Why I Wrote a Book
This is exactly why I decided to go from dreaming of being a writer to actually writing a book. (Grammar Nazis’ heads are spinning after that breach of grammar!)
I wrote Charlotte Collins because I wanted to read a book about her, but no such thing existed. So I wrote it. FYI: You can get the Personages of Pride & Prejudice Collection (Charlotte Collins, Caroline Bingley, and “Maria Lucas”) for only $2.99 . Merry Christmas!
I decided to write Absolute Liability because I wanted to read a crime dramedy, but no such genre existed. There were out-and-out crime comedies, and there were dark, hard-boiled detective stories, but I wanted the best of both worlds. I wanted to read Castle or The Mentalist in novel form. So I wrote them myself.
What book do you want to read that you can’t find?
Have you ever thought of writing it yourself?
If not, tell me what it is. Maybe I’ll write it.

Thank YOU for a Great Series
I want to thank everyone who read the Southern Fraud Thriller Series. I’ve said it a thousand times, but I’m glad you love Julia and Vincent as much as I do. You made this series what it is today.
Absolute Liability was published a little more than six years ago, and I was terrified that no one would read it or like it. I’m glad my fears were unfounded. The characters in the six books of the Southern Fraud Series are very real to me, and I’ll miss them.
That’s why I couldn’t quite let go of Mercer, Georgia. I’m excited to have started Tripp’s story, which will be told in the Mercer Murders series. I hope you’ll take the next journey with me and Tripp.
