Mariposa Oracle: Queen City Licensed Massage Therapist

This, the first novella in the Mariposa Oracle series, is the kickoff to Mariposa's often hilarious real-life adventures. Laid off from her job as an online producer, Mariposa enters the world of "e;skin"e; quite by accident or by divine intervention. Never intending to use her massage license professionally, life has other things in mind. She ends up buying a massage business in the Queen City (Charlotte, NC) just as the state implements regulation of massage. But, Mariposa has never run a business. She has never even given a professional massage. Mariposa Oracle's first year of business ownership shows how crisis and intense stress can be a healing opportunity in disguise in this historical fiction meets memoir reveal with an upbeat vibe mixed with can-do grit. Offering often little-known details about the licensed massage industry, the novella is part confession and part insider's guide to massage - everything you wanted to know, didn't want to know - and more.
