Jane in St. Pete Release Day!


Jane fires her agent, retires from the art lecture circuit and moves to sunny St. Pete, all on a frenzied whim when her not-very-beloved husband unexpectedly dies. She fixes up her condo, meets her mom for lunch and finds new friends. When one of them is murdered, she uses her knowledge of art to help the local police solve the case. Also, she falls in love with a homicide detective.

Of course she falls in love. I have never written a book, published or unpublished, that does not have a love thread. And I’ve tried. That’s just where my heart goes. Talking with friends, trying to figure out if my new series is really cozy. We came up with edgy cozy. Because you do see a body in the second book (still writing), there is blood, and I have procedural characters. Edgy cozy. If it was not a thing before, it is now.

Read it on Kindle, Nook, iPhone or in print now. Meanwhile, I’ll figure out how to market my book online. I did one Zoom presentation a while ago, and I wasn’t entirely happy with it. I was not in control, I’d do it different. If I knew how. Also I’m learning Canva so I can post nice photos. Marketing during Covid sure is different!

My writing partners: Vernie, Bob and Tom. I’m next to Tom.

      Thanks 😊 This is my second series and I learned a lot with the first one. I am hoping to write one every six months or so as it takes my publisher time to get it on the publication calendar.

    Congrats! I know what you mean. It’s hard not to include a little romance. I wonder why.

      Love has made me crazy but it’s also enriched my life. It adds a certain flavor to stories. Am I right? xo

      Thank you! I don’t think of it that way, so when you told me, it gave me such a lift!
