Debut Novelist Rachel Gates Unveils Sparkling Regency Mystery,
“A Brilliant Convergence”
Debut novelist Rachel Gates and WordCrafts Press are thrilled to announce the release of A Brilliant Convergence, which released to retail on January 8, 2025, in hardback, trade paperback, and all major ebook formats. Set during the British Regency period in the early 19th century, Rachel’s tale follows the exploits of ex-pat English nobleman, Henry Rockcliff, who has been content to live in self-imposed exile in France for nearly a decade until his former army commander asks him to investigate a series of mysterious shipwrecks in his native England. During his undercover investigations, Henry encounters Emelia Seaton, an unconventional young lady who prefers physics and archery over dancing and fashion. Together they must join forces if they are to solve this sparkling Regency mystery!
Emelia Seaton has lived a quiet life in the seaside hamlet of Collington, England. She’s anything but a conventional young lady; studying physics and mathematics for fun, and spending hours practicing her archery skills in every weather condition.
Her carefully-constructed world is thrown into chaos, however, when two handsome men arrive in town. Edwin, her childhood best friend, has come home, and is making her blush in ways he never did when they were children. And Henry, the mysterious stranger, who wants to install a Fresnel lens in the town lighthouse.
