I’m excited to announce that my new publisher, Anamcara Press, has reissued and rebranded my first four Sydney Lockhart mysteries and published two new ones. With the release of Murder at the Luther, the task is complete!

My Sydney Lockhart mystery series takes place in the early 1950s, a decade experiencing a profound renaissance. It was a time when the American Dream was in everyone’s grasp. The country’s forecast was bright and encouraging, even for young women who planned to claim their independence and make their mark on the world — thus, the setting of this lighthearted, fast-paced series.

Each story takes place in a different historic hotel. The protagonist, Sydney Jean Lockhart, a reporter-cum-PI, arrives on the scene and soon finds herself embroiled in a murder, often as a suspect. Too outspoken and impertinent for her own good, Sydney often makes her situation worse before solving the crime. Assisted by her wealthy, fashion-conscience cousin, Ruth Echland, the two modern women make nuisances of themselves while trying to stay one step ahead of the killers.
