MURDER! At Christmas Tree Village
​AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!
When snow falls on the pines of Twelve Oaks, Christmas cheer fills the air—until a shocking murder shatters the peace.

​   When local business owner Hank Tolleson is found dead beneath the twinkling lights of the town’s Christmas Tree Village, the festive season turns deadly. For Edna Barnes, head of the Christmas Tree Society, it’s personal. Determined not to let the town’s most cherished event—or her reputation—be ruined, Edna and her friends trade tinsel for detective work.
But when a snowstorm traps them in the middle of a web of secrets, rivalries, and deceit, Edna learns that even the jolliest town hides a few Scrooges as Twelve Oaks becomes a puzzle wrapped in snow and tied with lies.

   Edna must untangle the truth before the killer strikes again—because this Christmas, goodwill toward men might just get her killed.

Some streets take you home. Others take you to the place where healing begins…

After a tragic loss, Millie Devonshire travels to Florence with her dear friends Edith and Joy, hoping to find peace among the golden light and cobbled streets of Florence.
    But what begins as a quiet retreat soon turns into an unexpected adventure when the trio befriends Leesa, a young American waitress with a bruised heart, a secret passion for cooking, and a boss who controls more than just the restaurant. Playing matchmaker for Leesa and the charming chef’s son, Matteo, gives Millie a renewed sense of purpose.
    As the women stroll through Renaissance piazzas, make Ribollita in a Tuscan cooking class, and share stories beneath the glow of trattoria lights, they find themselves not only soaking in the beauty of Florence—but experience healing for their souls.
    With laughter, love, and the quiet grace of second chances, The Streets of Florence is a warm, uplifting novel about friendship, finding joy again after loss, and discovering that sometimes the best way forward is one step, one dish, one shared secret at a time.

It came for vengeance but found hope deeper than the universe.

When an alien warrior crash-lands on Earth, it has one mission—hunt down the human who murdered its offspring. But without a physical form suited for survival, the alien takes control of the nearest host: a grieving woman on the outskirts of a quiet town.
​ The need for vengeance burns hotter than ever, but the alien is faced with an unexpected dilemma: Is justice found in bloodshed, or is there another way?
