Digital ASIN: B07FMQB68G
Josiah joins an amateur thespian group that puts on plays in quirky places like public parks and crumbling antebellum mansions. It is a way to socialize, and Josiah feels lonely when her friend Hunter stops calling. Since the new play is being staged at Hunter’s ancestral home Wickliffe Manor, Josiah sees this as a win-win situation. She gets to have fun and remind Hunter that she is still alive and kicking. Hint. Hint.
What could go wrong? Everything!
Hunter ignores the acting group including Josiah, and it doesn’t help when the leading lady, Madison Smythe, drops dead on Hunter’s antique Persian rug. To make matters worse, Franklin, Hunter’s brother, is arrested for her murder!
Josiah does the only thing she can. She sends an S.O.S. to her daughter Asa to investigate the murder. Asa must also discover why a love note from Hunter was found in the dead woman’s coat pocket. Josiah is ready for romance, but she doesn’t want to fall in love with a cheater . . . and possibly a murderer!
Interview with the Author
What initially got you interested in writing?
I wrote a little story in the second grade called Bobby Bobo Got Baptized at the Big Bone Baptist Church. Bobby Bobo was a real country music singer on the Midwestern Hayride Show from Cincinnati, Ohio. He did get baptized at my church. My teacher called my mother about my writing abilities. From that time on, my mother pushed education, education, education. I later rewrote the story from a more adult perspective. It is to be part of a collection of autobiographical stories.
What genres do you write in?
I write soft mysteries, high fantasy, and happily-ever-after romance stories.
What drew you to writing these specific genres?
A writer has more than one type of story in her/him and should be able to express themselves with whatever genre they like. Look at Ken Follett. His career has been remarkable writing anything from catching Nazis spies to building medieval cathedrals.
How did you break into the field?
I tried for years but couldn’t get invited to the party. The Josiah Reynolds Mystery Series is my flagship series. The protagonist is a middle-aged amateur sleuth who is a beekeeper. I was told that no one wanted to read about an over-the-hill woman. People wanted to read about young, fresh things.
I hired several agents, but they also told me the same thing. So I became an indie writer, and I am so happy that I did. It’s been a wonderful adventure.
What do you want readers to take away from reading your works?
Enjoyment – a few hours where the problems of the world disappear. I hope also to pass along my love of beekeeping and honeybees.
What do you find most rewarding about writing?
The readers. I have had the most engaging letters, emails, and FB posts from readers from all over the world, telling me how my stories have impacted their lives and given them a few hours of entertainment. Their affirmation means the world to me.
What do you find most challenging about writing?
The solitude.
What advice would you give to people wanting to enter the field?
Have a strong support system because you’re going to need it.
Is there anything else besides writing you think people would find interesting about you? I am a real beekeeper. I live on the Palisades overlooking the Kentucky River.

She currently lives on the Kentucky River in a metal house with her husband and various critters. She still has honeybees.
