Every author has a process. A character for me morphs into reality the more layers I add. Kaitlynn combines multiple personalities I’ve befriended over the years & a dash of me. She’s flawed, confused, a people pleaser, bright & fierce. Oh & she’s great at solving puzzles like murder. #booksky ⚡️📚

My very first abstract painting. #art #creative
Abstract painting of a woman’s face:brunette hair in tight bun with blue eyes. It’s a side profile using burnt reds for the cheeks and lips, wisps of white in her hair.

Character Spotlight!

Kaitlynn Dahl sees more than most people. Sometimes too much. When death and danger close in, she has no choice but to listen.

The Kaitlynn Dahl Mysteries has four books and counting.

Anyone experience this? Can't please them all, I guess, but wow... it's irksome. Characters in books become friends, and it's like someone saying mean things about them. Ugh. #booksky 💙📚

It's true. I can't function without my morning tea (or hot water at the very least!) Otherwise, my mystery book plots get...dark. Anyone else? 💙📚 #booksky #authors #writingcommunity
