Every year before Memorial Day, I pick up flags from the Adams County Veterans Office and place them on the graves of veterans at Lower Marsh Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery outside Gettysburg. Many of the veterans buried there fought in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, but most of “my veterans” are from the Revolutionary…

How an assignment for a luxury travel magazine unexpectedly became the inspiration for a dual-timeline mystery novel. People (the ones who know me) sometimes laugh when they see my work appear in luxury travel magazines because they know I’m just a country girl from Gettysburg. Don’t get me wrong—I absolutely love beautiful historic hotels, elegant…

Keep reading to find out how to enter The Monarch Alliance VIP Giveaway. Welcome to all my new readers—and a warm hello to those who’ve been with me for a while. I’m really glad you’re here. No matter how you found your way here, I’ve got something a little different to share this week. Here’s…

This past weekend was one I won’t soon forget. I had the pleasure of signing copies of The Monarch Alliance at the Annual Blossom Festival at the National Apple Museum—a place that is located just north of Gettysburg and is rooted in history.

April 21, 2026, is release day for The Monarch Alliance Today’s the day… the one I’ve been waiting for since last fall when I finally wrote, The End on the manuscript of The Monarch Alliance.

In a landscape filled with new releases, it’s the…

There’s something about seeing a story come to life that makes it all feel real. With just one week until my new historical mystery novel The Monarch Alliance releases, I’m excited to share the official book trailer: Set against the backdrop of a historic Hudson Valley resort, The Monarch Alliance weaves together a present-day investigation…

As most of you know, I have a new mystery novel coming out this month… but I’ll be honest—The Monarch Alliance isn’t for everyone. And that’s by design. There are plenty of books out there that are easy, predictable, and straightforward. This isn’t one of them. If anything, it leans in the opposite direction. If…

And The Monarch Alliance Doesn’t Release Until April 21 I’ve always been a little curious about what makes someone stop and add a book (like… say, a mystery novel) to their shelf on Goodreads—or to their physical bookshelf, for that matter. Is it the cover that catches your eye first? An author you like? A…

Hello, friends, this week I’m sharing a sneak peek of my historical mystery The Monarch Alliance—and the story behind how it came to be. It all began with a simple hotel review assignment. I arrived at Mohonk Mountain House as a travel blogger, expecting to write about its Victorian charm, mountain views, and rich history.…
