A new series in development

Whiskey Pines Mysteries

Somebody got away with murder. Roxie’s grandmother can travel to whenever it happened.

Roxie Maxx has a cold-case murder to solve, a telepathic Bichon with opinions, and a grandmother who can cross time. Roxanne brings the past within reach. Contessa, her magical cat, brings a running feud with Kenzie. Ethan, the handsome, wealthy farmer next door, gives Roxie a reason to reconsider her position on men.

This series combines the Whiskey Pines mysteries with Roxanne’s World. Cold-case murder, time travel, and Ethan’s romance belong in the same story from the beginning. Book One’s title and release date will be announced when settled.

The two published Pines & Needles books remain in their own series. You do not need to wait for eight crafting mysteries before beginning the new Whiskey Pines series.
