Bernie is back… and he has opinions!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you’re celebrating with something green and something cozy. 

The newest Brynn and Bernie adventure is officially live, and this one has been so much fun to write.

The Ogre in the Office

David Holloway thought he’d found the perfect investment. A historic Deadwood property with good bones and better potential. In other words, exactly what his co-working space concept needed.

Brynn Sullivan knows better than to trust a building that feels wrong the moment she walks through the door.

Something is watching from the shadows of the Keystone Building. Something that has spent decades making sure its secrets stay buried. But it isn’t the only presence here… there’s a quieter one has been waiting a very long time for someone to finally listen.

Bernie naturally, has opinions about this.

Some ghosts want to be found. Some are desperate to stay hidden. And somewhere in the middle is a truth that deserves to see the light.

Brynn and Bernie are going to make sure it does.

On the writing front, I’m wrapping up a new project and then diving straight into the next Clowder Cats book: A Gem of a Mystery. I can’t wait to see what Eden and the crew get into this time. (Knowing them, trouble finds them first.)

Until next time, happy reading!

Finn and Briar Return! (Plus release updates!)

Your favorite duo is back and they’ve got one heck of a case on their paws!

A Guide to Helping a Friend

A celebrity chef. A hometown restaurant. A murder that could destroy everything.

When a famous TV chef arrives in town, Meggie Dolan is finally on the brink of her big break. A feature at her beloved restaurant, the Robin’s Roost, could change her life forever.

Instead, the celebrity ends up dead… right in Meggie’s kitchen.

With suspicion closing in and the future of the Robin’s Roost on the line, Tessa Windsor has no choice but to step in. Armed with her quiet magical talents, sharp instincts, and her ever-watchful animal companions, Tessa must uncover the truth before her best friend is served up as the prime suspect.

Because this time, murder isn’t just on the menu, it’s threatening everything Tessa holds dear.

I hope you enjoy it!

I’ve got a great plan put together for new releases this year (God willing and the creek don’t rise). I plan on releasing two books each for the following series: Razzy Cat, Clowder Cats, Millie, and, of course, Finn and Briar. The Brynn and Bernie series will have at least one, possibly two new books in 2026.

Just like last year, there won’t be a new release in February. It gives me a little breathing room, and will allow me to launch a new project. It’s super secret so far, but I’ll give you a little hint: If you enjoy books by Heather Fawcett, India Holton, Travis Baldree, T Kingfisher, or Sangu Mandanna, (and countless other incredibly talented authors), click here to fill out my form to be notified when it’s launched!

But that doesn’t mean February won’t have anything special going on. In honor of the 5 year book-a-versarie for the Escape Room series, it’s getting a nice makeover, including new titles and new covers. It will be coming off of Kindle Unlimited, so if you use that and haven’t read those three books yet, here’s your chance to do it on that platform. On February 15th, they’ll be available everywhere books are sold (online and paperbacks available to order in stores) and in Kobo Plus if you use that platform.

As I hinted previously, I’m also working on special edition paperbacks for all the current books, and I’ll be doing some exciting things with audiobooks this year as well. They’re overdue and I’m really looking forward to that.

I couldn’t do any of these things without you, and as we start this brand new year, I’d like to take a moment to thank each one of you! This has been a long post and I appreciate you taking the time to read it.

It’s Finally Here!

The new Razzy is now available on Amazon! It took me longer than I would have liked, but I hope you enjoy it! (And thank goodness I managed to get it done before Christmas!)

It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Golden Hills… until Christmas gifts begin disappearing all over town. As holiday cheer gives way to suspicion and side-eye, Hannah, Razzy, and the boys leap into action, determined to catch the culprit before Christmas is ruined.

But missing presents aren’t the only trouble brewing this season.

Ben’s mother arrives for the holidays… and she’s less than delighted to meet the woman her son just got engaged to… or their feline partners in crime.

With clues stacking up, tensions running high, and Christmas Eve fast approaching, it’ll take the whole team to unwrap the truth before the final bell tolls at midnight.

In other exciting news, all of my ebooks will soon be available in libraries! They’re slowly being added into the Hoopla catalog, and most are already available through Overdrive (Libby), CloudLibrary, Odilo, and BorrowBox.

In order to borrow the books, you may need to request that your library carry them. It would be incredibly helpful if you have a few minutes on your hands and could do that. I truly appreciate you!

More exciting updates to come, including some special edition paperbacks, and other cool stuff!

Wishing each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the peace, love, and joy on Earth. I’m off to start writing the next Finn and Briar mystery!

Finn and Briar are Back!

Happy August!

Things are definitely heating up in Collinsville, Colorado which means Finn and Briar are in for one heck of an adventure!

Tessa Windsor expected her overnight trek with a group of stargazing astronomers to be a peaceful escape. Instead, the morning brings a chilling discovery…

With her magical abilities and her loyal animal companions by her side, Tessa dives into the investigation. But with tempers flaring, secrets simmering, and trust in short supply, every step brings her closer to danger.

Can she solve the case before the stars fade… or will the darkness strike again?

What’s Millie Up to Now?

Millie Cat is back and she’s in the midst of an exciting adventure with Olivia, and, of course, the quilting ladies.

Life in Timber Falls is finally starting to calm down… Well, as much as it can since Olivia discovered Millie can talk. But just as they start to settle into a routine, a surprising discovery in the bookstore turns everything upside down.

Tucked away in a forgotten box is a mysterious manuscript. At first glance, it seems like nothing more than a dusty old story. But as Olivia digs deeper, she realizes there’s more to these pages than meets the eye.

With Millie at her side and the help of her close-knit circle of friends, Olivia is drawn into a mystery that’s been buried for decades. What she uncovers could change Timber Falls forever.

Because in this town, the wildest stories aren’t always fiction…

What’s Razzy Up to Now?

After back-to-back mysteries, Hannah, Razzy, Ben, and the gang are more than ready for a well-earned getaway.

But paradise doesn’t last long…

Ben has a secret plan in the works, but before he can put it into action, a body turns up on the shore. Suddenly, their peaceful vacation turns into a full-blown investigation. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes.

Join Razzy and the crew in this sun-soaked mystery that’s full of heart, humor, and unexpected turns. You won’t want to miss this latest installment in the Razzy Cat Cozy Mystery series!
