Her enigmatic life and fate were ever intertwined with Harry Houdini
RALEIGH, N.C. - s4story -- Regal House Publishing announces its new publication Margery and Me by Maryka Biaggio. Maryka Biaggio is an award-winning novelist specializing in historical fiction based on real people. She loves unearthing the stories of people overlooked by history and bringing them back to life. She prides herself on carefully researching the period and people and providing readers with an immersive experience.
About Margery and Me
In the 1920s, Margery Crandon captivated both Boston society and psychic researchers with her astonishing séances. Margery's abilities earned her the admiration of luminaries, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Butler Yeats. But one man stood in opposition: Harry Houdini, the legendary magician, who was determined to expose her as a fraud. Margery and Me tells the true story of the medium who mystified scientists, challenged skeptics, and sparked a sensation across America and Europe. As Houdini and Margery clashed in a battle of wits and wills, the question remained: Could the master illusionist unmask her, or would her extraordinary powers be enough to convert even the most resolute of doubters?

Praise for Margery and Me
"In nineteenth-century Boston, socialite Mina Crandon, a charming young wife and ambitious clairvoyant, has accidentally summoned her dead brother Walter to a séance. Walter is a talker and once he's got an audience, he's on a mission to make his sister rich and famous. In this highly enjoyable excursion among the spookists, the term 'Ghostwriter' gets a breathtaking workout..is a wry, lively, and wicked-good novel."
— Valerie Martin, Winner of the Kafka and Britain's Women's Prize, author of The Ghost of the Mary Celeste
"...a spellbinding dive into the glittering yet shadowy world of 1920s spiritualism and the enigmatic life of Margery, the era's most notorious psychic. With meticulous historical detail, this novel brings to life the electrifying world of flapper-era Boston, where the lines between science and superstition are blurred and séances captivate both the curious and the skeptical. Both entertaining and heartbreaking…a masterfully told story of ambition, love, and the haunting cost of chasing the beyond. I will think about this novel for a long time."
