The Mystery of the Bones LIVE

The fourth and final installment in the Snow & Winter series—The Mystery of the Bones, is live! Thank you to everyone who has read and supported me over the last four years as this series slowly chugged along. You all mean the world to me. I do hope you'll stick around for the next adventure I'll be releasing in early 2020!

Blurb: It’s been a full year since the mystery that brought antique shop owner and part-time amateur sleuth Sebastian Snow together with NYPD homicide detective Calvin...

Retrospect: The Mystery of the Bones

Welcome to the final retrospect of the Snow & Winter series! If you're just coming into the posts, you can visit the previous titles here at: Nevermore, Curiosities, and Moving Image. I suppose this isn't technically a retrospect, as The Mystery of the Bones is actually releasing next Tuesday, but I want to give the conclusion of Sebastian and Calvin's lives the same send off. So without further ado, let's dive into this whirlwind!

Man... now that I'm really staring at THE END, what is the...

Retrospect: The Mystery of the Moving Image

Welcome to the third retrospect post of the Snow & Winter series! If you missed the first two, you can find Nevermore and Curiosities at these links. This is my first complete, published series that has been with me from the beginning of my professional journey. I wanted to see Sebastian off properly after all the mysteries and murders we've been through together!

Moving Image was, in a sense, the easiest of the four books to write. I have a BFA in film production, with an emphasis on dire...

August Reads

The writing schedule is getting back on track here at Chez Poe! I've still found some time to enjoy a number of re-reads though, these titles by my go-to author for laughs and feel-good hangovers. Below are the BookBub links to my reviews, but they're also mirrored on Goodreads if you prefer that site.

Retrospect: The Mystery of the Curiosities

We are now in September, which means The Mystery of the Bones inches ever closer to release! Because Snow & Winter is my first published series to be concluded, and what really set off my professional career as an author, I thought it would be nice to take a look back at the previous titles and share some of the history behind the finished products. For those of you joining the discussion for the first time, you can find Retrospect: The Mystery of Nevermore here.

Like most of my books, if...

Retrospect: The Mystery of Nevermore

In less than a month is the release of The Mystery of the Bones and with it, the conclusion of the Snow & Winter series. My first complete, published series, in fact! I wanted to take a moment to look back on each of the previous titles and give Sebastian, the most fun and yet most difficult character I've written to date, a proper sendoff. Thank you for joining me!

The very first attempts at this story are from 2012. At his core, Sebastian still very much resembles those early musings. A...

Southernmost Murder, my standalone mystery-romance about a quirky historian and his FBI Special Agent boyfriend, is now available in audio! Narrated by the very talented Wyatt Baker—celebrate Friday with Aubrey and Jun on the streets of tropical Key West.

Blurb: Aubrey Grant lives in the tropical paradise of Old Town, Key West, has a cute cottage, a sweet moped, and a great job managing the historical property of a former sea captain. With his soon-to-be-boyfriend, hotshot...
