About me

Gender Female
Location Missouri, United States
Introduction I discovered the joys of Things British while on a month-long trip to England during my college years. Since then, I've been lured back nearly a dozen times, and lived there during my professional folksinging stint. This intimate knowledge of England forms the backbone of both of my Taylor & Graham and The McLaren Case mystery series. Set in Derbyshire, England, the Taylor & Graham series employs British customs as the backbone of each book’s plot. The McLaren Cases features ex-police detective Michael McLaren, who now investigates cold cases on his own. I am a member of Sisters in Crime, and Mystery Writers of America.
