"The new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
If only we are brave enough to see it."

Amanda Gorman

Words That Inspire: The Writer's Corner

Welcome to my writing space, where stories come to life and words find their true form. Whether you're a fellow writer, a book lover, or just curious about the creative process, this blog is your front-row seat to the world behind the pages. Join me as I explore the art of storytelling, share writing tips, and dive into the adventures of my latest projects. Let's write, imagine, and inspire together!

Her ex-husband. His billionaire fiancée. One final negotiation. What could go wrong? With spunk in her step and humor as her shield, Emma faces her ex at the fabled Vanzetti estate to cut the final cords of their ill-fated marriage. When the demanding heiress threatens her, she erupts. Hours later, the bride-to-be gasps her last breath. The police zero in on Emma at her cozy nest at the corner of Apple Road and Apricot Lane. A hunky but stoic detective and his team unearth evidence that incriminates her. Evidence that can’t exist. Can it? Emma, still mourning her father’s death and armed only with her innocence, fights back. As she flounders, her cynical roommate, the elusive private investigator Stevie Rivers, teaches naïve Emma key lessons of detecting. Together, the stalwart and the cynic dive into Brandywine Valley’s world of wealth and equestrian eventing. Their wry banter deepens their friendship, but the cloud around Emma continues to thicken. They must unearth the real killer before cold steel doors close behind Emma.  But as the horses clear the cross-country hurdles, the murderer strikes again. Emma and Stevie must risk their lives in a deadly race to stop the killer before they become the next victims.
