The day has arrived - Grand Ridge, available now!

Buy now.

Two years in the making, three books so far in the story, and today, October 16, is finally release day! Grand Ridge, the third (but not final) book in the Big Sky Lake Series, is now available in paperback and digital formats.

Can you jump into this book without having read the first two? Absolutely. Grand Ridge has its own romance and can be enjoyed as a standalone. Would I still love for you to visit Big Sky Lake #1 and Fire Canyon #2 first? Also yes! Each book introduces a new couple while bringing readers back to the same welcoming small-town of Big Sky Lake Montana.

This story is filled with love, ambition, and the tension between the haves and the have-nots. At its heart are a beautiful musician and a handsome ski resort general manager whose lives collide against a wintry mountain backdrop. Expect heartfelt moments, complicated choices, plenty of chemistry, and all the charm of a close-knit community where everyone seems to know everyone else’s business.

So wax those skis and boards, bundle up, and get ready to hit the slopes of Grand Ridge. I’m so excited to share this next chapter of the Big Sky Lake Series with you. ❤️

Book review: Goodnight Beautiful by Aimee Molloy

Goodnight Beautiful is a superb domestic thriller that will smack you in the face if you’re not paying close enough attention. And you’ll deserve it, too.

There were more “what the heck?” moments in Aimee Molloy’s Goodnight Beautiful that I can possibly recall. More than once I found myself stopping and re-reading a section to make sure that the twist Molloy just nailed me with was deserved or just a shady sleight of hand. It turns out each time was well deserved.

I’ve said it before—I love to be fooled and Molloy got me with this one. No spoilers here because you should experience it too.

Psychotherapist Sam Statler goes missing after recently returning to his hometown of Chestnut Hill, New York. Sam is recently married, something he and his wife of 13 or so weeks celebrate every single week. Newlyweds, right?

Sam is back in town to help care for his ailing mother and sets up a practice in town in the basement of a beautiful old home with some special quirks.

The journey to find Sam and who we as the reader are trusting, are the driving elements of this exceptionally crafted work of art. There are moments where some of the narration may seem needlessly tedious, but it’s certainly all done for effect and often with a sarcastic wit. One of our unreliable narrators is a real gem.

Some reviewers have (wrongly) compared this novel to one of Stephen King’s most famous works. Again, no spoilers, so figure it out yourself. I will say, King doesn’t own this idea any more than Molloy, who has definitely staked a claim for queen of this genre.

4/5 stars, recommended

Release day is around the corner; I'm pumped

I’m super excited to introduce you to my buddy, James Bell, next week in my new novel An Agreement We Made. James is a stay-at-home dad just trying to keep his three kids on the straight and narrow. Life isn’t so bad, if you don’t count his workaholic wife Tina, who earns a bundle, but physically and emotionally absent. When Tina suddenly dies, my guy’s life is turned upside down. Money – gone. Security – gone. But why? James sets off to figure out why his wife left him and the kids with nothing. The more he digs about his wife, the further he gets from answers.

This is a story about a modern marriage, the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day and the secrets we keep from everyone.

New novel coming June 2, 2021

I’m very excited to announce that on June 2, 2021, I will release my fifth novel, An Agreement We Made. This family life fiction novel has been in the works for nearly three years, and I’m overjoyed to release it on paperback and ebook this summer. Kindle pre-orders are up now on Amazon.

An Agreement We Made
James is a stay-at-home dad, with a comfortable life of dance recitals and school volunteer work, despite his complicated marriage to workaholic Tina. When Tina suddenly dies, James struggles as a single parent to his three children, without the safety net and sizable income his wife once provided. For the sake of his family, he’s forced to return to a past he’d much rather leave alone.

As James’ world crumbles, he begins to question if he ever really knew his wife. Why did she want him to be the primary parent, while she stayed on the fringe of their marriage? And now that she’s gone, will he ever learn why she drained their bank accounts before her death? 

An Agreement We Made is an examination of a modern marriage, the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day, and the secrets we keep from everyone.
