Dear Readers,
On May 30th, I said a quiet and heartfelt goodbye to Clara Everhart with the release of The Chemist’s Refrain, the fourth and final installment in the Clara Everhart Time Travel Mystery series. Writing this series has been one of the most rewarding, surprising, and emotional creative journeys I’ve taken—and I’m so excited to finally be able to share the complete adventure with you.
Clara’s story began with The Missing Manuscript, a tale sparked by an antique trunk, a mysterious clock, and a long-lost page from Leonardo da Vinci’s journal. As the owner of Everhart & Co. Antiquarian Books and Curiosities, Clara quickly found herself swept into a hidden world of time loops, ancient codes, and shifting histories. From that moment on, I knew her life would never be the same—and neither would mine.
In The Clockwork Heir, Clara traveled deeper into the heart of the Pattern and began to unravel not just the threads of history, but also of identity and inheritance. She learned that preserving the past often means challenging the stories we’ve always believed to be true.
With The Archivist’s Lament, Clara faced the consequences of meddling with time and memory. She stepped into shadows she didn’t know existed, carrying with her both knowledge and doubt. For me, writing this book was about digging into the emotional toll of discovery—what we carry, what we lose, and how we remember.
And now, in The Chemist’s Refrain, Clara comes to the end of her journey. It’s not a tidy ending—because time never is. But it is one she chose, one that gives her—and us—a chance to reflect, release, and move forward. The quote that kept echoing in my mind as I wrote it was: “This is how it ends. Not forgotten. But allowed to be free.”
That line still gives me chills.
If you’ve walked this path with Clara from the beginning, thank you. If you’re just now discovering her story, I invite you to start with The Missing Manuscript and travel through time alongside her. All four books are now available, and you can find them on the Clara Everhart series page on Amazon.
I would love to hear from you—which book in the series spoke to you the most? What moment stayed with you? Leave a comment and let’s celebrate Clara’s journey together.
Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for believing in stories that bend time.
