Welcome!
I write three cozy mystery series for Kensington/Lyrical Underground. The well reviewed Tourist Trap series featuring Jill Gardner and the crew from South Cove, California. In mass market, I write the Cat Latimer series, set in small town Aspen Hills, Colorado. New to the team is the Farm-to-Fork series set in River Vista, Idaho.
My stories focus on small towns and families - the ones you are born into and the ones you create.
