Thanks for joining me!
I’m delighted to have you along for the ride. Each month I’ll send updates about the joy and struggle of salvaging an old mining claim in the Rockies and related (mis)adventures, plus stories of the women who made the West and the unsolved mysteries that inspire my writing.
The latest book news
Up to Her Neck, a midlife thriller with a little romance and family drama, will be out January 2027 from Empress Editions.
My publisher calls it, “a sharp, funny mystery about second chances, small-town secrets, and starting over when everything is on the line — perfect for readers who love smart heroines, midlife reinvention, and twists that keep coming until the final page.”
