Welcome Dark Alley Detectives!

Begin Reading the Book Here

January’s question (as I deep-dive into researching our next series):

What’s your favorite historical mystery trope? Do you love a good female amateur sleuth? Rather read a male detective? Isolated settings? Jump-scares? A dark family secret? Some romance woven through?

On the other hand, what’s your biggest pet peeve with books you read? Personally, I hate ending a book on a cliff-hanger and characters who can’t make up their mind.

Let me know via Reply, Comments, or Notes and let’s make this a conversation.

Meanwhile…

Chapter drops for Loveda Brown: Boston Burglar begin next week. I love writing first-person female amateur sleuths! Allow me to introduce you to our protagonist:

Imminent unemployment, alligators on her birthday, and a dead man in her bedroom... What can possibly go wrong? Loveda Brown is a governess for a wealthy 1911 Boston family, but things are about to get complicated.

The August heat could be blamed for short tempers and frizzy curls, but only Loveda Brown would know how a dead man landed in her third-floor bedroom unannounced. Or would she? The clock ticks down as Loveda and her best friend Bea try to untangle the mystery while her future becomes dimmer than a sixteen-watt lightbulb.

Can she take the heat? Or will the truth shock her world?

For Mrs. Dulaney, Mrs. Calabria, and fifth grade teachers everywhere.
You are changing lives every day.
