Model Mysteries

Why do I write mysteries? Because I love to read them! People often ask which authors have influenced me--so here are some of Model Mysteries I've read and admired.


Literary Trails

One of the most exciting things about writing is finding engaging settings to incorporate into your stories. I'm sure that many of the novels I enjoyed growing up emphasized my early experiences traveling through Europe, Mexico, and South America. Hence I often find myself on the literary trail of one author or another!


Travel Muse Blog

I love to travel--that's where my extra goes. My motto? When it comes to travel, no excuse is too small! Here I record a few stray adventures.



Cat Fun

I also have a great fondness for cats--mine in particular. I even let them write about their own stories--they have their own volume! And whenever I'm out and about, I can't help photographing some of the world cats I encounter.
