Ahhh winter. There’s nothing better when it’s cold and snowing outside then curling up under a warm blanket in front of a roaring fire with a hot cup of cocoa (or red wine) and a good book. So, let’s start the season off right with a Winter Reading Challenge. Unlike other reading challenges, this one […]

2019 Indy Book Round Up!
It’s that time of year. The time where we look back at 2019 and review what we’ve done and where we were so we can prepare ourselves for the new year. This year, I wanted to do something a little different. I wanted to celebrate the Indy authors and their new releases. So, I decided […]
5 Cold-Hearted Winter Mysteries and Thrillers
There’s nothing more satisfying than curling up under a big, fluffy blanket in front of a roaring fire as snow falls outside, with a yummy cup of tea or glass of wine and a good book. Ah. Just heaven. And, it’s even more satisfying when the book you’re reading takes place in ice and snow. […]
Generic Book Club Questions for Every Fiction Genre
When Amazon blew open the doors of the traditional publishing model and paved the way for Indie authors to compete and get their books directly into the hands of their readers, there was a lot to celebrate. Especially for book clubs. Now you have soooo many more books to choose from! But there was a […]

The Pros and Cons of Dating a Cop in a Haunted Town
Redemption, Wisconsin is like no other town. Redemption decides who it wants living there … and who it doesn’t. Some people even say the entire town is haunted. In celebration of the publication of The Evil That Was Done, the third book in my award-winning “Secrets of Redemption series,” I thought I’d let our heroine […]
Book Club Discussion Questions PERFECT for Psychological Thrillers, Mysteries, Supernatural and Horror Stories
A few years back, someone posted a question on Goodreads asking if any book club discussion questions existed for my book, The Stolen Twin. Even though it had never occurred to me to provide them, the question still gave me pause. I’m an English Major, so I always thought of “literary” books as discussion question […]
The Story Behind the Story: “The Evil That Was Done”
The Evil That Was Done is the third book in my award-winning Secrets of Redemption series (it also had the title “What Was Done,” more on that below). It has the distinction of being the first third book in my first series. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like writing a series, I […]
