Juniper Grove Continues!
It’s been a while since my last Juniper Grove cozy mystery, but finally book 11, Still as Death, is available for preorder on Amazon.

I love that feeling, and I hope my readers share it, that they feel as though they’re taking a vacation in that friendly (if dangerous!) place whenever the read one of the books. Book description: Rachel, Julia, and other members of Juniper Grove’s crafts fair committee are enjoying a fun evening at Read more...
