Hello and welcome to my website!
I’m excited to announce that my short story “A Slippery Slope” is included in the recently released anthology Crime in the Old Dominion, a project from the Central Virginia Chapter of Sisters in Crime. I was privileged to serve as chapter president during the planning and initial phases of the anthology, and I’m excited to see the collection available!
Overflowing with history and charm, Virginia may be for lovers but in this collection of stories, it’s home to mayhem, mishap, and murder. From the city streets to small towns to the coast and everywhere in between, these short mysteries will take you on a criminally fun tour of the Old Dominion.
Contributing authors, all from the Central Virginia Chapter of Sisters in Crime, are Kathryn Prater Bomey, Mary Dutta, May G. Kennedy, Kristin Kisska, Maggie King, Cindy Martin, Adam Meyer, K.L. Murphy, Josh Pachter, Leah St. James, Heather Weidner, and Carol Willis.
