    I was born in Portugal far more years ago than I like to admit to, in a -- then very small -- place called Granja (lugar da Granja -- lugar possibly transtating roughly as hamlet -- but literally translating as "place") in the freguesia (allegiance/fiefdom) of Aguas-Santas (Holy Waters) in the Conselho (council) of Maia in the district of Porto.

    All those designations are changed now, but as I like to tell people I grew up somewhere between Elizabethan England and Victorian England with just a little of the twentieth century thrown in.

    This might be exaggerating -- not much -- but the truth is that I did go to a village school and learn to write with a quill pen. Though I used ballpoint pens at home. I penned my first "novel" with ballpoint at around the age of six. And since it was pretty easy -- all twenty pages of Enid Blyton rip-off -- I abandoned what I (by then) suspected was an unattainable aspiration of becoming an angel when I grew up. I decided instead to be a novelist.

    Once this was decided, of course, it didn't take all that long at all. Only some... cough... twenty years, during which I acquired a degree from the University of Porto (where we didn't use quill pens), found that employment for English majors was at best scant, moved to the US, changed my name, got married, worked at a variety of jobs from multilingual translator to retail clerk, had two kids and a varying and scary number of cats and read far more than is good for any human being.

    So, now I live in Colorado with my husband, two teen sons who are both taller and stronger -- and far more handsome -- than I and four indoor cats, plus a variety of Not-Our-Cats(tm) who beg food at the kitchen door and for whom we provide facilities summer and winter. But who are not... cough... our cats. Ever.

    I've been telling lies for fun and profit since 1994 (I did it for free long before that.)

    Some fun and different take on the 3 musketeers. The author makes them more real to the reader than the Dumas story. You learn more about them as men.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Addition to a Fantastic Series!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2010
    What a fabulous addition to the Musketeer's Mysteries! Definitely a must read for fans of Dumas and the Musketeers, and more so for fans of the other books in the series! Remember, though, this is the world *Dumas* invented: there will be coincidences, reversals, drama, intrigue, and all the things that we think of with the words "The Three Musketeers". Read, have fun, read again, have even more fun!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Strike Thr... well ok maybe this wasn't so bad
    Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Honesty compels me to state this wasn't quite as abysmal as the first two books. The Author seems to have stopped competing with Alexandre Dumas and settled into telling her own story.

    I think she still relies much to heavily on the back story but this offering toned it way down.

    All in all if you have read the first two books this may be worth your money. If you haven't...

    This was bought as a gift for my wife. She says that it's an imaginative use of the Musketeer mythos. A very good read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The fifth good fun Musketeers spin-off by this entertaining writer
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 9, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    The fifth good fun Musketeers spin-off by this entertaining writer. Be prepared as her musketeers aren't quite the same as in the books but they are all heroic and all have hidden secrets in their lives or their families are in trouble.... These musketeers continually find themselves having to solve frustrating but entertaining mysteries, which they eventually manage to do. Recommended.
