Countdown to Bigger Fish
or pre-order it now (coming June 4)

Just launched: WalshInvestigations.com!
To celebrate the upcoming release of my first mystery novel, Sam vs. the Black Hat, I asked my cover designer to put together a website for our heroine, Sam Walsh. It's pretty simple right now, and I haven't decided exactly what I want to do with it. If you want to take a peek and suggest a few things you'd like to see, there's a contact form on the site you can use!

Here in Montana, the sun is shining, the snow is melting, and the mosquitos are awake and hungry. It must be spring! I spent the winter writing, editing, re-writing, editing, despairing, crying, regrouping, writing, and re-re-writing.
What have I got to show for it?
Two novels, one prequel, and one anthology are coming out between June and October this year!
The third installment in Anna’s story is coming June 2024. It’s in my editor’s hands now, and I wouldn’t trust anyone but Lisa McCoy Editing to help me get Bigger Fish ready for the real world. Squarely in the middle of the 5-book series, Bigger Fish is going to be chonky.
Why should you care?
If you read Friday the 14th and loved Anna’s sister, you’ll find a lot to love here, too. If you read 2.15.2020 and had some questions, you might find the answers in Bigger Fish. If you just want more Anna, more Dude, and more MORE, Bigger Fish delivers. You can go ahead and sneak a peek here, and sign up for my newsletter to get the news on publishing day.
A Last Time for Everything is available for pre-order on Amazon now. It’s coming July 4, 2024.
Okay, A Last Time for Everything has been available for pre-order for a while. Like the other ABT prequels, this one is only for true fans – you can skip it and enjoy the main novels without feeling like you’re missing something. I like to use these short stories/novellas to round out my main characters, giving insight into why they do what they do. The earliest prequel in the Anna Bowman Thrillers series, A Last Time for Everything is set in 2002 with all the attendant nostalgia and teenage angst.
"Sue Grafton’s iconic Kinsey Millhone is catapulted into twenty-first century Texas suburbia in book one of the Sam Walsh, PI Mysteries series."
My darling NaNo novel has one more hoop to jump through to make it to publishing day: a novel review group. If you want to be an ARC Reader for my debut mystery novel, sign up here.
Coming September 1, 2024 from Plot Duckies Publishing, the independent, woman-owned publisher behind award-winning novels like Castoffs of the Gods and Meg and the Rocks.
The second annual Women’s Thriller Writers Association Anthology is in the works. This year’s theme will be “Weapons of Choice,” and you won’t believe what I’ve chosen as my weapon. Find out this fall - and stay tuned for more information about book signings in the Albuquerque area!
Did you know a side-effect of the carnivore diet is increased blood flow to the brain, which triggers bursts of creativity, bizarre dreams, and hyper-focus?
Okay, I made that up. But I have been enjoying these “side effects,” the most surprising consequence of which is a cover and title for Book 4 in the Anna Bowman Thrillers series. (Choosing titles has been the hardest part of writing this series!) Inspiration hit me like a ton of bricks, and I’m so happy with the result I can hardly wait to share it. This August, I’ll reveal the cover, the title, and a brief description.
