Welcome!
HELLO!
Welcome you to my website. I’m the author of eight books, both literary fiction and literary mystery. My novels are published by 4am Books.
As promised, the summer of 2021 brings my newest novel, Every Cloud, to the forefront. It is available for purchase and was a complete joy to write. The characters kept me entertained, so important when I begin my writing day at four in the morning! Every Cloud is a work in the family drama genre. The story begins with four adult children coming home for the summer, each with their own unique problem. Will they lean on each other or bear the burden alone as they angle for those elusive silver linings? They are slippery little things. Read more about Every Cloud here.
I am deep into writing the fifth Wrenn Grayson Mystery. Wrenn tackles an assignment that is both personal and dangerous. The historian is forced to make difficult decisions that affect many of her new friends. The question at this point is whether this mystery will see a late 2021 or an early 2022 release. I will post an answer to that question on my homepage in the upcoming months.
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, character lists for all my mysteries, and four free short stories. My best-selling novel, Wild Raspberries, is 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.
Please make use of my website. From here, you can purchase my books, send me a message, and take a look at maps of Havens, Ohio, the town I created for the Wrenn Grayson Mystery series.
I recommend signing up for my newsletter. It provides many more insights into the writing life, as well as advance notice of new releases and opportunities for free eBook downloads. Remember, you can read for free on Kindle Unlimited and through KOLL.
Nice meeting you and thanks for stopping by.
