What I'm working on now -
a new, light paranormal, mystery series for Penguin
starring Kath Rutledge, a textile preservationist, who
inherits her grandmother's wool shop in Blue Plum,
Tennessee, and also ends up with a depressed
ghost on her hands. I like to think of it as the series
that puts the woo woo in wool.

the independent-bookstore-owner-sleuth, entertains
us as much as Nero Wolf's smart aleck sidekick,
Archie Goodwin."
