Writing News

Big things are happening in my little corner of the writing world! First up, I’m thrilled to announce that The Case of the Amorous Assailant, the first mystery in the Beachtown Detective Agency series, is officially in production as an audiobook. Soon, you'll be able to listen to Jade's first case, complete with snarky suspects and slippery clues, while you walk the dog, drive to work, or even fold laundry. Stay tuned for more details—I’ll keep you posted on the release date!

On the Seaside Cove front, the 9th Bed & Breakfast Mystery is steadily coming together, and this one hits close to home for Rick, Marquetta, and Alex. A dead body turns up at the construction site for their new house, sending the father-daughter detective duo into a whirlwind of chaos, secrets, and small-town drama. Will they survive construction nightmares and unravel the truth? You’ll just have to wait and see. More updates coming soon!
