This past weekend, we rented an MCM house for my birthday. It had huge windows overlooking a wooded backyard, beautiful wooden ceilings, and cozy heated concrete floors. We played board games, watched movies, read, and I kept to my Sisters in Crime January Jumpstart commitment and wrote every day.

Melanie is digging her new job as a landscaper – until her old boss turns up dead her first day. It’s the cover-up that envelops her good friend. “The mystery kept me guessing.” #mystery #booksky amzn.to/3cOH6Gt apple.co/3gcnIpg BN bit.ly/2YZZLbm Google bit.ly/2PRRo2s

My author year in review. I've had a busy year! Lots of stories written and published! I was kinda surprised to add up the numbers and see the results. I'm looking forward to a productive, story-filled 2026!

I'm committing to writing every day in January (starting today) with Sisters in Crime! I love being part of this world-wide author group and am so thankful for the friendships I've made and all the encouragement I've gleaned. Wish me luck! @sincworldwide.bsky.social #SinCJumpstart

A very Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope your holidays (Christmas or otherwise!) are happy and you get lots and lots of books.

Since my new release is seasonal, I thought I'd try to encourage more sales before the holiday season is over. I'm having a sale on Twinkling Tree Trouble through the end of the year. A truckload of Christmas trees. Mysterious string lights. A most festive secret. irismarchbooks.com/twinkling-tr...

My critique partner just got through next novel in the Succulent Sleuth Series. I have a lot of edits to go through for it, but I'm hoping it will be ready in 2026. In the mean time, I've been writing a new first in series with a sassy forester who finds a dead guy in the woods with a client.

"Succulent Sleuth" came to me when I was on a run and I knew it was a keeper! At first, I thought it was just the title of the first book, but I decided it was the whole series!

What inspired you to create a green sleuther? * also I love the phrase "succulent sleuth" 🌿
