Award-Winning Author ~ Writing Instructor ~ Bookseller                         My latest novel is MAGICAL ALIENATION, the second book in the Samantha Brennan and Annabelle Haggerty Magical Mystery series. The first book in the series, HIGH CRIMES ON THE MAGICAL PLANE, was a Lefty Award nominee for Best Humorous Mystery Novel. They feature funny, eccentric Samantha Brennan, who makes her totally inadequate income working as a fake psychic, and genuine Celtic goddess/ FBI agent Annabelle Haggerty. Discover the fun series that Barbara D’Amato, author of OTHER EYES, called, “…a sparkling, woo-woo romp.”     I write the madcap Tracy Eaton mysteries, REVENGE OF THE GYPSY QUEEN, an Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Award nominee, DEM BONES’ REVENGE, and the latest, REVENGE FOR OLD TIMES’ SAKE, a Lefty Award nominee for Best Humorous Mystery Novel. They feature Tracy Eaton, mystery writer, detective wannabe and the daughter of eccentric Hollywood stars, reality-challenged Martha Collins and Alec Grainger. So much fun they ought to be a crime!     Another of my novel-length works is NEVER SAY DIE, a standalone thriller, featuring edgy triathlete, Zoey Morgan. Hit by a car and left for dead, Zoey fights her way back to the land of the living, only to discover she can’t remember anything that happened before the accident. The things this enigmatic heroine doesn’t know about her own life could get her killed. Zoey is also featured in some of my stories, “Sentence Imposed” and “Deadly Obsessions,” both of which appear in THE ROSE IN THE SNOW.     Another of my thrillers, available only as an e-book, is DEVIL’S GAMBIT – DEVIL’S DUE. A monstrous injustice…a gentle genius imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, tearing his family apart…a kidnapping that goes horribly wrong, in a race to harness technology that will change the face of medical science and build an unimaginable fortune for whoever controls it. With technology that's as real as tomorrow, this high stakes game, proves that two wrongs really can make a right.
