Thank you so much for having Rancor, Charity, and me at your lovely site, J. C.! Today I’d like to talk about Rancor Bass, scion of the Bass family of Maine. Midcoast Maine is the setting for several of my books, including the Penhallow Train Incident . The Pit and the Passion: Murder at the Ghost Hotel , my new cozy mystery romance, is set on the Gulf Coast of Florida. But the hero--Rancor Bass—comes from Camden, Maine. Here he explains some of his family history to Charity, our heroine. “The Basses go way back. The first Michael Bass settled in York in 1623, and several Basses fought in the French and Indian war.

ReplyDeleteLOL! A non-answer it is. Thank you for the feedback :-)
DeleteWow, JC. They're both so good. Mathair and I were torn for a while, but we both agree that the girl cover is very powerful and leaves such a statement. It's very fluid and ethereal.
