About the author

I'm a middle-aged woman who works in insurance, doesn't have children or pets, can't drive, has lived in Christchurch my entire life, and currently reside a two-minute walk from where I was born.

For some reason, I've developed a rich fantasy life.



I like to write mysteries, some set in my hometown of Christchurch, others ninety minutes up the road in the beautiful township of Hanmer Springs, or in the quasi-fictional town of Pinetar. These mysteries range from hard-hitting psychological thrillers, through to police procedurals, or the lighter adventure of a cozy mystery.

Reviews

[Janice Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a "Whitman's Sampler" of cozy mysteries, each part of a different series. They feature a variety of supernatural beings, including ghosts, witches, vampires, werewolves, pixies, fairy godmothers, etc. Most allow at least sufficient "suspension of disbelief" to suck the reader into the story, although though I occasionally was bounced out of the narrative as I stopped reading to puzzle over details. Humor and character building are excellent and one doesn't expect to take the genre too seriously. Overall, they're good light reading for a rainy day.
