2025 UPDATE
In July, my first book in a new mystery series was published. The Mudflats Murder Club's release was so successful, the publisher quickly contacted my agent and contracted for an additional 4 books. What was to be a 4-book series is now 8 books. The second novel in the series, A Killer in the Cordgrass, comes out Feb 2026. Writing, enjoying a lousy golf game, and a variety of volunteer activities keeps me busy.
ORIGINAL: I write a mystery series featuring a homicide detective. RED LINE was published Aug 2015, THRILL KILL Aug 2016, and SHALLOW GRAVE Jul 2017. In 2015, we moved to Sun City Hilton Head (South Carolina) and love it.
