Landry blaming "far left liberals" for why amendments failed IN LOUISIANA is funny. Amendment 2 went down 65-35 statewide. Without Orleans it went down 61-39. Without Orleans and Baton Rouge it went down 59-41.

For the amendments on the ballot in Louisiana today, none of them better the lives of non ultra-wealthy people. We're truly just voting "no" to not to make everyday living even worse.

Archaeologists have unearthed the huge tomb of an unknown pharaoh at an Egyptian necropolis, a team of researchers said on Thursday, in what they are calling the second discovery of a king’s tomb this year.

Tomb of Unknown Pharaoh Is Unearthed in Egypt

The burial chamber most likely belonged to a ruler in a line of kings once lost to history, researchers said. “It’s a new chapter in investigating this dynasty.”

My author copies are here for The Secret of the Three Fates and they are so beautiful!! I cannot believe the next installment in the Ruby Vaughn mysteries will be in the world in just over 2 weeks 🖤 coming Dec 3 in the US and Dec 5 in the UK.

Copy of The Secret of the Three Fates on broken bricks by pink flowers, a stand of pearls and a ring.

The Secret of the Three Fates back cover copy: American heiress Ruby Vaughn still hasn't entirely forgiven her octogenarian employer and housemate Mr. Owen for bringing the occult into their lives during her recent trip to Cornwall. He claims their journey to Manhurst Castle in the Scottish Borders is simply to appraise and acquire illuminated manuscripts for their rare books shop, however when Ruby discovers there are no manuscripts and receives news of a séance to be held that very night, she begins to grow suspicious about the true reason why they have come.

The Great War left grieving families willing to sacrifice anything for the chance to say goodbye to a lost loved one. Mr. Owen is no exception. He is desperate to speak to his son, but he doesn’t want to face the spirits alone. When the séance—hosted by a trio of mediums billing themselves as The Three Fates—goes awry, Mr. Owen’s secrets begin to unravel, threatening to reveal a history that he has been running from for half his life. Something Ruby knows all too well how to do.

When Ruby finds one of the Three Fates murdered the night of the seance, she and Mr. Owen quickly become the prime suspects. To clear their names, Ruby enlists the help of Ruan Kivell, the folk healer Pellar who helped her weeks before in Cornwall. As their investigation progresses Ruby and Ruan realize someone is determined to prevent them from uncovering the truth about what happened to the dead medium.
