A modern Miss Marple recruits two young neighbours as she solves the murder of her nemesis in small-town New England before the investigating officer can uncover her own unconventional sideline in blackmail. This almost 80-year-old widow swaps her silence for home repair: her late husband left the house to the local historical society, which gets possession if she lets the maintenance slip to a single peel of paint. SNOWED plays with cosy mystery tropes and puts a fresh spin on the meddling old lady sleuth in the form of Daisy Hinchley, who is as resourceful as she is resilient.

I'm a writer with a weakness for classic movies, social history, and textiles. I also like to paint and doodle very small pieces of art. And I'm a fan of a good sandwich, especially if it can be had with a cup of tea. 

My focus is on short and novel-length upmarket mysteries, usually with a comedic bent. I love to explore the unlikely alliances that form in the wake of a crime. I've also been known to write knitting patterns, all of which are available via my blog, Hugs For Your Head, at no cost.
