I’m going to post a number of Chapters from A Trial of One, the third in The Osgoode Trilogy, just to give you a taste. If you like it, and I think you will, you can purchase it at just about any online bookstore.

Why not visit me on my other website, www.authorsden.com/maryemartin where I will start posting some chapters from the third novel in The Osgoode Trilogy, on Monday April 14th. This is so you can try it out before you buy. Also on that site, you will find the first seven or eight chapters of the first two novels in the trilogy, Conduct in Question and Final Paradox. Hope you decide to drop in.
