Podcast: Download (Duration: 35:09 — 32.2MB)

In this episode 299, we visit with Sandra L. Young, author of “Divine Vintage,” a novel where vintage clothes reveal what the ghosts who wore them want the world to know.

Tess Burton is always up for an adventure, and she’s risked her inheritance to launch Divine Vintage clothing boutique. While modeling an elegant gown from an Edwardian trousseau, her mind is opened to a century-old murder. Visions—seen through the eyes of the murdered bride—dispute local lore that claims the bridegroom committed the crime, causing Tess and her new friend Trey Dunmore to use the clothes to try to right the perceived wrong.

Catherine Lanigan, international bestselling author, says this about the book: “In Divine Vintage, Sandra Young walks us back into time to a murder/suicide mystery in 1913 that will keep the reader as spellbound as the lovely vintage clothing the author so adroitly describes. Well-written and woven with enough sensual tension to strum any romantic’s heartstrings, I give Divine Vintage FIVE STARS.”

About the Author:

Sandra L. Young’s love of vintage fashion inspired her to write her debut novel, Divine Vintage. She’s researched and gathered an impressive collection spanning the late 1800s to 1980s, wearing pieces onstage through years of performing in community theater. She also sports it out on the town for special occasions.

To round out her love of the arts, Sandra sings with a trio, a praise band, and at karaoke nights. She draws from these experiences in her writing, as well as her work focus in communications and nonprofit management.

More Praise for the book:

Ms. Young has penned a wonderfully romantic mystery featuring a sleuth with the ability to see into the past using vintage clothing. The characters are delightful, and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!”

– Gayle Leeson, author of the Ghostly Fashionista Mystery Series

“What a wonderful, enjoyable read! Debut author Sandra Young whisks readers away on a journey filled with romance, style and murder. Divine Vintage is a timeless love story (in a dual timeline) entwined with a whodunnit that has haunted a family for centuries.

From Michigan City to Paris, in both past and present, Young hooks and dazzles the reader with compelling characters navigating new love while grappling with an intriguing family mystery, and more importantly – how they solve it.”

– Rob Samborn, author of The Prisoner of Paradise
