What do you do with a San Diego girl who grew up in a library and has written since she could hold a pencil in her hand? Exactly. Wait until fifty years and five kids pass by and then ask whether she wants to be an author when she grows up.
Be still, my heart.
After years of blogging, several practice novels, and a freelance writing business, The Idyllwild Mystery Series launched in 2020. Mystery, history, and a pinch of poppycockāhow fun is that?
Iām now an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author in multiple categories. You can read what I think about it all here, or you can read reviews all the day long…
āMoving at a blistering pace, the plot keeps you hooked with its unexpected twists and turns, and you canāt help but turn the pages in eager anticipation of whatās to come⦠Any reader who enjoys westerns or a well-written murder mystery will find The Great Loveda Brown a thoroughly entertaining reading experience.ā

āI found the writing to be exceptional. It grabs you and takes you on an adventure that can be both humorous and perilous. I felt transported back to 1912 to this tiny town in the west. Will I seek out the rest of this series to read? Thatās no mystery. You bet I will.ā

You can find me all over the web, but my thoughts are wandering Idyllwild, chasing squirrels and looking for a mystery to solve. š
For everything else…
