Thanks for stopping by. I'm the award-winning author of the Revolutionary War mysteries, which include The Turncoat's Widow, The Counterfeit Wife, and The Paris Mistress. All three novels were nominated for an Agatha Award, and The Paris Mistress was the 2025 IPPY gold medal winner for "best mystery."

 

My stories feature Becca Parcell and Daniel Alloway—George Washington's two least likely spies—as they search for traitors in Revolutionary-era Morristown, New York City,  Philadelphia, and Paris. Each story includes fictionalized versions of real events and people, from George Washington and Benjamin Franklin to lesser known figures like Esther Reed, who wrote the American women were born for liberty. 

​

I was an attorney and volunteer advocate for foster children before becoming a full-time writer. When I'm not writing, you can find me at The Writers Circle Workshops teaching mystery writing, blogging about all things mystery as one of the Miss Demeanors (www.missdemeanors.com), or online at the Historical Novel Society interviewing other authors. I live with my husband in Somerset County, New Jersey, not too far from Morristown, where my first book is set.

I love hearing from readers and invite you to get in touch!
