Justify The Means (cozy thriller) and Christmas Bells & Wedding Spells Available Everywhere

 Hello Friends!

When I worked at Germantown Academy, it was suggested we call everyone "friends." This was supposed to take place of "Hey Guys" or "Hey Girls" (something that old school me always does and it's difficult to not say this when talking to a group of guys or a group of girls. But kids today get their feathers ruffled so easily, mostly because adults are steering them in this direction of collection (we are all friends, we are all one, individuals aren't special))

It felts so odd to me, calling students "friends." I wasn't there to be friends with them. I was there as a guide rail, if you will, to help keep order and keep things as secure as possible (well, this ended up being less about security and more about visibility, but that's another story, I have so many Germantown Academy stories I could write a book. And I just might!) Don't get me wrong, the kids at the academy were mostly well behaved. And they were smart. And I enjoyed hearing stories from them, but I wasn't their to be their 'friend." 

Anyway, this post was meant to tell you that my books, Justify the Means and Christmas Bells and Wedding Spells - are now available everywhere! Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Apple, etc. Where-ever ebooks are sold. And you can order a printed copy on Amazon as well. 

And Sorry Bob! is in the final editing stages and should be available by the end of April! Just in time for May Flowers!

Justify The Means - A Cozy Vigilante Story

 

Click On The Book!
I actually wrote this book more than 20 years ago. It’s a quirky little whodunit set in Cranberry County, just outside Philadelphia. At the time, agents and publishers turned it down because the plot centers around a vigilante hunting down pedophiles. “Too dark,” they told me.

But here we are, years later, and the conversation around crimes against children is everywhere. People are talking about accountability, justice, and the frustration of watching terrible people slip through the cracks. It made me think…maybe the timing for this story is finally right.

So I decided to dust it off and bring it back to life.

If you enjoy a mystery with a little humor, a little romance, and a few twists along the way, you might like meeting Detective Molly O’Brien and the strange cast of characters she encounters while trying to solve
the case.

The book is free until April 1st. You can download the Nook app from Barnes & Noble for free and read it on any device. 

If you do give it a read, I’d truly love to hear what you think, good or bad. And I’m especially curious if you were surprised when you discovered who the vigilante really is.


Justify The Means...

Meet loveable but quirky (and always starving) Detective Molly O'Brien.

And meet her next assignment... a serial killer loose in Cranberry County, just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

As the murder list grows, Molly's problems grow just as fast; her partner Jake follows the letter of the law, and is ruthless in his pursuit to find the vigilante.

Handsome FBI agent Luke Foreman is assigned to the case and carries his own secrets.

A bumbling detective compromising crime scenes.

A hyperactive male dancer who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and worries he's a suspect.

And a gun found by Molly in her best-friend's closet that matches the one used in the crimes.

Molly soon finds the boundaries of friendship, romance, and the law tested as she struggles with the idea "The End Justifies The Means."

This cozy mystery has a little romance, a little humor, a little bit of an edge, and will keep you wondering 'whodunit' until the surprising conclusion.

(This is a PG rated book, contains light romance, very few curse words, and non-graphic violence.)
