So much has happened in the last month but I'm going to skip most of it other than sending my hopes everyone had a reasonable holiday season. We did survive three middle of the night ER visits for my hubby as well as an emergency gallbladder removal surgery. Phew! The new year? Still keeping my fingers crossed (and toes, arms, legs) that things will improve.
Roast & Rumors, the prequel novella for my Red Line Coffee Mysteries, is published! There were days I thought this would never happen. Remember, you can also follow me on Amazon and BookBub as well as follow my blog.

Burdock, Burglary and Beltane’s Eve…
With the Great Feast, stories of ancestors around the Grand Fire and celebratory dancing around the Maypole, Beltane’s Eve had always been Blaise’s favourite festival.
However, this year’s promise of good fortune is exchanged with the promise of impending murder.
When a rare, precious and poisonous potion ingredient is stolen from Sally and Kolton’s Apothecary & Potion Store, Blaise, Sally’s familiar, knows it’s a race against time to find the thief.
Can Blaise track down the missing ingredient before it’s used to murder and harness the victim’s powers?
She’s little. She’s feisty. Spoiler alert, she’s not the killer.
Move to Hollywood. Catch her big break. Become a movie star. Nowhere on Becky Robinson’s to-do list does it say discover a dead body or become the prime suspect.
Becky’s first day on set is anything but glamorous. Between coffee runs and walking the star dog, she discovers the body of a prominent actress. Not exactly how she pictured seeing her name in the papers. And they didn’t even spell it right.
After finding evidence at the crime scene, the cops are on her trail and a Hollywood hunk is in the hot seat.
To clear her name and discover whodunit, Becky rubs elbows with Tinseltown insiders. With the help of her best friend and an adorable puppy, they attempt to expose the killer before he claims his next victim.
Something’s rotten in Veil Falls and it’s not the fresh catch of the day.
Our family comes from a long line of powerful witches. It’s in our blood. So in a town run by Magic you’d think we’d have a clue.
When the grapes in my brother's vineyard start to shrivel on the vines and the customers in my sister’s fancy restaurant toss their cookies after eating her famous Chicken Cacciatore, I smell a rat.
It could be the dead hobo we tripped over in the alley.
Someone is sabotaging our home and they’re using dark magic to do it. With the help of my best friend Restless, it will be up to us to solve a murder investigation before the body count rises and Veil Falls becomes a ghost town.
And now my sister is missing.
The stakes are rising and we’re running out of time as evil closes in for a final bite.
Abbey is a true gymnast at heart. She loves to flip, cartwheel, and walk on her hands all the time. Her hard work and practice results in a great gift given to her by her parents at the end. What is that gift, I wonder?
