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!

The detective is a smart-alec who always screws up. He's not quick on the uptake, at all. To compound things, I don't like espionage stories. I made it through, but it wasn't my thing. ...more

It's a cozy. Rosett is a solid writer. This character is dense for a globe-trotting woman solving murders. Not liking this series as much as I did the high society lady detective. She has several series. I may move on to another. ...more
