The Spooky Frog Book Fair was a blast. My favorite book signing was for Mickey, who brought a first edition of Vengeance he found at Half Price Books. It was already signed to someone named Courtney, but I was able to fix that. Now Mickey is a murder suspect! #booksky #writingcommunity #writerslife

"The Perfect Stranger just blew me away. I literally couldn't put it down. I'd even go as far to say it's one of the best I've ever read."

The reader reviews on Amazon and Goodreads have been wonderful and mean a lot. Here's the latest. #booksky
