MYSTERY SERIES


Welcome


CRAZY QUILT has just won a Willa Award for contemporary fiction!

CRAZY QUILT, published in 2005, is a departure from the mystery novels I’ve been writing in recent years. This book, about a woman, Flora Adams, whose body, marriage and spirit have been ravaged by cancer treatment but who fights her way back in a most unconventional way, is my first literary novel. One third of my royalties on CRAZY QUILT goes to the University of New Mexico Cancer Center for cancer research. When you buy this book, you're helping a worthy cause.

The Willa, named for Willa Cather, is given by Women Writing the West. You can read some of the wonderful reviews the book has received by logging on to Amazon.com.

THE KING'S NUN, a historical novel written under the pseudonymn Catherine Monroe, will be out in January 2007.

It's the story of Charlemagne and Amelia of the Ardennes, a nun, with whom he fell in love.

BAREFOOT GIRL, another historical novel, also written under the name, Catherine Monroe,is the story of Margaret the Barefooted and is set in 14th century Italy. It was released in 2005 also, and has received excellent reviews.

I'll have another literary novel out in 2008. It's called INHERITED SINS and is set in the 1940s in West Texas. It's the story of a young woman whose dark secret leads her into the arms of a young minister. Their love story is complicated by, among other things, the fact that the minister is married.
