Fans of JANET EVANOVICH and CLEO COYLE will love this series! Finding a body was bad enough but seeing grandpa naked traumatized me in ways even Freud couldn't unravel. ARMED The pungent aroma of a leaf fire came to me on a sudden breeze & I knew everything was right for murder. POISONED Hunky new husband. Check. Honeymoon in Europe. Check. Dead body. Wait...what? FLOSSED My story starts two hours ago, before all the guests arrived and one of them had the nerve to die and ruin my party. MAHJONGED Why would a butcher kill his vegan wife? Then I tasted kale. SMOKED Stolen Nazi art, chocolate and a pickle. This book's a hoot. PICKLED When Sheldon Spiegel comes to town and has the nerve to die right before Alex's out-of-town guests arrive, she asks her husband if he could solve the crime by say, noonish. GUNNED Alex Harris thinks finding a place to celebrate her one-year anniversary sounds like a good idea, but when her husband arrests her sister for murder she has some serious thoughts about staying married to the guy! NAILED Alex Harris was looking forward to a girls get-away with family and friends—nice dinners, walks on the beach, and playing games in the evenings—but then a tour of a local chocolate factory leads to the discovery of a body, and Alex realizes it’s just the thing to liven up the week—her own real-life version of Clue. DIPPED Alex Harris Van Der Burg never expected a trip to the car dealership would lead to murder. All she wanted was an oil change. But when she witnesses a man sending an ominous-sounding text, and then that same evening attends a Christmas party where she sees the body of an elderly woman fall from the balcony of a vacant building, she’s positive the two things are connected—but can she convince the police? DECKED Maybe I was headed down the wrong path but it was in Europe so at least it would be scenic. FRIED CALAMARI LOOKS A LOT LIKE ONION RINGS, a memoir I love mysteries! I like reading them, solving them, and as it turns out, I like to write them as well. I currently have ten books in my Alex Harris mystery series available: ARMED, POISONED, FLOSSED, MAHJONGED, SMOKED, PICKLED, GUNNED, NAILED, DIPPED, DECKED and ICED. As you can see, they have fun names, and they're fun to read. I want to entertain you and along with a good mystery you'll have a hard time solving, I want you to have a smile on your face, too, so I keep them light with plenty of quirky characters. Alex, my protagonist, is addicted to M&M's so you might want to grab a bag before you start reading! Oh, and make yourself a cup of tea, too. Preferably Earl Grey! If you prefer your books on audio, I have great news. NAILED, is now available on audio. NAILED is narrated by Michelle Babb and I know you're going to love the way she brings the characters to life. You can read more about Michelle here: http://adbl.co/29c1Qve I've also released FRIED CALAMARI LOOKS A LOT LIKE ONION RINGS. It's a lighthearted memoir about my years living in Belgium. I went to Europe for a one-week vacation and met and fell in love with a local and stayed for 12 years! See, I'm impulsive, too, and that keeps my life interesting. I'm also working on a sequel about moving back to America and re-acclimating, which was harder than I thought it would be! Besides writing, I also love traveling. I'm a native New Englander and my mysteries combine my love of Europe and New England, with each book having a European connection. I've created the fictional town of Indian Cove, but if you look closely, you might recognize it as Milford, Connecticut. I hope you'll follow the links to buy the books or join me on my author page on Facebook. Happy reading and I would love to hear from you!
