Update Coming Soon, 2025
NOTE TO READERS: Hi everyone,
As some of you know from my Facebook I have moved this week, but I was not able to share the extraordinary circumstances for my own safety.
For the past six months I have been interacting with authorities, searching for a safe place to live and finally packing. (living in a thriller myself!)
Because of this I was unable to finish the last edits and take the many steps to upload A Twisted Place to Amazon and Ingram.
I will post the new launch date soon. Whit McKenna is ready to leave her library and investigate a new thrilling assignment in A Twisted Place.
I apologize for the delay!


On a snowy Christmas Eve journalist Whit McKenna is called to cover a murder. Friend Katie Riggs, medical examiner detective, is already on the scene of the vigilante killing.
The leads for both women turn a twisted path down a long forgotten trail to a newly awakened serial killer.
Now a young girl is missing and all the leads point to a dead man.
