Welcome to my website and thanks for stopping by. I’m the author of The End of Promise: A Bethany Jarviss Mystery, which released July 22, 2024 and the debut novel in the series, The First Fiancée, published in December 2022, both by The Wild Rose Press. My novelette, Passing on the Farm, a story of inheritance and romance, is part of my publisher’s “Jelly Beans and Spring Things” series. All are available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other retailers. 

I enjoy writing twisty fiction of various lengths—micro and flash fiction, short and long stories, and novels. My amateur detective, Bethany Jarviss, the grants administrator for her family’s charitable foundation, has complicated relationships with her family and cowboy boyfriend. She uses her sharp mind and engaging personality to solve crimes that threaten to shake up the lives of people she loves. I write about her and other characters in my home office in Colorado, my cabin in the New Mexico Mountains, or wherever I go with my laptop. I take tea breaks with my nose in a classic or contemporary mystery at a favorite café. Maybe I’ll see you there!
