Pour yourself a cup of tea—or, if you're more like me, perhaps a nice glass of wine—and
stay awhile.

Behind every book lies another story, and here you'll find many of mine: the places that
inspired my fictional village, the pets who wandered onto the pages of my novels, the ideas
that sent me tumbling down literary rabbit holes, and the recipes, travels, and discoveries
that have shaped my writing journey.
Whether you discovered my mysteries through Dickens & Christie, Prentiss & Parker, or a recommendation from a friend, I'm delighted you're here.

Think of this as your invitation to step a little farther behind the scenes and explore the
stories behind my stories.
