HELLO!
Welcome you to my website. I’m the author of both literary fiction and literary mystery. My novels are published by 4am Books.
I'm excited about the release of my tenth mystery in the award-winning Wrenn Grayson Series. In Black Orchids Hotel, Wrenn Grayson is the archivist for Foundling Historical Society and Museum. The Foundling mansion is selected for an exclusive Lazarus Mystery Weekend excursion and masterfully converted to Black Orchids Hotel. Wrenn and eight other guests are challenged to solve whatever mystery is placed before them and all before the clock strikes a quarter till midnight.
Feel free to look around my website. You’ll find the many extras I provide my readers. These downloadable extras include the first chapters from all my novels and several free short stories. All of my novels are now available on Audible. I’m pleased to offer this option for those who prefer to have the story read to them. I personally love the audio edition of books.
