He was caught peering into a neighbor girl's bedroom window one night, and either the girl or her dad recognized him as a local store employee. Shortly thereafter, he disappeared. I can recall whispers among the parents that were hushed as children approached. I always wondered about his mysterious disappearance. (less)

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Of course, I would have to explore every nook and cranny in the building, take in a quidditch game, and eat at one of the great feasts. Next, I would chat with Harry, Dumbledore, and every professor, before strolling down "Diagon Alley." There, I'd purchase a broom and wand, then have Potter and Granger teach me how to use them.
Fun question! Thanks!(less)

New Release! MAZE OF DEADLY DECEPTION (with author's fun anecdote)

I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest book in the Darla Kelly series, MAZE OF DEADLY DECEPTION. I truly hope you enjoy it, and if so, will tell your friends or leave a review. And I'd also like to share with my readers a fun anecdote that few know, unless you tend to read "acknowledgments" first. Even then, you'd miss the fun details about how the cover photo was created.
