My sister and I have two new novels that will be released this summer. Stone of Vengeance is a modern day mystery with a western setting and will be published by Robert Hale in late July. The Devil's Game is a Western and will be published by Avalon Books in August.

I have a new book out titles THE DEVIL'S GATE, a gothic mystery set in Nevada. It will be available on Kindle as well as in paperback. Loretta and I also have a new mystery soon to be released from Robert Hale, STONE OF VENGEANCE, which is set in Wyoming. We are currently at work on a new mystery.

The Curse of Senmut, set in Egypt, is in the editing phase and should be out soon. In addition, Loretta and I have just completed an anthology of short stories. In this anthology, Jeff McQuede, a modern day sheriff with old-time values makes his debut. Possibly, a full-length book will follow. We are seeking a publisher for this anthology.
