"Clean Reads Steeped in the Mysteries of Life and Love"

Welcome to my website!

I am a private investigator/teacher/guidance counselor turned author. If you believe stories can be engaging without explicit sexual content, profanity, or graphic violence, then you are in the right place. My books have been called clean and captivating with unexpected twists and turns.

  • Browse my website and learn more about my romance and mystery novels.
  • Take the quick reader quiz to discover story elements you enjoy and what awaits you in my Sweet County Secrets series.
  • Check out my blog where I investigate foods used in novels. Each month I feature a scene that includes food as part of the storyline and share a recipe from the author.
  • Subscribe to my news below and I will send you The Private Eye Cookbook. If you or your family members have a hectic lifestyle and often eat on-the-run, then this cookbook is for you. These are my favorite “grab-and-go” recipes compiled out of necessity, living the life of a PI. Enjoy!
