AKA Mary Deasy. I spoke too soon in my last post when I said I had no interest in opening her books again. Along with her real name, Wikipedia also informs me that Clare Darcy’s novels have all been translated into German, which means I might very well be reading them again. I will learn useful German terms for “sarcenet,” “gudgeon,” and “barouche landau” to add to “rapier,” “wand,” “robes,” and “iron filings” (YA fantasy).
