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. Places where Julia Bonatti, my San Francisco astrologer, can become involved in a crime. And I love the thought that she could be found at an iconic San Francisco site –… Continue Reading
Restless Spirits
I love ghost stories, especially the scary ones, even though I’ve never written about a ghost. Well, maybe that’s not quite true.

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
