Port Chatham Series
Pacific Northwest port towns have a fascinating history. For instance, did you know that the quaint and charming seaside village of Port Townsend, which today is filled with beautiful, refurbished Victorians and lush gardens, was once the second largest West Coast seaport? Or that its waterfront was infamous because thousands of sailors were shanghaiied? Or that virtually every other waterfront building was a brothel?
My Port Chatham mystery series juxtaposes these two perspectives of the quaint present-day seaside towns and their violent pasts. My heroine, Jordan Marsh, solves murders in both timeframes, usually aided by a meddling ghost or two who just happens to have been a suspect in the century-old crime. So if you have a hankering to read a bit about West Coast history, and if you enjoy humorous stories set in small towns, then you'll love this series.

Astoria Series
Where there's smoke...
Kaz Jorgensen is used to fear--the anxiety of negotiating treacherous currents as she captains her family's fishing trawlers, the terrifying nightmares of the day she almost lost her life on the river. But now a man is dead, an arsonist has set the Anna Marie ablaze, and her brother is missing.
There's fire...
Michael Chapman knows how to take the heat--as the new fire chief of Astoria, Oregon, he's dealt with more than his share. No way can he afford to get involved with the sister of a suspect. But the scorching attraction between him and Kaz burns out of control, and when someone takes a shot at her, his protective instincts kick in. Whatever happens, he can't allow another woman to die because of him.
