First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is being hosted by Bibliophile By The Sea-- as it says, you pick a book and post the opening paragraph and see if other people would like to read the book based on its opener.
One of my favorite authors is Elizabeth Peters / Barbara Michaels-- yes, she writes under more than one name. She's one of the very few authors whose works I automatically buy whenever I come across a title I don't have yet, because I know it will be a good, fun read.

The gravestones were black.
Jetty crosses, ebon urns and tablets, sable angels folding sable wings over somber stones. . . A Devil's graveyard, a cemetery of Satanists.
In actual fact, Susan did not find the sight at all sinister. In the mellow summer sunshine, nestled cozily among emerald grass, the black stones had a certain bizarre charm. As Susan looked down on the cemetery she felt not a single premonitory shiver. Which only goes to prove that premonitions, like history, are more or less bunk.
Tantalizing intro! I want to know what happens next!
I've never read this author, but that is a tempting intro!
I'm so sorry I missed this post last week. I had a bad week:(
I am curious to know more.
Thanks for joining in.
