COMING NEXT
A McKenzie Sisters Mystery
My next book The Case of the Peculiar Inheritance will soon be in your hands, and I can't wait to share it with you. If all goes well, and the creek don't rise, we'll be releasing the series in June 2021! I'm writing one sister's story while my fellow collaborator is penning the other, an author I respect and admire, the creator of the popular Montana Gallagher Series, MK McClintock.
We're still working out the genre and finding it falling somewhere between historical cozy mystery and western romantic mystery. Maybe we're creating our own genre!
Subscribe to the newsletter so you don't miss the release. I'd love to hear from you!
