Judge, author, litigator, wife, step-mom, mother of twins, and civic volunteer, are all words used to describe me. My life and writings are equally diverse. I write Kensington’s Sarah Blair mystery series. Sarah, like me, is a cook of convenience who might be scorched if she gets too close to a kitchen. One Taste Too Many, the first book in the series, was named a Woman’s World Book of the Week. Two Bites Too Many and Three Treats Too Many, were both Silver Falchion finalists. Four Cuts Too Many was recently released and the fifth book in the series, Five Belles Too Many, will be published in June 2022, but is available for pre-order.

My short stories, which have been finalists for the Agatha, Anthony, and Derringer awards have appeared in numerous anthologies and periodicals. A current listing of them can be found on my personal website.
