Welcome to fall, ya’ll! I can finally say that with confidence, not because of the date on the calendar, but because we down here in The Big Easy had our first breath of cool air. Hallelujah!

I have big news to share—my new novel is done and sent off to both editor and agent. It’s very much a psychological suspense, with twists, turns and a surprise ending. I particularly love the relationship between the hero on heroine, and the novel’s surprise setting.

Why a surprise, you ask? In this one I strayed from my beloved New Orleans, setting it in the fictional town of Tranquility Bluffs, Wisconsin. Yes, you read that right. Wisconsin! I fought it, I really did. But I couldn’t get this one image, and the line that went with it, out of my head:

Dark red creeping across brilliant white.

I’ll let you ponder that as the ghouls groan and the skeletons rattle . . . .


Happy Halloween! And may all your reads be thrilling!
