I am very excited to report MURDER ON THE CLIFFS will be out this November!
Be sure to look for it in your local bookstores.
It's the first in the Daphne du Maurier mystery series and there are many more stories ahead!

Travel news
2008 was a very big year!
Much travel and inspiration for new books. I really enjoyed the walking tour of the Dordogne Valley in France...endless quaint villages, castles, hills, valleys, rivers, gourmet delights :-) and all self navigated with my friend Sonya. Next, Belgium and Brugges - Belgium, of course, renowned for its delicious chocolates and beer if you like it! Then on to Italy and the usual favourites Venice...this time walked the fishing villages along the coast -- Portofino among them (maybe a Daphne du Maurier mystery setting?).
Slovenia also surprised me with its fairy-tale appeal. A beautiful country.
And Prague! Ah, the medieval city of cobbled streets and free Mozart, Vivaldi, and Dvorak concerts. Next an overnight train to Krakow, Poland. The fantastic shopping a *must* there - everything is cheap! The city ofo Krakow itself is lovely, full of history and character.
Salzburg. Having missed it on all my travels , I determined to see it this time and it was just as I imagined. Early morning walks took me above the city into the mountains, exploring private castles and manor houses. I believe I even ran into an Austrian count!
