A New Mystery

They say write what you love, and I love a good Agatha Christie story. So I've turned my attention to writing cozy mysteries. My first takes place in the lovely town of Paso Robles, California. Wine country. So of course, my character Rose MacGillivivray loves wine, as I do. OLIVE GROVES AND ALIBIS will release May 1! Mark your calendar and watch for the pre-release link coming shortly.
