Writing News

The second Beachtown Detective Agency Mystery has been a bumpy ride to the finish line, but it's finally almost ready. The last edits are in the works, and it’ll be out on November 19th in Kindle and paperback. 

I’m already thinking about the next Seaside Cove Bed & Breakfast mystery. I have a few ideas brewing, but they need some serious work before I start writing. For now, I’m just going to enjoy the holidays and squeeze in some writing time (instead of the other way around, which is usually how it goes).
