Good Day PA Interview
Good Day PA is a daily lifestyle program that airs every day on ABC27 in Central Pennsylvania. I had the pleasure of talking with the host, Amy Kehm, about Roadside Homicide and A Fatal Fumble. You can watch the full interview on their website.
Book Review: Sex, Murder & a Double Latte
Sex, Murder & a Double Latte by Kyra Davis is the most fun I’ve had reading a murder mystery in a long time. It’s also part rom com. (When available, I use Amazon affiliate links and may earn a commission.) Sex, Murder & a Double Latte has so many clues, twists, and turns that I […]
My Books Aren’t for Everyone, And That’s OK
There’s also been a lot of talk on Bookstagram (the book community on Instagram) about the LGBTQIA community because several Bookstagrammers posted their anti-LGBTQIA sentiments in their posts and their profiles. My books are inclusive because I want them to reflect the world we live in, which includes people of color and people in the […]

Book Review: Fries and Alibis
Fries and Alibis is a hilarious cozy mystery by Trixie Silvertale, chock full of all your favorite cozy mystery tropes. You’ve got a main character as a suspect, a bookstore inheritance, a handscome sheriff, a smarty-pants pet, and a ghost. I mean, what else could you ask for? And the dialog and writing, which is […]

Lancaster Loves Local Authors Fest
I was so thrilled to be part of the first local author fest at Pocket Books Shop. The authors fest celebrated writers from Lancaster and the wider Susquehanna Valley. My table was set up on their sweeping porch, and I spent the hour chatting with customers, selling and signing books. I also met other local […]
Hancock County Art Hop Wrap-Up
The Hancock County Art Hop was a big success. I met many new readers and sold more copies of my books than I expected. Being back in my old stomping grounds was such a delight. My table was set up in the Millsop Community Center, where I spent a chunk of my childhood at all-nighters […]

Rebranding: Always Trust Your Gut
Here’s a lesson in going with your gut instinct. A Bitter Swill to Swallow, my paranormal mystery, isn’t selling as well as my other books. I suspect that’s because I’m marketing it all wrong. Here’s what happened: I originally bought a book cover, and I had a title, and then I dumped them because I […]
