Welcome!

A Letter to My Readers:

I’m happy to launch a website that features my new mystery series with Avalon Books.  The first book in The Mango Bay Mystery Series is Peril in Paradise, and it came out in March, 2009.  If you like a cozy mystery in a fun tropical setting, you’ll like my novel!

Everyone loves a good mystery, and I think you’ll enjoy my amateur sleuth, Mallie Monroe.  She is quirky, smart, and ready for action.  But her world on Coral Island is filled with unusual characters who challenge and exasperate her at every step.  Once you enter Mallie’s world, you won’t want to leave, even when murder disrupts their island paradise. 

The next Mango Bay Mystery is Island Intrigue, and it will be published in spring, 2010.

Come and join Mallie (and me) on her adventures!

Peril in Paradise (February, 2009) is the first in the Mango Bay Mystery Series, published by Avalon Books.

Free spirit, Mallie Monroe, finally decides to settle down with her Airstream trailer and teacup poodle on Coral Island, Florida.  Taking a reporting job and living in a tropical paradise is the perfect antidote to her restless, gypsy lifestyle—until a local author is murdered and Mallie is a suspect.

Will she be able to find the real killer before she becomes the next victim?
