My latest creation, Hidden Gem: the Secret of St. Augustine, is now available for pre-order! It will be released April 4, 2022 from the fabulous Wild Rose Press. To get you salivating, here’s the cover from Tina Stout (who won #5 In the Critters Readers Poll for Mrs. Spinney’s Secret):
Hidden Gem is a cozy mystery with quirky characters and
historic sites and romance set in the oldest city in North America, St.
Augustine. This is the story:
Barnaby and Philo’s story begins with very bad chili and a
dead body.
Barnaby is in St. Augustine, Florida, to teach a college seminar, and plans to
use The Secret—a treasure hunt book—as a framework for his class. He enlists
Philo Brice, owner of an antique map store, to aid him in seeking clues in the
historic sites of the ancient city.
Together they face murderers, thieves, thugs, and fanatics, heightening their
already strong attraction to each other. Can they solve the puzzle and unearth
the treasure before the villains do? Philo and Barnaby pursue several twisting
paths and false leads before arriving at a startling conclusion.
