Coming in the new year

The memoir isn't the only thing I've been writing.

When I stopped pouring energy into a habit that wasn't serving me, I got something unexpected back time, a clearer head, and a long-buried desire to write fiction. I'm retiring later this year to do exactly that. Because it turns out it's never too late to become who you were also meant to be.

Talk to You on Sunday

Two women. One friendship. A lifetime of Sunday phone calls.

Danielle and Rita told each other everything. Almost.

They met as girls in a small town and built lives that looked nothing alike. Distance grew, years went by, and the Sunday call held anyway. It was the one thing that never quite got away from them.

And after that: The Larkspur Resort Mysteries

Picture a small lakeside resort in BC in the last golden days of the season. Coffee going cold on the dock rail. Cabin keys on numbered hooks, most of them hanging still now. The kind of place where the water goes glass-calm by evening, everyone knows everyone, and the long memories run deeper than the lake. Into it comes a woman in the middle of her own second act, she came for a quiet summer, and got anything but. A goodbye nobody was ready for. Secrets that were supposed to stay buried with the season. And one death that doesn't sit right with her, no matter how tidy everyone else wants it to be.

There will be mysteries, of course. But also friendship, the kind that shows up with coffee and doesn't ask permission. A slow spark of something no one saw coming. And the stubborn, hopeful business of figuring out who you get to be next.

A cozy mystery series set at a small lakeside resort in BC. Coming once the Sunday books are told.

Book One arrives late 2026. Want to be the first to hear when it's ready? That's exactly what The 6 O'Clock Letter is for.
