Happy March from

Top o' the Month of March, with all its Madness!

That includes springing ahead for Daylight Savings Time


I hope you're surviving the wintry weather.

Easter is around the corner, but first

we celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

As my Irish mama would say - wear green or get pinched!


I’m deep into writing the whodunit reveal for my first cozy,

A Very Mistletoe Murder.


At this point in my draft, my amateur sleuth Lottie

has followed many twists and turns, which have brought her into a confrontation with the true culprit -

placing her smack into the danger Detective Kincaid

has warned her about!


Dum..dum...dum...


With March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb,

enjoy a cup of tea, maybe a slice of Irish Soda Bread,

and a page turner!

Sneak Peek from

My Work-in-Progress

A Very Mistletoe Christmas

Draft - From Chapter 19.

Lottie has visited for the first time Linda's Hair Salon

for cut, color, & Starfire gossip -

and she picks up clues on a potential suspect!


The rumbling of my stomach interrupted my dark thoughts. Lunch now. Suspects later.


My usual from Triple S would hit the spot.


I pulled up their website on my phone to place my order and found myself staring at Jess in his ever-present cowboy hat.


The first time I’d eaten there, I’d asked if the place’s name came from his cowboy days. He’d laughed and said it was the name of the ranch where he’d worked until too many hours in the saddle made his bones ache. His Triple S served soup, salad, and sandwiches without him having to ride the range or lasso a thing.


Starfire certainly had its collection of characters.


When I swung by the takeout window, Franco greeted me.


“The number three for you, as usual. Greek pasta salad, roasted tomato basil soup, and half a Mediterranean turkey wrap.”


"That's it." I grinned.


My hand tightened around the takeout bag. “Thanks.”


His words startled me. They shouldn’t have, since I was on the front page. But was Starfire dividing into camps? Those who didn’t think I could be a killer. And those who did?
