Hello!

It's been TOO many months since I've popped into your inbox. Time flies when life's complicated!

I hope all's been well with you. And, welcome to my new subscribers! Thanks for your support.

The best personal news I have to share is my oldest daughter and her husband had an adorable little boy, Cayes, in May. He's now four months. His cousins Parks (4) and Wells (2) can't wait until he's running around with them.

In writing news, my time travel book A TRYST IN PARIS, was named as the 2024 Georgia Independent Author Award in the historical category and placed as a finalist in the Georgia Author of the Year (GAYA).

To celebrate, the Ebook for 99¢ (promotion runs until 10/8). Purchase links are below. If you haven't read it, grab it!

In other writing news, I'm pivoting to a different genre for me: a cozy mystery! Cozy mysteries are like puzzles wrapped in charm: no gore, just gossip, clues, and plenty of tea (or coffee) along the way. My goal is to release it Fall 2026, fingers and toes crossed.

Along with way, I'll be testing out some parts of the manuscript with you, such as the question below. If you answer, you'll be entered into a drawing for a $5.00 Amazon gift card!

Check out my revamped website which I updated to inspire me with my writing ventures ahead, kind of like putting on a new author face. Let me know what you think!

REMINDER - I'm available for book club visits. I'd love to visit yours!

I can't believe this year is winding down. Let's squeeze out every second of each remaining day in 2025,

It was like I’d stumbled into a special edition of that fun board game: victim Greg Mulholland, realtor. In the model home. With the candlestick.

Except in this case, the envelope was missing the murderer’s card.

And this wasn’t a game.

All participants will be entered into a drawing for

a $5.00 Amazon gift card!

Deadline for your reply is

midnight 10/3/2025.

I'll email the winner and post to my Facebook page.

BIG TROUBLE ON SULLIVAN"S ISLAND

by Susan M. Boyer

BOOK 1 of 3 Carolina Tales

I read this for one of my book clubs and enjoyed solving the murder the author set against the backdrop of Charleston and Sullivan's Island. Several of the book club attendees who'd never visited felt as if they were there.

Hadley, a private investigator, is an intriguing character who celebrates her birthday every year since she's found out her father's identity by bashing up one of his expensive cars., while he watches.

I had a slight problem buying into how she gets to live in an incredible beachside modern mansion that seems almost built for all her personal quirks, but hey, somebody's got to housesit it, right? Why not her?

When she is hired by a delightful older woman to spy on her husband to build a divorce case, Hadley is embraced by a delightfully quirky group of the woman's girlfriends. Her investigation takes a turn when her client is murdered and the husband becomes Hadley's suspect number one. But, how could he have done it when she's his perfect alibi?

Overall, I enjoyed the read and pretending I was right there with Hadley on Sullivan's Island. If you like a touch of romance and lots of cat and mouse games, you'll enjoy this one.

There's more coming, Number two is available with number three on preorder now, coming April 2026.
