The King’s Jewel World – Marywood University

This Catholic liberal arts university, located in Scranton, PA, is mentioned in The King’s Jewel series as the place where Alexander works. There is even a scene set on the campus in the third book ‘Deaglan’s Deception’. The campus is picturesque, with lush landscaping and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

Interview with Belinda M Gordon, author of “Tressa’s Treasures” What works best for you: Typewriters, fountain pen, dictate, computer or longhand? I tend to use various methods depending on what draft I’m working on. I plot my books longhand using index cards.
