My new mystery, Lost Little Sister (North Star Press), launches Sept. 8th. Here's the synopsis:

Kelly Dolan has been missing for nine years. The college graduate was preparing to start her life with a new job in a new city when she vanished over Labor Day Weekend. For almost a decade, her sister Quinn has been searching for her. After an armed robbery at a lakeside store turns to murder, she becomes convinced a serial killer is targeting the small town of Hogan but can’t convince the police.

This story is about families and the love we have for each other. It's about how hard we'll search for those who are lost and how we'll fight to remember those we miss.

I just did an interview with the Invisible Ships podcast and it was fantastic! They are investigating the Circleville Letter Writer in their upcoming season and found MURDER IN THE HEART OF IT ALL during their research. It was fun talking about what we thought the letter writer's motivations might be and how that factored into my story. I'll post an update when the episode is released.

I received some great news this week. LOST LITTLE SISTER is a finalist in the Fiction: Mystery/Thriller category for the Midwest Book Awards 2021!

I'm honored to be nominated because I really love this book. The story is set in Northeast Ohio, which is where I live, and draws on people and places from here. It's a small town mystery about a woman missing for nine years. The cold case catches the attention of reporter Tim Abernathy when he's contacted by a private investigator hired by the woman's family. Together, they reopen the case and follow it through to its stunning conclusion.
