Available September 29, 2013: Beautiful Imperfection.

Would God bring her through cancer to die at the hands of killer?

New release, available January 1, 2013. If you’d like to see the first chapter, go to http://www.writewordsinc.com/knightday.html

This is a humorours mystery that takes place in Jacksonville, Florida. While it is not inspirational, there are no curse words or sex scenes in the book. It however, does have some minor innuendo. (FYI: The cover was done by my 19 year-old. The Dames Point Bridge stands in the background.)

Blurb:

A name can mean a lot. You expect a Jasper to be the CEO of a company. Name your son Phineas, well, he might get beat up a lot. However if you chose to call your daughter Trubleh (True blay), you get what you ask for.

Trubleh Lawrence makes a habit out of discovering dead bodies. When the police look to her as a suspect, she has no choice but to search for the killer. If that’s not bad enough she has to deal with a grandmother who has visions, a co-worker who makes the Wicked Witch of the West look like Shirley Temple, and a guy who constantly reminds her that celibacy is hard when a hot male’s around.

Here is the video prepared by my publisher for Breathless and Catch Your Breath. http://youtu.be/0j-PKKmXAwQ.

Breathless, available on e-book and in print from the author.

Lydia Frederickson is afraid to answer her telephone. Widowed and alone, she only wants to get through another anniversary of her husband’s death without falling to pieces, but a stalker isn’t making that goal easy. The disturbing calls are becoming increasingly personal and threatening, and everyone who knows her is suspect. The only person she knows isn’t making the calls is her new ponytailed, tattooed—and breathtakingly handsome— minister, Matthew Winters.
Former-narcotics-agent-turned-minister Matthew Winters knows he’s not what the town expected in their new pastor, but he’s up for the challenge. What he doesn’t expect is the sudden attraction he feels for parishioner Lydia Frederickson. When he discovers she’s the victim of a stalker, he feels God’s intervention has led him—both a cop and a preacher—to her. Matthew knows he’s falling for the beautiful widow, but a secret from his past may undermine their future. To order e-books: http://www.pelicanbookgroup.com/ec/index.php
