Currently, I am working on several novels.
The Death of an Angel
In THE DEATH OF AN ANGEL, All Good People Here meets Field of Blood in the Bible Belt as an inexperienced newspaper reporter risks her job to become tangled in a homicide investigation. Disgraced rookie reporter Brooke Jacobs is independently investigating a story that could salvage her broken career when she stumbles over a major scoop: a farmer has discovered a dead child in his abandoned barn.
The tragic news story goes viral. Yet Brooke is heartbroken that the little girl remains unidentified. As police search for the killer among the farmers and migrant workers in this small Alabama town, Brooke suspects the murder may be linked to her other story, the recent spike in opioid overdoses on the farms surrounding the crime scene, and continues to research.
Soon the investigations collide. But the situation is more explosive than anyone imagined. When danger strikes close to the newsroom, Brooke realizes her single-minded pursuit of the truth might cost her both the job she loves and her life. The book should appeal to fans of Mindy Mejia’s Iowa series and Robert Gold’s Ben Harper series.
A Certain Slant of Light
In A CERTAIN SLANT OF LIGHT, a young teen, Kellyn survived sex trafficking. For years she’s been haunted by what she had to do to survive and the memories of the other girls who weren’t as lucky. Now she’s determined to make a new life for herself, one where no one else–including the man she’s in love with–knows the truth. Only two people stand in her way. One is long dead. The other has his own agenda–and this time, she might not survive.
The Color of Bones
In THE COLOR OF BONES, Anna Kate, a police officer, is indicted in the shooting of an unarmed man. Her biracial teenage daughter Caddy is torn. Despite their estrangement, she loves her mother. Anna Kate’s lied before, though, and she’s kept important secrets from her only child. Just recently Caddy discovered that her late father was African-American . . . just like her mother’s unarmed victim. Is it a coincidence?
Her mother is also torn. She’s uncertain exactly what happened the night she shot her former street informant, but she knows there was a witness who fled the scene. Police investigators haven’t found the young man, but are they even trying?
A growing protest to the shooting throws their lives further into turmoil. As Anna Kate ruthlessly seeks the missing witness among the protesters, Caddy is equally determined to protect one of them.
