Sale: Snow & Winter series

The entire Snow & Winter series is on sale until Friday, September 20, in celebration of National Forensics Week! Sure, Sebastian Snow is a meddlesome sleuth who defies the rules, but Homicide detective Calvin Winter and Crime Scene Unit detective Neil Millett both put up with this colorblind antique dealer's antics because they love him. (Or don't—depends on who you ask.) So I decided to show Calvin and Neil some love with a good sale!

Open internationally and with all vendors, pick up any (or a...

Status Update: Hudson River Homicides

I’ve cancelled both of the 2024 pre-orders (Magic & Steam 4 and Memento Mori 4) with the simple reason being: the looming deadlines for submitting pre-orders weren’t conducive to producing the quality writing my readers know and have come to expect.

I’ve been recovering from creative burnout for the last year, which led me to trashing the original (and half finished) manuscripts to both books mentioned above because they weren’t up to my storytelling standards. Unfortunately, those decisions put ...

9 Year Publishing Anniversary

It's that time again—my many reasons to celebrate with whiskey and cupcakes! June holds a lot of joy for me. It's Pride month, it's my birthday month (37 this year!), but it's also my publishing anniversary month.
