Bound by legacy and peril, two women—separated by a century—discover that Harbor House keeps its secrets…and its dangers. amazon.com/dp/B0G1S4NWBQ
A gripping thriller that is a page-turner even for me! As I plotted and wrote it, I didn't see the ending coming either!

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with all of these book clubs contacting me, wanting my book to be featured? Immediately, I dismiss those emails without any contact info or full names—they're scams.
But the others? Are any of them legit? Highly suspicious.

Standing in a B&N recently, I looked around & saw so many authors on the shelves. And there are so many more like me not on the shelves.
All of us trying to find our audience.
It made writing the best story possible all the more important.

It feels strange not to have an ongoing writing project. I've been working on several at time these past few years. Now what?
