Welcome to my web site... Fast-moving books with fun and funny adventures featuring life-sized heroines!
When you see my book covers—vampires, romantic comedy and mysteries—you might wonder what these books have in common. I confess to a rebellious streak when it comes to storytelling, but I can promise this: all my books feature life-sized, witty, adventurous women. They defeat bad guys, find love and win victories, just as women of all sizes (and ages) do in real life. I offer their stories as an antidote to our culture's view that heroines only come in size zero packages.
I'm happy to see a new ebook and paperback editions of Larger Than Death released in July, with the rest of Josephine Fuller books to be released over the next several months.
Larger Than Death introduces "Jo" Fuller, full-figured and full of attitude with abundant sleuthing skills. In Larger Than Death Jo takes time off from her new job checking out potential charities for an eccentric socialite and walks into a murder scene. Her best friend and early role model, Nina—a plus-sized clothing designer—lies slain in her own apartment. Was she the victim of a serial killer who targets voluptuous women? Or is the murder personal?
As Jo copes with her friend's murder, an unexpected romance and a bizarre host of neighbors, she races to find the killer before becoming the next victim.
The Falstaff Vampire Files was published in October 2011.
Featuring Sir John Falstaff—undead & misbehaving in San Francisco.
Kris Marlowe doesn't believe in vampires, but when she's attacked by a horde of murderous monsters, she must seek help from Sir John Falstaff, the most famous rogue in history, who once drank ale and now drinks only blood.
