That's right. I've written a novel, a 193 page mystery novel, about a genealogist who becomes involved in a murder in Salt Lake City Utah.
It has been five years in the making, involving endless cups of tea, hundreds of hours of brainstorming with my husband, and over two dozen edits from first draft to final version. In the middle of that five year period I shoved the manuscript into a drawer, not sure how I could ever finish it. Two years later I took it out and with a renewed burst of energy and excitement, carried on writing!
Yesterday I received my proof copy and today I am checking that copy to make sure it is ready to go live! I'll be letting you, my wonderful readers, know as soon as it is available for purchase. I'm anxious, nervous, but also super excited to see if you like it.

Death Finds a Way is the story of Janie Riley,
an avid genealogist with a habit of
stumbling on to dead bodies. With her husband Steven, Janie heads to Salt Lake
City Utah to track down her elusive fourth great-grandmother. But her search
into the past leads her to more than she bargained for. Her discovery of a dark
secret brings her close to danger. Can she solve the mysteries of the past and
the present, and untangle a web of lies before disaster strikes?
