🕵️‍♀️ Crime Ink: Iconic is where queer icons meet killer stories.

In 2023, fewer than 1% of major crime anthology stories were written by LGBTQ+ authors—this is the course correction!

It's a baker's dozen! Don't let triskaidekaphobia keep you away from my 13th murder mystery, coming this June! My favorite so far!

My dad's 100th birthday today, shown here with his grandmother, my great grandmother. He taught me integrity, kindness, and respect for all living things. He also gave me my corny sense of humor :-) I miss him.

I just love this! A reader by the name of Eric Nash e-mailed me these photos of a model of a detective's office that he built. Notice the poster by the door. It's the cover of one of my mysteries, "Death Overdue". Thank you, Eric! Posted here with his permission.
