I'm a recommended read at Teresa Crowe!

Drop by Teresa Crowe's wonderful newsletter. She recommends  Railroad Ties: the Marmion Grove Murders to all her readers. It the first of my novels set in my home town and in the house I grew up in. Marmion Grove is modeled after a town founded in 1891 as a retreat for Washington, DC dwellers during the hot and humid summers. My house, built in 1892, is a classic Queen Anne, complete with tower, wraparound porch, and even a stable. The town is peopled by a quirky assortment of academics, scientists, and eccentrics, making it a perfect setting for murder and mystery.

Fair Winds and Foul Play Cover Reveal

Coming Soon! 

Fair Winds & Foul Play: an Amity Landing Mystery

Fair Winds and Foul Play is off to be galley proofed. It won't be long now! Save this space. 

The Blurb:

What do a government official, a loony environmentalist, and a batty old lady have in common?

Zoe’s run-in with the newcomer in Albion Cottage is hardly promising, but his gunmetal gray eyes and air of mystery stick with her. Why is he hiding? Who is he? His prickly attitude grates on the neighborly—well, to be honest, nosey—folks of the village of Amity Landing, but when he confesses to Zoe that he is the witness to a gruesome murder, she jumps at the chance to help the handsome stranger.

Two more corpses make their appearance in quick succession, but their connection to the first body is murky at best. Is it simply a series of unfortunate incidents? Has Amity Landing become a hotbed of homicide? Or is there a pattern to the madness? Do more have to die before Zoe and the stranger can fit the puzzle pieces together?
