Dear Friends and Readers, 

​

Welcome to my new website. Here you will find all my books, upcoming titles, and musings about making the former. My genre is Mystery, Historical (or near), and—you guessed it—Historical Mystery. I love writing, but more so, I love sharing my stories with others. However, starting my writing career so late in life has left me struggling to do the things most new authors do to be successful. Namely, marketing. 

​

As some of you may already know, I am looking after my husband. He’s doing great, thanks for asking, but this responsibility makes it hard for me as an Author. I’m lucky to have found a publisher that is willing to put in the extra marketing time to support me, but I also ask my friends, family, and fans to help where they can by mentioning my books to others and encouraging them to do the same.

​

Only if you enjoy my books, of course. 

​

Every comment, review on Amazon or other retailer; every email and tweet is greatly appreciated, and I revel in the opportunity to start a conversation with you, whether about something in one of my stories or about your own struggles with working toward your dreams (no matter how old the world tells you you’re getting). 

​

So peruse my website, read my blog, and make yourself known! And don’t forget to join my mailing list to get the first 8 chapters of my book, No Straight Thing, for free. If you like it please buy, and if you don’t, then no harm done. 

​

As a member of my mailing list you will be the first to get updates and news, coupons for discounts, free book samples, and unpublished shorts stories and poems. Plus, take part in fun contests and puzzles! 

​

Thanks for your time, and I hope you enjoy your stay.
