New Year’s resolutions have been made and broken (I don’t make them, do you? Too much pressure!). 2026 is here, and I’m hopeful for all of us this coming year. The best way I know to celebrate is with STORY! And I have at least two books coming your way this year, and possibly a re-release of several old favorites. The next book I have for you will arrive with the balmy breeze of summer, on June 30. Unexpected Threat is Book 2 in my Cascade Confidential series and available for pre-order now. It’s the first suspense I’ve written with a child and I swear I poured my mama heart onto the page.

Ahhh the thought of splashing into cold water certainly sounds lovely as we’re enduring a heatwave in North America. For me this means lots of reading time on our patio either early or later in the day, avoiding the highest temperatures. I have the perfect summertime reading for you!

But before we get to that, this is your gentle reminder that my brand new series is launching in September.

Preorder is available now for  Agent Under Wraps, Book One in the Cascade Confidential series.

My upcoming release, Agent Under Wraps, is Book One in the Cascade Confidential series, and preorder is available now.

Read | Buy

Insider tip: so far, five books are planned for this series which I’m having a ball writing (currently writing Book 2). I know that September 30 feels a long way off, but in my experience I’ve never regretted any book I’ve preordered. I’ve certainly regretted “missing” the launch of a new series, and needing to read a book or two before I “get” to read the latest release. So please, pre-order now! 🙂

Why get my newsletter?  If you’re interested in reading an excerpt, sign up for my newsletter so that you’ll get the first sneak peek when I put it on my site. I always try to pick an excerpt that is not the same as the standard chapter one excerpt you’ll find on retail sites, so trust me, it’s worth the effort to sign up.

Fun tidbit:  I’m working a YouTube channel for your viewing and listening pleasure. Be sure to follow me on YouTube so that you don’t miss my debut video release, date TBD.

Gifting season is almost here and if you’re like me, a great many of your friends and family are voracious readers. There’s no better gift than a signed copy of a delicious new book to curl up with. I have two mystery series that are wonderful for gifting!

Available Now: First up, the Shop ‘Round the World series featuring retired Navy pilot Angel Warren and her delightful cast of family, friends, dogs, cats, and her beloved parrot, Ralph (who also solves murders). All three books are available now and can be read in any order, but may I suggest book one, A Santa Stabbing, as your top pick for gifting? The cover is most holiday-ish.

Read | Buy

Like some Buffalo (wing) heat with your murder? The Kielbasa Queen mystery series features Lydia Wienewski, the Polish American baker and often butcher who solves murders in 1980s Cheektowaga (Buffalo) New York. No disco ball is spared as this comical yet most intelligent duo figure out cases that stump Detective Harry Nowicki (Grandma’s heartthrob). Fans of Rizzoli and Isles will love Lydia and Grandma’s banter, and Matlock fans will adore Grandma Mary.  My dream actor for Grandma Mary? Christine Baranski, of course! Start with book one, The Kielbasa Killer.

Don’t Miss Out: I have special news about 2025 that my newsletter subscribers will be the first to hear. Make sure you’re signed up.
