Welcome to my website. The Empire Apartments pictured here play a significant role in my new mystery series coming soon from Berkley.

DUCKS IN A ROW: A CASSEROLE LOVER’S MYSTERY  Coming July 2011 from Berkley Prime Crime Jordan McAllister dreams of becoming a popular sports columnist but gets stuck in a podunk town writing personal ads for a small time newspaper.  When she's offered a chance to fill in for a local food critic off on sick leave, she jumps at the chance rationalizing that it's one step closer to her dream. However, when a dead body is found underneath her apartment stairwell with her name and number along with it, she becomes the prime suspect, as well as the main course on the murder menu.

As the release date for Ducks In A Row gets closer, I’ll add a Contest Link and more fun things including recipes from the series. Rosie’s Potato Chip Chicken Recipe is there now.

Remember, life is precious. Use your good china, break out that fancy lingerie you were saving, and above all, laugh until your cheeks ache. Oh, and curl up with a good book – preferably mine.
