Let the journey begin, as Josie Posey, a big city crime reporter turned crime solver settles into a quiet life in middle America.


Josie Posey, a big city crime reporter turned crime solver, has officially retired to a small, touristy town in middle America where she and her posse of friends "unofficially" have their noses in everything.


Josie loves her new life, but a weekly game of mahjong isn't enough: she itches to get back into the action, making headlines and solving crimes. She gets more than she bargained for when The Village Gazette asks her to interview their local celebrity, a former NYC prima ballerina.


Hours later, the ballerina's husband is discovered dead--face down in the couple's beloved field of flowers. Now Josie has the inside track on both: writing the story and solving the murder, with her quirky Mahjong Mavens as useful sidekicks.



And if a killer in their midst wasn't enough distraction, Josie's matchmaking friends are pushing her to date again--particularly to pursue an attraction toward a certain local blacksmith, with whom sparks fly.


I hope you'll join me for this first book in the Josie Posey mystery series. Now available in paperback, ebook and audiobook.

If you’ve ever felt like the famous White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, racing from place to place and never quite arriving on time, this information might help. As a reformed “tardy” person, I’m all-too-familiar with that sinking feeling that — despite my best intentions — I’m going to be late to the meeting.
