Bite the Dust


Years of dreaming, praying, and lots of hard work have led to my first cozy mystery being published by BelleBooks. It's the first book in A Low Country Dog Walker Mystery series.

Here's the back cover blurb:

One steamy South Carolina morning, Low Country dog walker Andi Grace Scott discovers a client’s dead body. Police quickly decide she’s the prime suspect. Horrified, she knows she’ll have to turn detective if she’s going to convince them they’re barking up the wrong tree.

Proving her innocence could be a tall order. The local police never solved the hit-and-run that killed her parents; Andi Grace isn’t sure they’ll solve this crime either…not when they have a convenient suspect—one caught with the possible murder weapon in her hand. She’ll have follow every clue and call in every favor, even if that puts her in danger.

I've been asked to speak and sign books at Wesley Village in Wilmore, KY. If you're in the area on April 8 at 1:15, I'd love to meet you.

I'll also be signing books April 15 at The Lakes at Litchfield in Litchfield, South Carolina. I'm not sure about the time, but if you're interested I'll let you know.


While writing is hard work, it's also a joy. 

Through this journey I've been encouraged by my family and many good friends. 

Philemon 1:7 says, "Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people."

Friends

This past week I have reconnected with friends I haven't seen in years. Two couples we met for dinner on different nights. We laughed and talked over old times. We caught up on each others lives, and renewed our commitment to get together more often.
Tonight my husband and I were out walking the dog. We ran into a couple who moved to Colorado.  They were so happy to be back in Wilmore for a few days and reconnect with old friends.
The thing all these couples have in common is their Christian walk. Being around these couples was uplifting and brought me joy.
It made me want to be more like them. I want to be a vessle God can use to bring joy to others.
Thank you Jennie, David, Karen, David, Claire and Russ for challenging me. And thank you for spreading the joy of Jesus!
