Writing News

I'm closing in on the final edits for On the Take in Waikiki, the next McKenna Trouble in Paradise mystery. The other really great news for me was that my cover designer, whose family had been impacted by Covid-19, returned to work this week. As usual, I think she did a fabulous job and I'm delighted to say the book is now available for preorder on Amazon.

Once I've finished the final edits for the McKenna book, I'll be back on the job for the next Seaside Cove Mystery. Look for that one in the spring.

That's it for now—stay safe and mask up!
