About this author

I grew up reading both Trixie Belden mysteries and Vogue magazine and learned how to spot a counterfeiting ring and accessorize a wardrobe. When it was time to find a career I headed out to the mall...and nine years later was a buyer for one of the top luxury stores in the country.

Book 2 in the Mad for Mod Mystery Series, featuring mid-century modern interior decorator Madison Night and her interest in all things Doris Day, comes out July 30! This time Madison has her hands full with a lover from her past, a mysterious five thousand dollar bill, and amurdered numismatist. (Not to mentionbachelor Lt. Tex Allen and handyman Hudson James.)
