About the Book

BOOK 1: Miranda Warning
When Tess looks into a decades-old death to help her friend, she digs up some old ghosts and makes herself the next target…for murder.

Book 2: Trial by Twelve
A skilled killer has returned to Buckneck, West Virginia…a hunter with a unique taste in prey. Even as she sifts through layers of deceit, Tess realizes too late that the killer’s sights have zeroed in on her.

Book 3: Guilt by Association (a 2018 ECPA Christy Award finalist)
When the body of an overdosed teen shows up right next to Tess’ mom’s trailer, the evidence is stacked against her. Tess suspects a setup–but why?

Join this bold married sleuth on her quest for justice today!

“This was the sweetest, funniest, most exciting series I’ve read in a long time. Maybe ever! Such a personal heroine, brave and tough but tender hearted…. though she gets herself in a lot of dangerous situations, her integrity shines through.” ~Reader review

Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an a Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an author panel @bjuedu with authors Jamie Langston Turner and Emily Golus (@worldofvindor) with @inkwellmagazine. What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with. Then got to hang out with my lifelong friend @rachelcohee and her husband and daughter and brunch @grandbohemianlodgegreenville at the Between the Trees restaurant. Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!📚#authorlife #wvauthor
