A few years ago, I strayed away from my historical novels and wrote a few cozy mysteries set in the fictional town of Hidden Springs, Kentucky where, as the picture above says, things are sweet and sentimental as well as a little sinister. After the first one, Murder at the Courthouse, was published, I did a magazine interview about …
I’ve written a lot of books and seen many of them published and sent out into the world of readers. Each new story has a way of sort of pushing the last story a little to the side and the story ten books ago toward the second shelf of memory. I did a Zoom meeting with a fun book club …
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. ~Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV) Whenever I autograph a book, I include a Scripture reference.

One of the questions I’m often asked is “What is your favorite book?” I always tell whoever asked what a hard question that is for an author to answer. It’s something like asking a mother which is her favorite child. All these books shown in …
“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” That quote is on a refrigerator magnet my daughter brought home years ago. We’ve had a lot of new years and new days since then, but that doesn’t make the saying any less true. Then we might remember that yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s not here, and all we have is …
How many ways can you give away books? I’m not sure, but I must be trying to find out today! With the release date for my new Hidden Springs Mystery, Murder Is No Accident, rapidly approaching, the publishers and I are trying to get people to visit Hidden Springs. That’s my little town with a good compliment of quirky small …
Have you been to my little town of Hidden Springs where Deputy Sheriff Michael Keane tries to keep the peace? It’s a sleepy little town that might remind you of other small towns you’ve known. The kind of place where everybody knows everybody and people sit around on front porches and share stories. Sometimes about themselves or their families and …
I’m not sure how amazing it is, but I do hope you are having fun playing my mystery photo game. You should see me around here studying everything I see just so maybe, just maybe I can come up with a picture you don’t ALL guess. So far this round of mystery photos I’m doing fairly well. Only one person …
