Some of the books I've written:

The Psychic Assassin: Abby and Gina are in love and Detective Browne hates all the sweetness, but they'll need to work together to stop a killing spree. Part romantic comedy, part supernatural thriller, all fun.

Love, by the Hour: A dark comedy about things that aren't funny.
Elisabeth is retiring and looking to find her life’s meaning, but the dead body, nosy detective, and tiresome drama are getting in the way. “Love by the Hour” - a dark, adult comedy.
