Meet the Author
I'm the author of ten Christian cozy mysteries, two romances, humorous short stories, a retro middle-grade novel, and two children's books about my mischievous dachshund, Franky.
My motto is there's a mystery around every corner — or there ought to be. I start with a whodunit, add a little romance, sprinkle in clean humor (and usually a dog), and voilà — a novel that everyone can enjoy.
I grew up in Kankakee, Illinois, and now live in the beautiful Ozarks. I'm married with five children and fifteen grandchildren. My dachshunds keep me company while I write — they're great listeners, as long as they don't catch each other rolling their eyes.
Fair warning: I have a severe coffee addiction and absolutely no plans to fix it.
