It's been a little while since I've had a book released into the world, but I'm delighted to say that this hiatus is almost at an end. At the tail of this year (Dec 29th, to be exact), my debut historical mystery: OLIVE BRIGHT, PIGEONEER will be out!

One part cozy mystery, one part historical fiction, OLIVE is about a young British woman's quest to make a difference in the war effort on the homefront in World War II. With a little humor, a little (a very little) romance, and a lot of quirky characters, it's not so very different from my earlier books. Except that there's a dead body...

Kirkus called it, "A delightful classic village mystery studded with little-known World War II facts: a promising series debut." In addition, OLIVE has garnered advance praise from some truly wonderful authors:

“Olive Bright, Pigeoneer is fresh, original, and sure to enchant. An absolute winner!”
—Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author of A Murderous Relation

“Written in the spirit of the best classic mysteries...a marvelous read.”
— Tasha Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of In the Shadow of Vesuvius

“Inspired by little known facts of World War II, Graves brings us a fresh, quirky, and charming new heroine.”
— Susan Elia Macneal, New York Times bestselling author of the Edgar-nominated Maggie Hope series

I hope you enjoy it!
