Frequently asked questions
How can I order your books?
All my books are available everywhere books are sold. If they are not physically at your favorite bookstore, you can easily order them, either in person or online. I highly recommend shopping local if you can!
My Regency-set mystery, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord (Lady Petra Inquires, book 1), is out now and available in hardback, paperback, e-book, and audiobook.
Book two in the Lady Petra Inquires series, All's Fair in Love and Treachery, is available for preorder and publishes 12 Nov. 2024!
Are your books at my library? What about in audiobook and e-book?
I'm happy to say my books are in many libraries. If it's not, you can absolutely request them (and thank you for doing so!). They are also available in audiobook and e-book forms.
Do you speak at book clubs and/or library events?
Yes! If you are local (within an hour of Houston), I would love to come to your book club. Please see the Contact page for information on contacting me. If you are not, I'm just as happy to speak with you via Zoom or the like. I also do Facebook book club chats as well.
Do you have book discussion questions available?
I do, yes! Use this link to access a PDF of book-discussion questions for All's Fair in Love and Treachery (Lady Petra Inquires, book two). Questions are available for Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord as well and I will post them as soon as I can.
Do you publish an author newsletter?
I do publish a newsletter! I send one out about once a quarter, with an occasional special edition. They're short and sweet, with book recommendations and other fun stuff. At the top of my website, click on Newsletter to sign up!
Who is your agent? And who do I contact for an interview?
I'm represented by two lovely agents, Christina Hogrebe and Jess Errera at Jane Rotrosen Agency. Website: janerotrosen DOT com

Thank you so much for reading!
I read your Ancestry Detective Mysteries. Do you actually do anyone's genealogy?
Unfortunately, no. I'm fascinated by genealogy and have learned some great information in my research, but I'm more of an armchair genealogist than a professional. I highly recommend contacting your nearest genealogy library or local library for contacts regarding genealogists. If you want to do it yourself, I recommend starting at the National Archives website for some great tips and information. https://www.archives.gov/research/genealogy
