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 book, THE KEEPER’S SECRET: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 12, is no exception.
This story was inspired by the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, which is about twenty minutes south of us. Powerful waves crashing on the rocky point jutting into the Pacific, the lonely lighthouse, the rugged keepers and their families who manned the light. All that atmosphere, plus it’s loaded with local history, the lighthouse was a natural fit for a mystery/thriller with dual homicides. Continuing her volunteer work with the Lincoln County Cold Case Unit, Logan is tasked with identifying the remains of a person who vanished into the sea almost a century ago.
I’m already having fun dreaming up Logan’s next adventure for Book 13!

Time to take Finn for his afternoon walk before getting back to Logan’s next adventure. When there’s a sun break on the Oregon coast, we take it! Hard to believe Finn was a puppy just a few books ago—he’ll be 9 in December, but still loves exploring the forest and ocean paths.

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.
