Contemporary Cozy Mysteries
Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, The Gran Vista Hotel offers splendid views of Grandfather Mountain, close access to The Blue Ridge Parkway, and is only five miles from the quaint mountain town of Blowing Rock. Gran Vista owner, Celeste Adams has weathered the loss of her husband and managed to make a success of the hotel despite a murder in the honeymoon suite during her first attempt at hosting a wedding. Two years pass, and another murder gives Celeste cause to worry that prospective guests might believe The Gran Vista is cursed.

About the Author
As both a reader and a writer, I'm a lifelong lover of the written word. Following 21 years with my hometown newspaper, I ran a successful freelance business from 2009-2019 formatting ebooks for independent authors and publishers. Keeping my hand in the publishing industry helped fuel my desire to continue writing.
My first full-length novel, A Soldier's Love was published in 2003. Now 20 years later, I've written books covering a variety of genres from World War II romance, ghost stories, and Old West mysteries. My current works are cozy murder mysteries set at a small hotel, owned by a 60-something widow, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.
