Resurrecting Harry, Resurrecting a Legend
I knew when I decided to write a book about a reincarnated Harry
Houdini, that I was treading on thin ice. I wasn’t just writing an alternate
timeline for an historical figure, I was adding a new fictional tale to the
life of legend. But, when the idea of an
escape artist who could escape death hit me, I know Houdini was the only
potential star for this story.
I combatted my fears with research and by writing a story that was
about more than the act, and about more than the real life man and woman. Resurrecting
Harry is about learning from our past mistakes and understanding that each
day is a gift we’re given and not to be squandered.
I’ve been asked if it was harder to write about (fictional) real-life
characters than the characters I completely make up in my head. The answer: not
really. If anything, it was easier. I’m
a pantster (wite by the seat of my pants). So, when I’m working with characters
that I’m building from the ground up, my first fifty pages end up uneven. The
characters say and do odd things until I figure out their personality. With
Resurrecting Harry, I researched Bess and Harry’s life and felt like I had
sense of who they were. Quite the pair, both of them were determined and both
worked hard for their eventual success. It didn’t take me long to figure them
out, and to begin writing them in a consistent way.
It is my hope that when you read Resurrecting Harry, I’m able to take
you to the make believe time and enjoy a new happily-ever-after for these
legendary people.

Book Description:
Can the greatest escape artist ever known break the grim reaper’s chains to save the only woman he’s ever loved?
In order to save Bess from self-destruction, Harry Houdini puts his afterlife on the line by entering a wager with purgatory’s keeper. He gives Harry a younger face and body, and a new name: Erich Welch.
Bess clings to his promise to deliver a coded message from beyond the grave, determined to provide the bridge for him to cross, even if that means befriending her husband's sworn enemy.
Erich needs to help Bess over her loss and put her on the road to healing, but will any good come from resurrecting Harry?
