A gorgeous day in San Jose, the first of many spring and summer days, I hope. Have been reviewing the mock-up covers for my new mystery book, Murder is a Family Business. The graphic artist is quite talented. This is very exciting. Can’t wait for its release January 1st! But first the book needs to go thru the editing process. Hope that comes out as well as the book jacket has.

Love Can Be Murder
Playful Mysteries for Lovers of Playful Banter
My latest books are a spin-off of the Alvarez books focusing on the romance between Lee Alvarez and Gurn Hanson. These two love birds are still solving mysteries, but these books are lighter in tone, with less emphasis on the bang of a gun and more emphasis on the bang chemistry you get when two firecrackers make spark after spark.
In the first book, Honeymoons Can Be Murder Lee Alvarez goes to Hawaii, and mystery awaits. In the second book, Marriage Can Be Murder, our newlyweds take on noir detective tropes when they have to find who's trying to kill a fading movie star.
