Welcome!
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 eighth mystery in the award-winning Wrenn Grayson Series. In Longstretch and Lavender, Wrenn Grayson, archivist for Foundling Historical Society and Museum, unrolls a linen map dated 1879, laying out Summoner Park estate. That year, stained-glass artisan, Thomas Longstretch. lived on the grounds, designing windows for the estate’s small temple-like structure known as a folly. A perplexing mystery picks up from there.
