‘Perseus Corbett’ Gets Another Review!
Mary Catelli's Erratically Updated and Exceedingly Unorganized Journal (she forget 'Delightfully Named') has a brief, but delightful review of Perseus Corbett and the Forbidden Valley, which can be found here.

Coming Soon: ‘A Gentleman Instructed’
Very excited to finally announce my next publication: a very different kind of project than any I've done before, and one that I've been working on again and off again for a year or more (I once thought it would be ready in April, which is either a testament to hope or an indictment of … Continue reading Coming Soon: ‘A Gentleman Instructed’

The Dress Shop Doll: A Malachi Burke Mystery
I had seen her – it – many times, of course. It sat in the corner of the glass cabinet, propped up among the many relics and trophies of my friend and mentor Malachi Burke’s celebrated career as a detective; an ugly little rag-doll in a blue-checked dress, with black curls of yarn and a … Continue reading The Dress Shop Doll: A Malachi Burke Mystery
