Hometown:: New York is now my hometown
About Me:: I used to own a rare book and antiques store in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and now live in New York City with my husband. My first Josie Prescott mystery, CONSIGNED TO DEATH was nominated for both the Agatha Award and the Macavity Award for Best First Novel, as well as for the Deadly Ink's David Award.

I am the Chair of the Wolfe Pack's literary awards, including the Nero and the new Black Orchid Novella Award (in partnership with Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine) and President of the Mystery Writers of America, New York Chapter.

My third Josie Prescott mystery, Antiques to Die For, was published in April, 2008, and my Fourth, Killer Keepsakes, will be published in April, 2009. I am thrilled to discuss my writing and books with you. Please send me a blog comment or email me.
