entire
town. On a scarier note, a man came in our house one Halloween night after we
were all asleep (Dad was out of town) and my mom hit him in the head with a
hammer when he appeared in our bedroom door. We made our escape and he went to
the hospital then jail. We kids just knew he had broke in to steal our
Halloween candy. It had been a banner trick-or-treating night that year.

Jesse’s Girl by Tara September

 

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Jesse’s Girl by Tara September was a good book but very predictable.  Even though I said that I still really enjoyed this book. I really loved the narrator and that made me want to listen to this book until it was finished.  I am going to add her to my list of people that I love listening to read books. I fell in love with Gwen and I also felt bad for her because of what her husband put her through.  I will never understand why people act the way that they do but I love that this was able to make the characters come to life for me as I was listening. This book was a super quick book to listen to and I was able to listen to the entire book while I was working one day and I loved that.  I also enjoyed this author and I have added her to my list authors to check out in the future.  If you are looking for a sweet contemporary romance book to listen to I would for sure listen to this one.

About The Book

Author: Tara September

Narrator: Verla Bond

Length: 3 hours 37 minutes

Publisher: Plus it Up⎮2019

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release date: Sep. 6, 2019

Successful Texas lawyer, Reade Walker, curses that damn song every time it plays, all too aware of the irony of its lyrics. After all, he has been secretly and painfully enamored with Jesse’s girl, Gwen, for nearly a decade. It was love at first sight for him, but sadly she’s not his girl. She belongs to the one man who betrayed him and knows Reade’s hidden family secret. Yet, Reade can’t seem to love anyone except the one woman he can’t have. Or can he make her mine? 

When Gwen Clark’s senator husband runs off with his intern and all their money, the ensuing scandal turns her life upside down. Deserted, penniless, and desperate to provide for her six-year-old daughter, Gwen has no one to turn to but Reade Walker. The one man her heart desperately wants, but her pride dreads having to ask for help. Despite welcoming them into his home, it seems like Reade can barely stand being in the same room with her anymore, let alone under the same roof – in the same bedroom. But Gwen is determined to get her life back on track. It is past time to rediscover her own dreams…if only she can keep her aching heart from breaking all over again.

New roles. New rules. No margin for
error.
 
 
Zezilia Ilar joins the sept son’s
entourage as a defender. Her growing Talent ability makes her a target for the
Elitists, and her gender makes people question her competence. She must protect
the sept son. Any mistake could be fatal.
 
 
Hadrian Aleron always knew his beliefs
would cause trouble, but he didn’t realize how much. Rebels are rising. He
could lose his title, his position, and if he’s not careful, his life. As the
assassination attempts grow bolder, Hadrian must rely upon his young defender
and their shared faith in the Almighty to keep him from faltering.

Snippet:
Zezilia
Suddenly,
I was aware of a new presence on the perimeter of my thoughts. Dropping my
connection with Hadrian, I began erecting the barriers that Selwyn had taught
me, working from my angulus, the center of my consciousness, outward.
Zezilia?
Hadrian’s rich flavor distracted me.
I
wrenched my concentration back to the growing feeling of invasion. It was
stronger than Selwyn’s first trial attack all those months ago, more subtle
too. Whoever it was, he didn’t want me to notice his existence until it was too
late for me do anything about it. By the grace of the Almighty, I had sensed it
early enough.
I
slid the last of my defenses into place just as someone touched my arm. I
paused to raise my eyes. My gaze traced the path from the hand on my arm to
Renato’s concerned face. The invader touched the first of my defenses. When
nothing happened, fear spread through my chest. Renato must have seen it in my
eyes. The invader resumed his advance as Renato’s musky taste filled my mouth.
Are
you alright?

 

The
attacker bypassed another trap. I knew what I had to do. Shoving away Renato’s
connection, I ConPropped. My Talent senses went blind, but I didn’t need them
to hear the deafening crash from the far end of the room. All eyes went to the
man sprawled among the remains of a table at King Sabine’s feet. Well, all but
Hadrian’s. His gaze immediately found my face. His concern quickly turned to
something more serious as he realized what might have happened. I didn’t dare
risk touching my amoveo just yet. If I awakened my Talent, I would again become
vulnerable, and this time, the enemy would be angry.

I’m a smart-ass with a foul mouth and I don’t take any sh–stuff from anyone. I’ve been through some things that not even my BFF knows about. So, I have only one thing I want from a man, and it isn’t his bank account. Hell, it’s not even his personality. Appendages are all I need. That’s why I hate Micah. He had to go being all NICE. But our time is short. Once we leave Key West, everything stops. It’s for the best. It’s what we both want. 
Or is it?

 

I’ve got no time for women. They require too much attention and if I’m going to build one of the premier bike shops in Manhattan, I can’t afford to waste time with dating. I have goals. That’s why I hate Ang. She’s infuriating, sexy, and complicated. All the things I cannot deal with right now. While we’re in Key West, I’ll indulge. Once we leave Key West, everything stops. That’s what I want. 
Right?
