My latest cozy mystery, Let No Clan Put Asunder, just received 5++ stars from N. N. Light’s Book Heaven. Woohoo! What a wonderful way to start the day! Here’s a snippet of the review:

“The narration and world-building suck you into the story. The characters are relatable and mysterious. The gothic vibe is woven throughout this story. Truly, I couldn’t put Let No Clan Put Asunder down…I can’t wait for the next book in the series.”

If you’re interested, you can read the whole review here. The Gothic Gwyn Mysteries are also being featured on The Mystery Section Blog, where you can enter the giveaway to win e-copies of both books in the series. Check it out here.

I’m excited to reveal the cover of my upcoming release, Let No Clan Put Asunder! A big thanks to Dar Albert of Wicked Smart Designs! This is the second of The Gothic Gwyn Mysteries, and I’ll let you know the release date soon. Until then, here’s the scoop on the story:

“It was no small thing to marry into the Donnachaidh clan, and there was nowhere to hide from its past.”

So states the tagline of the gothic mystery Gwyneth Camm discovers out of place—not once, but twice—inside her newly inherited Salem home. Her deceased Aunt Ethel seems determined she read the book, and once again, Gwyn finds herself sucked into a gothic romance, inhabiting the body of its heroine.

This time, she’s a young bride in 1970 on her way to a clifftop castle that harbors secrets, Scottish legacies, hidden malice, and…a vampire? Only by learning the truth can she return to her own life, where yet another puzzle awaits.

That’s it for now, but stay tuned. Have a wonderful day! 🙂
