MULTIPLE MOTIVES, A Kate Huntington Mystery
Psychotherapist Kate Huntington is “a wonderful character—a strong female lead, compassionate and loyal.” She helps others cope with the trauma in their lives, but she herself has led a charmed life...until a killer rips it apart. Who holds a murderous grudge against her and her closest friends, and doesn’t seem to care if others get caught in the crossfire?

An Unsaintly Season in St. Augustine, A Kate on Vacation Mystery
Even on vacation, Kate can't seem to stay out of other people's messes... While in Florida for the Christmas holidays, she and her PI husband get caught up in trying to find a friend of Kate’s parents who’s gone missing. They soon discover that this isn’t just a case of a senior citizen wandering off. Can they reunite the elderly man with his wife before Christmas, or will others who mean him harm find him first?

To Kill A Labrador, A Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery
(Note: no dogs die in this series; titles are takeoffs from books, movies, etc.)
Marcia Banks (pronounced Mar-see-a, not Marsha) likes to think of herself as a normal person, even though she has a rather abnormal vocation. She trains service dogs for military veterans with PTSD. And when the former Marine owner of her first trainee is accused of murdering his wife, Marcia gets sucked into an even more abnormal avocation—amateur sleuth.
Called in to dog-sit the Labrador service dog, Buddy, she’s outraged that his veteran owner’s neighbors are assuming he’s guilty. With Buddy’s help, she tries to uncover the real killer. Even after the hunky local sheriff politely tells her to butt out, Marcia keeps poking around. Until the killer finally pokes back...

Lethal Assumptions, A C.o.P. on the Scene Mystery
Fans of JA Jance’s Sheriff Joanna Brady and JD Robb’s Eve Dallas will love this new female cop on the scene! Judith Anderson’s no-nonsense attitude and confidence served her well in her climb to homicide lieutenant in Baltimore County, but that confidence is shaken when she finds herself one step behind a serial killer—eight days into her new job as Chief of Police in a small Florida city.
With a leak in her department, who can she trust? In a race to save lives, she’ll draw on every talent and instinct that made her a star in Baltimore. But will that be enough this time?
