The Fixers have arrived!

 It's here. You've probably heard. Kindle Vella, the new serialized fiction service from Amazon. You can read one episode, if you like it, keep on reading. As an author, it's really a lot of fun. Almost like sharing a work in progress with you all. 

So I've jumped in with all my fingers on this one. It's called The Fixers. From a short story I wrote called Imperfectly Brewed. The story continues, as they say.

A woman's newfound peace and solitude is put to the test when she discovers her local cafe is a hub of intrigue and danger, and she's being cast in the starring role.

The Fixers




You'll find it online or using the Kindle Vella app.


Enjoy!

New Book Release!

Phantom of Execution Rocks promo


Phantom of Execution Rocks is available now! And readers are chiming in. I'm grateful for the feedback and thankful for the kind words!

"An excellent read. A solid story, well written and completely engaging. A delightful mix of historical mystery and love story that draws the reader in." Maggie M.

"The writing is smooth and it is easy to stay with twists and turns of the mystery as it unfolds. Once you pick it up, you will not put it down." Amazon Reviewer

This is a fictionalized narrative of what may have happened centuries ago on the North Shore of Long Island. Between slave-traders and abolitionists. Between the patriots and traitors. And how it all circles back to a 21st century couple grappling with the horrors of the past, family secrets and their own scars of the past.

Enjoy!

The Ladies of Luckland have found their home! 

I started this blog as a journal for an aspiring author diving into the world of self-publishing.

Without a doubt I am thrilled and awed at how far I've travelled on that road. 

But life is full of curve-balls. And it's with incredible joy that I share the news that my journey as an author is taking an enormous leap. The Luckland Ladies Mystery Series is going to be published by Scarsdale Publishing. 

Stay tuned for all the news that's fit to print about our favorite rabble-rousers as they reveal their decades of secrets and lies. 

Their life of Mystery and Mayhem. Their tales of lost love and second chances.

In the town where nothing is sacred and everything is everyone else's business.

And while you wait, don't forget All About Annie and The Christoph Curse are now on Kindle Unlimited!
