New Book in the Works
O am currently working on the next book in the Spotlight Sleuth series, but it’s going a little slower than I planned. Lots of stuff happened between Christmas and the end of February that totally disrupted my writing plans. But I’m getting back to schedule now. I am excited about the storyline. The cover is gorgeous and fits right in with the rest of the series.
The other thing I am working on gradually is to upgrade the prequel novella I have featured here and offer it on Amazon. The KU will be free, the ebook at 99 cents, and the paperback at about $9.99.
Available now!
The first three books are available NOW on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
What people are saying:
… From the setting to the protagonist, the mystery and the suspects, this book nails it. A thoroughly enjoyable who-done-it that drops plenty of crumbs, but keeps you guessing til the end. …
… Anyone who likes a mystery, even if you normally wouldn’t read paranormal! The characters are engaging and fun and kept me turning the pages …
Isla is a great character with a sharp wit. The plot is engaging and the writing excellent.
AUDIO Books
Two of the Spotlight Sleuth are available in Amazon audio. This is an AI voice and not the greatest one I’ve heard, but I’m hoping Amazon improves their selections and upgrades them to the more animated ones available. But if you don’t mind a non-acted version, the books are on the web site and for Kindle Unlimited.
A Drowning in the Maze, a Halloween murder mystery released on October 22nd. It is available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. The audio is not available yet.

Read my latest BLOG posts. I am posting several articles on Figure Skating, tracing its origins to the present. This sport has evolved so much, it’s hard to believe. I’ve been fortunate to have seen a good portion of the advancements, but you might be surprised at how much and how it happened.
