From I Heart Publishing comes my new romantic suspense…
For the Love of a Spy:
The Scrivener & the Handyman
In an era electric with possibility and peril Maris Graystone, political writer, and Michael Kinder, CIA troubleshooter, meet under oddly conventional circumstances. Despite the instantaneous sparks, they both sense there is more between them than physical attraction.
Their love affair intensifies against the backdrop of the dramatic world events of 1991—a disintegrating USSR, Middle East peace talks, and Vietnam’s reemergence on the world stage. Michael appears and disappears at unpredictable moments, leaving Maris limp and lovelorn. In her quest for answers, she is yanked into the dangerous world of Michael’s work—in Washington, DC, in France, and in Spain. Looking for safe harbor for her emotions and her body, she accepts the advances of a dashing French diplomat.
Will she embrace the luxury and comfort of Émile and his chateau or the romance of international intrigue with Michael?
Here’s where you can get it:
It will also be available at Walmart and I Tunes.
So get out there and swim through the post-holiday crowds and get your copy.

Stranger Things are Sighted on Amelia Island than Corpses
I’ve told you about the crazy history of Amelia Island,
setting for my new mystery romance Flotsam & Jetsam: the Amelia Island
Affair. What I didn’t tell you is that odd things continue to happen on the
island—and I don’t just mean murders. When I was visiting the island a couple
of years ago, I saw a great crowd of tourists ogling at something. When I got
closer I saw it was the Wienermobile! Yes, it still exists (see photo).
Couldn’t help but put it in the book. Here’s a bit:
They passed a large
gathering on the sidewalk. Many were pointing and taking pictures. Ellie
stopped. “Must be something going on.”
Simon stood on tiptoe to
peer over the arms brandishing cell phones in the air. “Why, it’s the
Wienermobile!”
Just then the pack
parted, revealing a red hot dog in a bright yellow bun the size of a blue whale
sitting on top of a souped-up station wagon. Simon turned excitedly to Ellie.
“I drove one of these back in college. Great summer job.”
“You’re kidding.” Ellie
looked at her companion with a mixture of awe and mirth. “You have hidden
depths.”
“Aw, shucks. Actually, I
think that’s how I landed the job in the park service.”
“I guess it really stood
out on an otherwise humdrum resume.”

Blurb:
State Park Rangers Simon Ribault and Ellie Ironstone are
used to dealing with messy campers and ravaging raccoons, but when three bodies

and how did they get to the shore of Amelia Island? Are they connected to the

RELEASE DAY!!! Flotsam & Jetsam is Born
Flotsam & Jetsam: the Amelia Island Affair, a cozy mystery romance set on a barrier island in north-east Florida, was released today.
Three corpses strewn across the sand. Who are they and how did they get to Amelia Island? State Park rangers Simon Ribault and Ellie Ironstone must find the answers while contending with a secretive group called the League of the Green Cross. Are the deaths linked to it? Or could they be tied to the colorful history of the island, which was won and lost eight times? Mucking up the investigation is the crucial question—who will Ellie choose: Thad, the handsome local idol, and Simon, the clever, quirky bookworm?
I’m visiting Brenda Whiteside’s wonderful blog today to talk about Amelia Island and its crazy patchwork of history, which inspired me to write Flotsam & Jetsam. Find me here—and a thrilling excerpt:

Coming Soon! Flotsam & Jetsam: the Amelia Island Affair--A TEASER
Mark your calendars: December 17 my new cozy mystery romance releases, hopefully to great fanfare!
Who's littering the park with corpses?
State Park Rangers Simon Ribault and Ellie Ironstone are used to dealing with messy campers and ravaging raccoons, but when three bodies wash up on the beach, they mobilize all their powers of deduction. Who are they and how did they get to the shore of Amelia Island? Are they connected to the secretive League of the Green Cross? Or linked to a mysterious Jamaican drug ring?
Ellie, new to Amelia Island, must penetrate a close-knit community if she wants to find answers to the mystery, all while deciding between two rivals for her affection: Thad, the handsome local idol, and Simon, the clever, quirky bookworm.
Simon, for his part, will have to call on his not-so-well-honed romantic prowess to lure Ellie away from Thad and at the same time use his wide-ranging research skills to solve the case.
Okay, here’s the teaser:
Ellie systematically searched the stern, lifting up seat cushions soaked from the rain and opening storage lockers. A rope sat in a jumbled heap by the cockpit wall. Under a small fold-out table, she noticed a red stain and bent down. It was dry. She scraped her fingernail in it and brought it to her nose. “Blood. I found blood, Simon!”
“A lot?”
“Puddle about six inches in diameter.”
“That’s nothing. I found a lot of blood. Oh, and a body.”
