My Fave Reads of 2018

I always like seeing what my favorite authors are reading, and I figured my readers might enjoy knowing the kinds of books that stood out to me in 2018. I read pretty widely, although I’ve focused more on cozy mysteries this year, since I’m currently writing book three of a 3-book cozy series that’ll start releasing in June 2019 (the… Read More

The (Not So) Lazy Days of Summer

Just figured I should check in with a blogpost since it’s been AGES! I am looking forward to being able to share more with you about my upcoming cozy mystery series that will be releasing starting in June 2019, but in the meantime, I’ve been working hard to finish the first three books in it. Summer hasn’t been slow for me–in fact,… Read More

The Message in a Bottle Blog Hop & Giveaway–Stop 2

Flames lapped at the monk’s robes. He raced down the corridors that crackled with the collision of dampness and heat, dodging fire-lit debris. So this was to be the end, then. The night the stones of Ballyfir Monastery would tell their last tale… So begins the tale of a humble monk, his unwavering courage, and the bronze bottle he sends… Read More

To celebrate the upcoming release of Forest Child, I wanted to do something extra special–I wanted to give away books from authors I love and mention all the time.

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many things—good and bad as any state is—but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people “came back” to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you don’t want to let go of. I’m a #mountainmama, and I’m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
