Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve discovered my books. Hope you’re enjoying getting to know Logan McKenna and friends as much as I love writing about them.  Whenever I finish a book, I say it is my favorite, and my newest release, LOOK AGAIN: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 10 is no exception.

I got the idea for LOOK AGAIN a couple of years ago when checking out Adventurous K9, a doggie daycare center out in Eddyville, OR for our new puppy, Finn. After just one visit I realized it would make the perfect setting for a murder. Besides, as readers of my books already know, I love animals, so why not throw horses, dogs, and an octopus into my next book?  Luckily, the owner and her family and friends enthusiastically supported the project and off I went!

I’m already having fun dreaming up Logan’s next adventure for Book 11!

I love to hear from readers and promise to write back, even if it takes a while due to my writing schedule.  And if you like my books, I’d appreciate your spreading the word and leaving an Amazon review so others can get to know Logan, too.

Ever since I wrote the first book in the Logan McKenna series, I’ve had this story brewing in the back of my head about Logan’s family roots and her treasured violin, Bella—why it was made and how she came to inherit it. Finally, four books into the series, the story kept pushing to get out, so I decided to give Bella a book of her own.

Join me in stepping back in time to meet Logan’s great grandmother and Giovanni, a young Italian immigrant in the story that started it all.
