Ever wondered what life at an artist retreat is like? What about an artist retreat visited by murder most foul?

Introducing a new character, and a new series, Death of a Muse is the story of a cat and a damaged artist, both wrestling with death.

Here’s the teaser

David Peeler, a sculptor poised for a brilliant career and an equally anticipated marriage, loses it all at the point of a knife.

In a last-ditch effort to find a gleam of his former sparkle, David attends an artist retreat where he enjoys the companionship of Muse, the resident tabby.

Until someone kills the cat.

Proving who did it may be the key to getting it all back, if he can solve her murder before he shares her fate.

Take a look at what I put together to share my new book with you!

I’m always working on more stories, more extras and bonuses for my readers. Stay tuned to what’s coming. There’s a live action trailer for Nocturne In Ashes in the works. And a couple audio files, as well.

 And more exciting news!

My story, I Am Not A Crook, just won second prize in The Write Practice Spring contest. It’s short and not very sweet. In fact, it’s downright smelly. Why not give it a read and see if you agree with the judges? For a peek at the trailer, click here.
