Feeling Cozy?

August 5, 2022

My first mystery series launches November 2nd with the first book in the Shop ‘Round the World series, A Santa Stabbing. Pre Order the ebook now. Print will be available closer to November. Shop ‘Round the World is a cozy mystery series, meaning there is no graphic or gory violence on the page, and any romance is sweet. Angel Warren, a retired Navy pilot, certainly has a romantic interest in Nate, the silver fox barista at Latte Love,  Stonebridge, PA’s coffee shop. But this is a murder mystery, which means a dead body! Interested? Check out this excerpt.

Are you a reviewer, blogger, or podcaster? ARCs for A Santa Stabbing are available. Contact me with your request.

More news, and a newsletter featuring a special invitation, soon. Sign up for both my site news (what you’re reading now) and my newsletter (arrives in your email). Don’t miss the cozy fun to come! Stay cool!

Two New Books for Spring

The biggest news to date is that I’ll have my cozy mystery debut in November. Be the first to get the pre-order links and all the details about how and why I’ve made a genre pivot by signing up for my newsletter.

I have something very special planned for my first cozy mystery release and I can’t wait to share more as the big day nears. Stay tuned for more.

2022 Preview

January 6, 2022

If you subscribe to my newsletter you already know the latest and greatest from my writing desk, and that I have 3 new books in 2002.

Stalking Coltons Family is an April release, and available for pre-order now. Don’t miss another installment of the always thrilling Coltons, of which I’ve written several books.

Stranded in the Mountains is an inspirational suspense set in pristine Newfoundland-Labrador, Canada. It was a joy to be able to tell the story of a World War II B-17 pilot who served as a WASP, and was the granddaughter of the heroine. Preorder here.

Lastly, my very first cozy mystery will release in November from Tule Publishing–details soon! For now, know that it involves the quintessential Pennsylvania town, Christmas, and murder. 🙂

A Blessed, Peaceful 2022 to all.
