It saddens me that a landmark of the city of Birmingham was torn down last year. However, I am so glad that several years ago when I created the character of the mysterious Blackie D'Angelo for Book 2 in The Blanchard Witches series, PRODIGAL DAUGHTERS, I made her home Quinlan Castle. It was a fitting residence for the character. Quinlan Castle has shown up in subsequent books since and even though the city may have demolished it, the iconic castle lives on in my books. Built in 1927, it was such a beautiful structure through the years, but neglect, decay, and erosion brought it to a state where it was not salvageable.

Demolition began in January 2022 and in a matter of days it was gone. But in the fictional landscape of THE BLANCHARD WITCHES, Quinlan Castle still stands.
