Hello Reader,

There are sixteen books in the Jill Quint, MD murder mystery series. Each story takes place in a different locale. Dr. Jill Quint is the main character and a forensic pathologist by profession. She used to work in a state crime lab but left after becoming disillusioned with the bureaucracy and politics surrounding it. She now runs a vineyard in California's central valley that produces Moscato wine.

Jill teams up with her three closest friends, who live in another part of the country, to try and solve a mystery. Each of her friends has special skills that help to get the job done. This series is a classic mystery, akin to James Patterson's Women's Murder Club. Pick up one of the books today!

In 2016, I introduced a brand new character: Damian Green, a talented engineer whose world had been shattered seven years ago with the passing of his wife and children. He lives off the coast of San Francisco in a private island (it's true!) and helps out an ex-cop from the San Jose PD. Red Rock Island was published that same year, followed by 5 additional books in that series.

2021 saw the launch of my third series - a blend of thriller and urban fantasy. Michelle Watson is a CIA operative who uses her special ability of teleportation to protect the US and the world from evildoers.

In 2023, I launched an Urban Fantasy series featuring Dr. Stephanie Jones, an ER physician who comes into contact with the fae world.

Finally, I started a new series in 2026 featuring Lori Dalton and her crew of ex-spies who are active 60-somethings solving crimes in Door County, Wisconsin in between pickleball games.

I'm an avid reader of mystery (mostly) and Urban Fantasy and romance (rarely) and I've recently started exploring the paranormal mystery genre. My life has been on a journey around the United States, having lived in California (both Northern and Southern), New York City, Green Bay, WI, and Gainesville, FL. My blog is hosted on my website. Writing mysteries is like embarking on a grand adventure - I have to conceive of unexpected plot twists and deepening storylines to make the story more engaging.

I hope you will enjoy these stories!
