This gift of storytelling has been passed on to Tammy, a teacher, a playwright, and Director and Diversity Trainer for an international organization.

Bengal 1837. Is the Thugee cult myth or reality? "There are shades of Heart of Darkness, sly references to Conan Doyle, that bring brilliantly to life the India of the 1830s with its urban squalor, glamorous princely courts and bazaars, and the ambiguous presence of the British overlords. Carter's impeccable research and character depictions leave you craving more of Blake and Avery. |
