I've always been a reader, though my favorites have changed over the years. I read a lot of mysteries these days, then urban fantasy, and non-fiction. I'm enjoying learning about history. Every now and then I pick up a scifi, and even more rarely a romance.

The transition to writing was a natural thing, I suppose. Sometimes I wonder why it took so long, then I remember how chaotic life can be. Books take us out of ourselves, saves us from boredom and more, and stimulates the mind. I can't imagine a life without them.

Now that I'm haunting the PNW, there's nothing like a good trail, a good book, and nice cup of tea. Here's to keeping us all afloat. ...more

My Girl got a Facelift

My first book, Girl Found, has a new cover. Without further ado, here it is. Audio version is in the works, and a side story, Wendy, (or Legacy of Mara #1.5 if you desire) is in the final stages. Wendy is not part of the core trilogy, but a standalone romance happening within the same world build.

So, here's to new looks!

I enjoyed this, but not as much as the first one. Mulligan has started referring to women as mum. He's not English. The story isn't set in England. Loved the cat. There really isn't an ending. We find out what the problem is. Yes, the cat is there to ...more

I loved this one. Dante, Eleanor, and Charlie are each surprising in their own way. The story follows a solid plot line, the villian gets their comeuppance, and everyone lives happily ever after. Or do they? Guide to Orchid Hunting is up next.

A job that starts out as writing subpoenas ends with Kinsey tracking a killer. I really liked this one. More so than some of the others this story ties up all the loose ends, and we know exactly how she figured it out.
