Alcatraz
Bodies in mysteries can be discovered anywhere, right? Preferably within the first few chapters of a book. But I’m always looking for interesting places.

Year’s End
This time of year is magical. I love the holiday decorations, the lights, and the crispness in the air. Even though I don’t live in a part of the country where I can enjoy the snow, I like to pretend I’m having a white Christmas. As the Winter Solstice of 2017 rolls around, I dig… Continue Reading
