Moonlight and Murder
Moonlight and Murder
A murder with no evidence.
A witness shifting from hunted to hunter.
What price would you pay for vengeance?
A Critical Tangent
Keiki Tallerman’s life is shattered on a remote mountaintop in Pennsylvania when her drone captures video of her best friend’s bizarre murder.
Experience has taught her good reason to not trust the police, especially when detectives hard-wired for justice come knocking on her door. Their suspicions narrow when her second friend disappears without a trace from their small urban community.
Detective Nolan Garnett investigates a disturbing crime scene where gossamer threads of logic lead him to a deep, dark labyrinth of cunning subterfuge and misdirection surrounding a young coed tech prodigy.
Unable to piece the evidence together, he’s torn between following the letter of the law and protecting the amateur sleuth determined to clear her name. Add a large dose of mutual attraction and sparks fly.
Fate decrees they work together when the killer selects his next victim. Keiki.
Pivotal Decisions
She carries a gun for a living…
But never expected to become a target.
On an early morning hike in a secluded section of the Everglades, Sabine Guidry discovers her childhood friend sitting by one of the numerous canals.
The only problem is - he’s dead.
A note attached to his shirt declares him the first of many, unless she finds and returns a technological prototype. Her duties in Florida’s FWC demands facing all sorts of slithering and ravenous creatures, but the most dangerous by far are the two-footed varieties.
Six years ago, Detective Coyote Waylin left the southern beaches for the wilds of Pennsylvania’s mountains and small town living, but a call from his estranged brother forces him to return south to face a vengeful killer in a twisted game of cat and mouse.
Facing impossible odds, Coyote and Sabine wade through lies, betrayal, and deception while skirting the long-term infatuation threatening to derail them at every turn.
Seeds of Murder
Witness Darby Loughlin shifts from hunted to hunter in this spine-chilling thriller of murder, greed, and romance.
On a secluded mountaintop, Darby Loughlin witnesses her mentor’s death during an afternoon hike. It’s murder. She knows it but has no proof. The killer isn’t present, nor does he leave traceable evidence.
Teaming up with former police officer turned private investigator Nick Tucker is a distraction and unwelcome necessity. Unfortunately, she lacks the skills and tools needed to trace the camouflaged assassin.
Straddling the law has never been a problem since her moral compass points true north. This time, however, she must work with authorities to gain insight into a world to which she doesn’t belong.
As the snarl of lies and deceptions unfold, Darby and her K9 partner struggle to stay ahead of the killer who’s selected her as his next victim.

Mixed Review…Love the Author
These books had intriguing plots and a group of likable characters, but the errors and typos diminished my enjoyment as a reader. In addition, the Kindle version of the ebooks had a glitch in numbering the pages. Without these problems, I would have chosen a higher rating for this talented author.

Great Read
Loved how the first book moved smoothly through the others continuing and incorporating new characters. All of the fur babies makes me want one of my own. I have already recommended this series to my sisters daughter-in-law. Hope she will enjoy it as much as I did.

An amazing psychological thriller series with a paranormal twist. An edge of your seat read from beginning to end with some romance thrown in the mix

Enjoyed
While the writing felt somewhat disjointed or in need of more detail, the story lines, suspense and characters kept me reading on to the finish. Minor editing errors.
