Are you looking for a break from the downer side of life? Me too! That’s why I write lighthearted cozy mysteries designed to lift your spirits while balancing the scales of justice, at least within the pages of my books. My stories always feature sharp-witted heroines who sometimes feel like they’re in over their heads (don’t we all?), a cast of quirky characters you’ll enjoy getting to know, and furry friends with surprising magical abilities. Magic always adds the perfect touch of excitement to a story. Don’t you agree?

Usually, you can find me locked away in my writing room, dreaming up new ways for my magical animals to solve murders (or help to solve murders, or try to help to solve murders, you can never be sure with those critters). Or, you might find me out in the sunshine with my own special critter, pondering other important and not-so-important story points over a nice cup of tea.

Soon, I’ll be rolling out lots of fun and games to celebrate all the stories I plan to publish (it’s a long list that seems to get longer every day!). If you want in on the party, I hope you’ll sign up for my occasional newsletter so you don’t miss a thing.
