Secrets and Shamrocks, second in the Jordan Mayfair Mystery Series, is still a good book to grab on St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
WriterFest
I love events where creative people come together and inspire each other. WriterFest weekend at Belmont University was that kind of event, a gathering of writers, aspiring writers, literary agents, editors, and others in the publishing industry. Thanks to Ami McConnell and the team who made it a great success!
My agent, Mary Elizabeth Colton, and I have a good time talking about “Writing from Life.”
I had fun hanging out with Mary Bess Dunn. Here we’re with literary agent Danielle Marshall.

The Amazing Dickson Ladies Literary Society
The Dickson Ladies Literary Society has been going strong for more than 60 years. A few days ago I had the pleasure of joining about 30 lovely ladies who were reading Prodigal, and what a great time I had with them. They meet at the Clement Railroad Museum and Hotel. That in itself was such a pleasure. I want to go back and spend more time in the historic downtown of Dickson!
PRODIGAL audiobook available
Prodigal has just come out as an audiobook! Check it out here. You can listen to a sample to decide whether you want to buy.

Centennial Club
After a wild night of storms in Nashville, this room was still full on Thursday at noon when I spoke to the Centennial Club ladies about Prodigal. Such an honor to be invited! What a thrill to sign the guest book along with signatures from many years past – Robert Frost and Amelia Earhart to name a few!
Parnassus came to the Centennial Club and sold books. These that are left went back to Parnassus.
If you’re thinking of reading Prodigal, please buy it from Parnassus!
New Mystery by a Former Student
