What’s New | at a glance

Release Day for BOARD STIFF is almost here! This is the first in the Elliott Lisbon Mystery Series and it releases April 30, 2013 (Henery Press), right before the fabulously fun Malice Domestic mystery fan conference. If you’d like to be an early reader, pop on over and request it: NETGALLEY ARC.

I’ve received some lovely endorsements from bestselling authors Hank Phillippi Ryan, Krista Davis, and CJ Lyons — very excited to receive high praise from such wonderful writers (and fan favorites)!

In the meantime, keep reading below for OTHER PEOPLE’S BAGGAGE, the novella prequel to the Elliott Lisbon Mystery Series, where a luggage mishap gets her into hot water.

Lynn Farris, Mystery Reviewer at Examiner.com on Board Stiff

“A cross between an educated, upper class Stephanie Plum and a less neurotic Monk. Put this on your list for a great vacation read.”

Library Journal, on Other People’s Baggage

“A cozy triple-scoop that tastes divine…the pleasantly contrasting novellas make it easy to finish off a story in one sitting, plus each novella serves as a prequel to the respective author’s full-length work.”

Other People’s Baggage | release day is December 3

So excited to announce this very cool novella project I’m involved in: OTHER PEOPLE’S BAGGAGE: Three Interconnected Mystery Novellas, along with my two writer friends Diane Vallere and Gigi Pandian. All three of our novellas are prequels to novels featuring our series characters.

It releases on December 3, 2012 from Henery Press, in both print and ebook (that’s just in time for Christmas, folks). And the Advance Reader Copies are already in reviewers’ hands — yay!

Pop over to my books page to read the teaser. I hope it’s as much fun to read as it was to write. We’re hosting two launch parties with signings — stop by airline cocktails, in-flight snacks, giveaways, and signed books — see the Events page for details.

“Lost luggage has never been this fun! With well-drawn characters, Other People’s Baggage is your first class ticket to three fast-paced adventures full of mystery, murder, and magic.”
