Perils for Portents

San Francisco, 1890s
Francie, an entrepreneur, wants to travel the world and make her fortune.
Rooney, her mechanical savant brother, wants to tinker in his uncle’s shop.
Mrs. La Fontaine, the ghost haunting the fortunetelling machine, wants to stay right where she is.
Big Jim, the carnival manager, wants to kill Francie to keep his murderous past a secret.
Not everyone is going to be happy.
But fortunes will be told and, possibly, made.
