A Purrfect Date, book 2 of the Cat Yoga Mysteries, is out today! You can order a copy from your favorite book retailer!

It’s been awhile since some updates were made to the page. All event appearances for 2025 have been added to the events page. I’ll be mostly traveling to places in Ohio this year, so check it out to see where I’ll be.

I have several new books coming out, too. The next of the Cat Yoga Mysteries, A Purrfect Date, is set to release at the end of this month. The next two of the Bookstore Cafe Mysteries are available for preorder: Death by Java, set to be released in October, and Death by Irish Coffee, set to be released in January 2026.

Wow. It’s hard to believe that the 11th book in the Bookstore Cafe series released just last month. Death by Iced Coffee can be picked up at any bookstore. Along with the book release news, keep watching here, my Facebook page, and the book page for news on upcoming book releases and news (I can only give that hint for now!).

I also have a couple of upcoming events. On May 27, I’ll be at the Canal Town Book Festival in Dover, OH. You can read more about the festival and participating authors here: https://www.canaltownbookfest.org/ On June 11, Kensington is hosting a Cozy Mystery Mini-Con in Oakmont, PA just outside of Pittsburg. The event is free, but pre-registration is required. You can find out more and register here: https://www.mysterylovers.com/event/kensington-mini-cozy-con

Hey everyone. Just a quick update here.

The 9th book in the Bookstore Cafe Mystery Series came out this week. Be sure to go to your favorite bookseller to get it or ask them to order it for you!

I also have a few events coming up that you might be interested in. The first is the return of the return of the in-person Buckeye Book Fair in Wooster, OH on November 6. More information about the event and the authors that will be there can be found on their website: https://buckeyebookfair.org/ I also have a couple of Zoom events coming up near the end of November. I’ll post details about as soon as I know more, so keep checking here and my Facebook page!

Just a quick update for today:

It’s release day for Dial ‘M’ for Maine Coon! The book is no longer a Barnes & Noble exclusive and is now available through all booksellers. Also, be sure to check the events page for some upcoming events. I will be adding more in the coming weeks.

I hope everyone is staying safe. I have some news on the release date for Dial M for Maine Coon and a Barnes & Noble eBook sale to pass along.

Just a quick update.

The Pomeranian Always Barks Twice, the first book in the Furever Pets Mystery series, is available in all formats starting today! You can order an eBook or paperback copy from your favorite bookseller.

Release day for Death by Eggnog is here. Stop by your favorite bookseller to pick it up or order it!

September is going to be a big month around here! I have a lot of news to share!

Barnes & Noble and Kensington are teaming up for a special promotion. Throughout the month of September, Barnes & Noble is featuring on an end-cap display a number of Kensington Cozy Mysteries. Three of my books were chosen for it! Death by Coffee, Death by Pumpkin Spice, and Death by Vanilla Latte will be featured as part of the display. In addition to those books being part of the display, Barnes & Noble and Kensington are doing a Buy 3 Get 1 Free promotion for any books purchased from the display or from the sale link on Barnes & Noble’s website. Also, for any book purchased as part of the promotion, you can choose to be entered into Kensington’s Cozy Mystery Bonanza Sweepstakes for a chance to win a gift basket worth $300. For details on the sweepstakes, please visit Kensington’s Cozy Mystery Bonanza page.

I’m also going to participate in a Twitter chat on September 6 from 3:00pm – 4:30pm. Kensington has an event page on Facebook with more information. I’d love to chat with you!

As I said, this is going to be a big month! In other news, Death by Eggnog is going to be released on September 26! Head on over to the books page to check it out.

I also have a few events up on the events page if you want to check them out!
