Now Available: SNEAK PREVIEW of Book 9!

It really was a gorgeous view. Deep blue water stretching to far-off blue mountains, azure sky without a single cloud, lush, rugged cliffs dropping away to a rocky shore. As I watched, a flock of pelicans soared by. The soft breeze ruffled the water of a pristine swimming pool at the edge of the cliff, carrying with it the sound of the waves, the clink of glasses and murmured voices from the terrace below. A shaft of eastern sunlight caught the edge of the balcony, warming my arm where it res...

The Review Ride | author’s note

One of the craziest things about being published is thattotal strangers out there in the world are actually reading your books—and on top of that, forming opinions about them! This is very surreal. As someone just starting out in this whole published writer thing, it’s a new experience for me.


ReviewsI’ve been surprised to find that as I gain more reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, it’s easier than I expected not to take it personally. After all, there are tons of books out there that I don’t like—it w...

Being In-Between | author’s note

Having gone through some pretty major life transitions lately, I’m feeling very in-between.


Bow of Colorful BoatIt isn’t a bad feeling, but it’s uncomfortable in a lot of ways. I feel awfully rudderless, as if floating without a clear direction. I’m between writing projects, having finished #9, Murder in Santorini, with no ideas for my next book. I’m between promotions; I recently published book #1 in paperback, but don’t feel inspired to plan a big (terrifying) launch just now, and since I don’t have a release d...

Coming Soon: Paperback Edition of Book 1!

I just sent the first draft of book 9 to my editor for her first read (yay!), and while I know it’s going to need a lot of work in the editing process, including a title, I can safely say that for the moment it’s DONE. (I need it to be done, otherwise I keep messing with it and having to send her revised copies.)


I don’t really like to be between projects. I’d much rather be working on something, and since I’m not quite ready to start another book yet, I’ve decided to go ahead with a printed v...
