Blurb/Synopsis:
San Francisco in the roaring 20s-- After World War I, San Francisco is a wild town. Abandoned by her lover, Violetta is swept up in the new, freer ways and becomes America's first "embedded journalist." She joins a brothel that caters to San Francisco's most powerful men in order to write her epic story on the conditions of working women. But federal agents looking to clamp down on both vice and workers' rights don't take kindly to her modern views. Shorter dresses, fair pay for women, and the dark and frightening worlds of sex and politics teach Violetta the lessons of a lifetime.
Claudia H Long writes fiction when she isn't mediating messy
legal disputes. She has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and as a change she
recently tried to take up belly dancing. Luckily, she is a better mediator than
she is a dancer, by far, but her real love is writing fiction.
The
Harlot's Pen, her first venture into the roaring 20s, is a Devine Destinies
book, an adventure in embedded (literally!) journalism and the rights of working
women in the world's oldest profession. Claudia is also the author of
Josefina's Sin (Simon & Schuster 2011). The Duel for Consuelo, which
follows on Josefina's Sin, will come out in late Spring 2014 with Booktrope.
Claudia has two grown children, and lives in Northern
California with her husband and far too many animals.
