Since you asked: I fell in love with mysteries when my mother read Perry Mason to me at bedtime. I wrote her first book after giving up my writing career to be a stay-at-home mom. The first installment in my Joshua Thornton mysteries, A Small Case of Murder was named Independent Publisher Book Awards finalist. My new series, The Mac Faraday Mysteries, is set in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. The first book in this series, It’s Murder, My Son, will be released this summer. On a personal note, I live with my husband, son, and two dogs (a beagle that has delusions of being a rottweiler and an Australian Sepherd) on a mountaintop in West Virginia.
