Mostly Dead

Book two of the Ruthless-the-Killer Mysteries is coming soon!

When a man is murdered during Pelican Bay’s annual Easter egg hunt, Ruth is stunned. But she’s even more shocked when Dan Rivers—the man she’s trying hard not to fall for—is arrested for the crime.

The police say the evidence is clear, but Ruth knows it can’t be true. Dan might be ex-military, guarded, and frustratingly unreadable sometimes—but a killer? He’s good and kind, and he’s spent his life helping people, not hurting them.

The fact that he’s her almost-boyfriend has nothing to do with it.

As town gossip ramps up and her old reputation comes roaring back, Ruth’s determined to uncover the truth. With her tight-knit group of friends rallying to help and a loose-lipped cockatoo threatening to tell the world her secrets, she throws herself into the investigation.

Dan could lose everything. And she could lose… him.

And the real killer? Still out there.

Mostly Dead is a twisty Aussie cozy mystery packed with Easter mayhem, small-town secrets, loyal friendships, and slow-burn romantic tension. The romantic arc continues across the series, unfolding with all the heart, humour, and unfortunate timing you’d expect.

Warning: may cause snorting, swooning, and the unshakable memory of one pocketknife, two flustered humans, and no personal space.

Peck Pocket

Pastries, markets… and a jewel-thieving parrot.

When Ruth and her best friend Shona head to Paris, they expect flaky croissants, not feathered crime. But a missing locket, a desperate girl, and a too-charming busker sweep Ruth into a caper through the City of Light--where adventure lurks around every corner.

This is a lighthearted  short read set five years before Dead Ahead.
